Great shot Arwa! The well defined leaves of the palm contrast so nicely with the mottled light in the background. Beautiful sharp light on the leaves too. i know you are a big proponent of the rule of thirds and this is a perfect example!

No Arwa, it's not boring.. Actually I find creative to play with the same object (subject) and present it in a different way every time.. it's a learning method..
I like this picture.. Nice & different composition..

Hi Patrick!
Thank you taking the time and leaving a comment!
I intend on re shooting this plant with different point of view keeping patterns and symmetry in mind, and I?ll try your suggestions
Good to have you back!

Girish Chonkar   {K:6903} 5/20/2005
Superb catch Arwa, it's not boaring at all. I liked the patterned formed in bg cause of out of focus.

arwa abdullah   {K:34415} 5/20/2005
hello paul!
I took another one with shallower DOF and I kept the green colors but saturated them even more for the alternate perception project!
Thank you my friend

hello david! :)
I see what your talking about but doesn?t it add texture to the leaves?
Thank you so much for your honest feedback and critique I really appreciate it!
And I would like to invite you to have a look at the rest of my black and white floras!

Great idea!
I haven?t seen the symmetry when taking the picture and your right about the right empty space!
I?ll re take it and try a different perspective
Thank you for the comment thilo :)

Cheryl Ogle   {K:24494} 5/20/2005
I love the lines in this with all the zig and zag I think there's a ton of interest for the eye here. The thumbnail does this no justice girl! The DOF is excellent too. Very nice focus with your use of the 3rds rule playing a dominate role here...

Abstract is something I have almost no talent for, but this is a joy to look at. The sepia toning works wonderfully here.

Why do you think it's boring Arwa?
That will never happen if you keep shooting from the heart...
I like this, good work indeed, a fine image
take care

Thilo Bayer Thilo Bayer   {K:50358} 5/19/2005
Hi Arwa,

awesome stuff again. The DOF together with the creative cropping forms a very good abstract. in addition the wonderful toning add some nice momentum. I'm a bit uncertain about the offset here. My first impression was: Good to have the space. My second was: oh, it looks empty. And there is no actual need for that open space as a contrast to the background as the background is so perfectly separated by the DOF...

So: wonderful one, would be interesting to see a more symmetrical version ;-)

best wishes,

Thilo

David Morris   {K:1404} 5/19/2005
Boring? Are you kidding? I think this is very well done. My only real complaint about it is that there is some damage to the underpart of the leaf that is second from the bottom (first one from the bottom on the left) near the stem. I think if you were to clone that out it would be nearly perfect, at least in my opinion.

Absolutely not boring!
In the flora you can find good subjects and nice geometries and... they usually can stay still for long long time without claims :)))
I like the contrast, the composition and DOF.
A mix of flora and abstract!

Bye

Boring? Are you kidding?!?!? I think its great! The tones are fabulous and I love the off center composition. This is a very different way of looking at a flower. Very well done. :)
