I photographed a bouquet of soft pink lilies against a background window. I added a bluish texture to the background to highlight the window and to bring out the beauty of the lilies. I deliberately made the lilies very soft and almost transparent to create almost a dreamy quality. The image captures the intricate details of the petals and stamens.
Golden Light on Tree Trunk
In the early morning I pass this tree on the way out of my community. On a sunny day, the sun just illuminates the tree, making it look almost two dimensional–but only in the morning. By the afternoon, it is just the one shade. I decided to capture this beautiful transformation one day, waking up early just to get the light just right. It is amazing the things you see by paying attention. This composition captures the serene beauty of a natural landscape.
