Alone In The Light ...

A lone Snowdrop (Galanthus nivalis) caught in the light of the fading sun. A rather minimalistic image with my Meyer Görlitz Orestor providing the 'oil-on-canvas' like background I was looking for. The offset position and rather small size was meant to emphasize the 'isolation' and 'delicate nature' of the flower itself ...

An article about the Orestor is HERE.

Cheers, Mark

Mark, I find this very appealing. It is minimalist, but in a good way. I like that there is better light on the flower than some of yor images in the past, but I think you are being true to your vision by expanding the boundaries a bit. cool

Love this, Mark ! Love the isolation of the flower, the sense of loneliness it brings - and a nicely graded backdrop too. Might perhaps just crop a touch in height, but not much !!!

Very nice in its simplicity, Mark. The effect of that lens on the BG, and your expert use of the lens, make this a really cool shot!

Mark: Most excellent! We get these little guys for two or three weeks every spring and then they are gone. I like the lone bloom in the golden BG and how the stem fades away. Well seen and superbly captured.>=))>
