Minimalist

Hopefully you can see the background details

 

 

This was a daisy just floating on the surface of a mucky boating lake with the clouds being reflected in the sludge

not quite sure, don't dislike it but I think the reflection aspect is not working that well but I do like the simplicity of the shot.

Quite arty

Maybe the sludge needs a little lift or then again maybe it dosnt

I like this

hmmmmm   

to me it looks like an add for something but the writing is midding??

I like it, but I think the clouds need lightening up a bit so more  of the detail shows up.
The flower is spot of with the focusing. It couldn't have been easy with it floating around.

I like this as a simple picture, but did not pick the background as a reflection. Good try, Bugmeister.

I love, love, love this image......Speaks volumes for me.  I can visualise a quote or few lines of poetry in the centre part, something simple.  Of course though, it's perfectly apt as it is - less is more.  Well done.

Thank you, folks. I love it when a picture brings different thoughts from different people.

 

The original intention was just for a minimalist daisy on water, leaving plenty of room for the viewer to interpret the blank area as they wished. It wasn't until I got home and processed it that I realised I had the clouds in the reflection and I tried to bring them up a bit to relieve the background. That is not what I originally aimed for but it sort of worked and it looks fairly good printed at A3.

 

Thanks again

 

p.s. if you can't see the clouds, your monitor may need calibrating

i can see the clouds but i still think i would like to see them a little lighter maybe ? not too sure. But it works the way it is too ... hmmmm its definitely one of those shots
