Get Pushed Challenge 530
My challenge - "how about the prompt wabi-sabi meaning transience, imperfection, asymmetry, roughness..."
The challenges involved were to find a suitable subject and then to capture the beauty in it. I saw this dried Easter lily lanquishing away in my sunroom. I felt the blooms were graceful and a lot like old linens with their color and their texture. They were also asymmetrical, transientl (well past their prime.)
@kali66 Here is my photo for your challenge. Thank you. I often spend several days thinking about a subject and how to photograph it for each challenge. This came quicker than many but still was a challenge for me.
@jacqbb Thank you Jacqueline @kali66 Thank you Kali, and yes I am feeling better. @wakelys Appreciate the vote of confidence Sue @grammyn Thank you very much Katy @bkbinthecity Thanks so much Brian @corinnec Thank you @pyrrhula Thank you Ferry.
@kali66 Oh shoot. A bit of lazy brain I guess. I though that I had given you one. Let's see, have you tried the Orton effect on a photo? It's a technique that adds a softness or glow to a (usually) landscape photo. Lots of sites discuss how to get this effect and it's done in post processing. Hope that's not a problem.
I think you found an excellent subject and captured it well. I had cut mine off in Spring and what do you know?! The bulbs have sent up new stalks and I think they're eventually going to bloom again!
@kali66 Thank you Kali, and yes I am feeling better.
