This is pretty cool Jerome, I love the simplicity and the shadows and the green, did you set that up or did you happen upon it just like that?

@desraemelville You mean if I have arranged the plant and the sand especially for the photo?
I have seen this sea bindweed at a morning walk (then the shadows are more expressive because longer). It was all as in the photo, the plant half drifted over from the sand. I did not have to change the situation. On the PC I adjusted the colours and sharpened the contrasts.

Thank you all for your so nice comments!

[Helen Jane]

It is as if I can see every single grain of sands. Quite astonishing clarity. Love the simplicity and beautiful natural arrangement.

[Jerome]

@helenhall Thanks, Helen! In this case I gave the textures a special meaning - the sand, the leaf veins. I reduced the colours. I took a lot of photos of this sea bindweed, which I saw in many places during this morning walk. On this cutting I liked the arrangement of the leaves in combination with the shadows. Then I see the world very "abstract" - as a complex interaction of colours and forms.

[Desrae Melville]

@jerome very beautiful capture!

[Joy's Focus]

Absolutely love this - how the sand has got between the pairs of leaves and the smooth graininess of the sand
