I like the movement in this floral and the painterly feel to the background. It was taken on a windy day, with some back lighting. Normally I would grab my macro lens for a floral, but this time I got up close with the 17-55mm IS at f/2.8 and I really liked the results. More to follow…
The original image was converted to black and white with one of my favourite Lightroom presets, after which I just tweaked my way along to make it my own.
These delightful figures are scattered along one of our rural roads thanks to the “Holletts”, new residents who immediately gave of their artistic talents.
I have taken to visiting the road regularly, looking for my favourites and enjoying the surprise of anyone new. I love their fit into the natural world and imagine each figure will grow even more beautiful as they meld with the environment.
I’m sharing my favourites here and you can view the complete series in my Image Gallery. These were taken over the summer at various times and in varying light.
