Photograpy Book Club 9

I was taking a number of shots tonight of the early evening in my kitchen. In particular I was shooting through the clear vase holding some Coneflowers which were knocked over by one of our recent thunder storms. Although the petals have shriveled a little, the flowers were still pretty enough to keep in the vase. I was trying to get a silhouette of the petals but ended up with this instead. I like the swirl of the petals and the warm golden tones cast by the lamp which is off to the left side of the room.
I love the abstractness of this -- making the familiar strange. The colors are warm and a good contrast with each other.

Love the pov and the colour, abstract in a way!

The abstract nature of this almost makes it look like an undersea creature but the light is all heat and desert. Very fun

Very cool. For some reason it makes me think of a stage set.

Nice shot, Ann. I like the color and tone and the angle you shot from. I know you didn't get what you were after, but you still pulled off a great shot. Well done :)
