*Rob Miracle* – Azalea
http://people.rit.edu/andpph/gallery/miracle.html
Nature produces some of the most wonderful and beautiful creations on
earth. The water droplets (another nature element) add so much to the
beauty of nature. The background shifting from almost pure black on the
left to green on the right is sets off the red/pink of the Azalea
blossom from the rest of the photo so perfectly. The out of focus (to
varying degrees) stems and leaves add to the feeling that this is nature
captured raw rather than arranged by man.
The way the stems leave the photo, both by the amount of focus and the
placement, do not lead the eye away from the blossom. Artistically, this
is very well done. However the minimal amount of black below the lowest
petal of the Azalea /almost/ pulls the eye away. Contrast that with the
amount of black at the top of the photo above the highest petal, and the
pull is not nearly as strong.
For me, this photograph is a winner.
