New Images #31: Flora
A mixed bag for New Images this week, all flora. The featured image above and left is “Abstract Garden.” (Click left for other view and full-size option. Although I think I prefer the smaller image.)

Abstract Lilies 3
This is a red Asiatic Lily. Unlike the two previous installments – about which you could readily identify the flowers as lilies – this one is truly abstract. The extreme macro shows off the texture of the petals. The image has an almost sculptured quality. The Asiatic lilies, with the Oriental lilies, are the two…

Improvisations
For a midweek post, here is a series of improvisations. There is a variety of techniques at work here. But for the most part the idea here is that I created images fairly quickly and without much planning or intended outcomes. All originated in camera.

Flow
These images explore the idea of flow. These are three images of a forest stream in Maine. Though the image is here shown as a single image, in reality it is a triptych – i.e., three separate images. The photographs are not time exposures; some editing has, however, been applied in post, emphasizing the colors…
