In the first case, a macro photograph of the delicate stems of an exotic flower; this scene is a still-life taken in direct sunlight against a shadowed surface. The extraordinary vibrant colors combined with the extremely shallow focus yields a simple yet potent abstract -- a sense of nature in motion as mimicking a fireworks display.
The second image offers a study of mood and form; the monolith ridges of the concrete edifice are echoed and reinforced by the huddled organic spires stretching towards the sky . . . the late afternoon lighting combined with a mixture of atmospherics in the background creates an odd, muted tension.
