Seeing 2010 (#53)

For your consideration: two still-life images, of differing sorts.

The first is another offering from my growing body of leaf and flower series, a subject matter I apparently favor. Here we have a macro image of a lily firmly planted, yet by virtue of this particular perspective conveys the illusion of an object swiftly flowing across the frame. This was shot in natural, late afternoon sunlight.

The second photograph is a portrait of a good friend, who reluctantly but with good humor agreed to pose on an overcast afternoon following a day-long gathering of mutual friends. In contrast to the delicacy of the first submission, this pseudo still-life's subject emanates strength, confidence and a keen watchfulness.
