'Winter Shades of Blue'
My soft side. I just couldn't resist taking this one. The day was cold but sunny and these gentle, fluffy flowers caught my attention. If they are flowers, actually. I think they are. For the sake of simplicity, we'll call them flowers. When I look at this, I get a content feeling inside my chest. This is predominantly because of a few things: the structure of the light areas, the long, tenderly curved lines on top of the shorter hairy ones and the overall backlight treatment of the subject.
The blue colour in different tonalities dominates the background, adding a strong statement to the atmosphere, and with it, the overall feeling this photo evokes. It also defines the spatial volume behind the white flowers, partially pushing the flowers closer to us. Little areas of pale magenta pleasantly fill the colour scheme and make sure that everything is in cold, winter mood.
I particularly love the structure of the white hairs. They are the ones adding the dynamics but keep the presence of gentle, almost touchable, sensation. I get a wish to feel these with my fingers and find out what would it be like to touch them. I must also point out the 'cobweb' look on the right side of the photo. It came to life due to the positioning of the sun and close proximity from the lens to the object.
I believe that you haven't noticed that this a double exposure unless you are trained to see the directions of lights. It is visible that the sunlight is coming from the left side, whilst the sun is located to the right. It gives the image an off feeling one cannot explain unless he knows how to look for clues. ;-) This double exposure was done in-camera, it was not composited in Photoshop. When something is composited, like my photograph #168 for example, I have no problem admitting. Every effort that brings in the desired results is valid!
Enjoy! :)
