Shining through the Dark

Posted by Jen (Alpharetta, United States) on 17 May 2007 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.

Some little wildflowers/weeds in a sediment and erosion pond area. Beauty grows in the most amazing areas doesn't it?

It took some moments for me to quite see the depth of field here. I love that. And the area is amazing Jen, I agree. I would appreciate seeing that along with some dangerous things too. That could make quite an adventure! :D

@Behrooz: As thick and deep as the pond area is I am quite certain there is probably something dangerous in there. Thanks Behrooz!!!

Craiger from Vacaville, California, United States

I too like the deep greens and contrast going on here. Despite a little camera shake, the repetition of lines and shape make a good photo!

True beauty cannot be squashed; it will shine though and stand tall in the face of adversity. This photo should be a testament to all women, stand tall and be beautiful despite your surroundings. Lovely Jen.

Oh, I really like this. Yeah, to some people they are just weed flowers but they look so beautiful, growing everywhere, brightening little patches of the ground.

Mike Cash from Kiryu, Japan

Another well-done photo! Happy to see you once again used a wide swath of black. It really makes the flower stand out that much more and serves to emphasize the pattern formed by the flower stems.
