About the Image(s)

This is made up of four separate images of a Cosmos flower from my garden. I had a glass container filled with water and used a high shutter speed to capture the flower and bubbles as I thrust it quickly into the water. Every time I did it there was a different result. The flowers were then flipped vertically to the usual orientation. I selected four that had interesting bubbles etc and placed them all into one image. I upped the saturation a little and got rid of any unwanted stray bubbles. The image was then flattened and slightly sharpened using high pass.

This is great! I tried to shoot through a glass container once - it did not go well - too much glare.

I love that you put four together. Very cool result!   Posted: 01/07/2025 17:06:59

A photography exercise well thought out and executed.
I guess I am in a "Context" mood this morning, but I would like to see it with a snowy background. Just a thought.   Posted: 01/17/2025 18:03:47

Angela, outstanding low key image. It has great visual impact and interest. Hope you don't mind but I would crop the right flower. With four flowers your eye doesn't know where to look but with three you would see the three flowers as a whole. Rules can be broken but I was taught to always have an odd number of objects in an image. Either way this is a super image.   Posted: 01/18/2025 01:58:43
