Photo of the Week: Vermilion

Today's Photo of the Week is another flower image, I know I have a lot of them but I like flowers. I have great appreciation for people who can actually grow them. I have completely given up on any type of gardening, I have the Typhoid Mary Touch otherwise known as a Black Thumb. My house is where innocent plants go to die. That's why I enjoy photographing them so much- it's the only way I can keep them in my house. This image is all about color- vermilion to be specific. I cropped it close to draw focus the gently sloping curve of the petal as well as the brilliant red-orange color.

Photo of The Week: Sun Flower Edition

This photo doesn't have a title yet so if you have any good ones let me know! I have always struggled to give my work appropriate titles. I want something that conveys the meaning of the piece but isn't cheesy. And cheesy is all I've got right now. I took this image while on one of my photo walks. I came upon a group of sunflowers and composed the image to include three flowers in various stages of growth. It shows the life cycle of the sunflower (without death of course we are trying to keep things positive).
