OK, I'm not sure what the game is here but I will say that I like this composition - a lot! The juxtaposition of the dried cracking earth and blooming flower is excellent. My only "negative" is that the flower head doesn't look sharp enough. Otherwise, it is a winner in my eyes.
Hey Jeffrey,
Yep.....that's what I was talking about! I may lighten the flower just a hair and possibly run a bit more sharpening as presented......but very well done nevertheless. Not as easy as it looks when you have that many patterns and your choice of placement and crack comp is excellent.
I'd image that without the flower you wouldn't even pull the camera out? .....well maybe for a well placed rock or bug.
Very nicely done here too!
Very nice. Where did you get the ladder? Was the flower growing in place? The only thing that bugs me is the merge between the petal at 7 o'clock and the leaf... The chioce of a slightly different perspecitve would have avoided that.
