at the mouth of the dragon

I admit I am not a big fan of Georgia o’Keefe’s flower paintings.

There is something about interpreting that intimate world of flowers

through painting – stylizing that domain that leaves me wanting. In

this area of art, I feel photography wins out over painting. Macro

photography astounds us by revealing a layer of reality we didn’t know

existed. I have not seen a painting that explores that world more

intriguingly than such artists as Radu Carp, Line Martel and other

photographers. Comments and critique appreciated.

Wayne,

  Wow...amazing image with beautiful lighting, clarity & details.  Take care, Patsy

Thanks, Patsy.  Comments from an artist like you are very encouraging.

Janegbert,

Thanks, I appreciate your taking time with this image.

Fabulous Macro. I don't know if I've seen this bug before. Your detail is well realized.  The delicate details of the flower are captured well also.  Sometimes I wonder if 'bugs' think....they must....and also live by instinct, but I wonder what this fellow had on his mind.

Gail,

Many thanks.  It may be my imagination but sometimes it feels we (bugs and I) are carrying on a dialogue during these photo shoots.
