You are all so wonderful to take the time to comment on this! I really didn't expect anyone to, and you've made me feel quite special! I learned a lot doing this series and highly recommend taking on something like this for a week. It really forced me to look at it closely and concentrate on things like form, line, texture, and then just dumb things like how to isolate a section of the flower in a shot. It also took me into post processing in really selective ways, from cleaning up a shot to getting rid of an unwanted bit from another flower to thinking about b&w features versus color. Anyway, it was great fun and a good learning experience.
Great collage, Taffy, and looking at this, I realise that one of the things that separate a great, artistic photographer from a mediocre one, is the vision and imagination to see so many aspects, approaches and compositions in one simple object. I might have been able to get one good picture from this; you have eight! (...and I'm sure you have more!)
@ericdibosco Thank you so much Eric -- you have such a good eye that your comment means a lot to me. I will admit that I was running out of ideas toward the end! I don't think I could do a month of a single object, but have toyed with it (and always rejected the plan).
