White Violet ( Viola pallens )

No words needed. Right away to my favorites.

BR,

Thanks for the comment. I must admit I may be less enthusiastic about this image than you are. I have been trying to develop a style which is in part inspired by a few other photographers whom I admire. Although this attempt you see here is still a long way away from my ultimate goal, I am pleased to know that I may be on the right path.

 

 

Really nice Gord - I enjoy photographs like this! The flower comes out really well from the background, and I like the inclusion of a few drops of water that gives the picture a hint of sadness - tears, you see.

 

Definitely a good one.

Hey Pete;

 

How are you doing these days ? Still hard at work outdoors and working on that thesis ?

 

I hope you find some time to get out the camera and do a bit of photography.

 

I took this photo in a bog after a rainstorm. The cross shaped object behind the violet is a sphagnum moss head and the uprights are reeds. I've been trying to pay more attention to giving a sense of place and perspective to my floral photos.

 

I'll drop around to your pages to see what you've been up to.

Hi Gord,

 

Thanks for the extra info on the picture. I agree - its nice at times to get a sense of placement, and you've got a nice combination of unobtrusive yet interesting background to complement the flower. You've done good!

 

Well...I'm working outdoors all the time and absolutely knackered! The D.Phil thesis is now complete and I submitted it about 4 weeks ago. Just waiting now to hear whether or not I'll have to sit another viva, or whether it'll be accepted with perhaps minor edits. Fingers crossed!

 

I'm definitely finding more time for pictures now. the latest lot are in my "Seeds of Love" folder. I'm in the middle of going through your work and am excited by what I am seeing - pleased to see you're always busy at it.

 

Speak soon I hope.

 

Pete

 

 

I've wandered over and taken a look a few time I will try to find time to leave a few comments.... life is crazy busy at the moment.
