This is an artichoke gone to seed. It is large. I don’t know how the stem holds it up. The blossom is bigger than my hand. The true color is truer to the bluish purple on the right, but I was playing with exposure and backgrounds.
I like this collage, almost made with opposite colours but not quite. The idea of sliding one half vs the other works well, it is much more dynamic than if you had just made a straight juxtaposition of the two images.
