LOW-gistics & UNDER-standing,  Made this Image "Fresh"

Many photographic subjects become cliches over time, this due to their being recorded from similar distances, similar angles, and, composed essentially in similar ways within the viewfinder.

Flowers are a prime example, with compositional considerations usually dictated by their height and shape -- rather than by the photographer's conscious decision to "mix-it-up" occasionally.

For the Coreopsis flower in the image below, I tried shooting from beneath it rather than from above and/or head-on, and, I desaturated the colors in order to emphasize their form , which I quite aesthetic.

Shooting from underneath = LOW-gistics & UNDER-standing (as in STANDING UNDER sort of).

These puns are a way to remind myself to not always approach a photographic subject in the same manner and to re-think an approach before clicking the shutter the objective being a "fresh" look at an often-recorded subject.

690_discussions.jpg Only slightly "posterized," that in combination with the angle (point-of-view) and the color desaturation, IMO, gives a "fresh" look to this particular image.

A Mac

It looks as if the flowers are actually in the process of taking off in flight

Beautiful

Thanks

Thank you, Feronia,

I was unaware of this artist/exhibition. Indeed, it has a flower-garden feeling.

Step out of the acrimony and into the beauty of Nature.

It's good for you.
