"Incidentally" Flowers

(click any image to enlarge)

I enjoy photographing nature.  I enjoying photographing flowers as a very visual and pleasing part of nature.  But I also enjoy photographing flowers "incidentally" to my overall photographic compositions.  In other words, 'portraits' and close-ups images of flowers are pleasing subjects but I also like to just include flowers into an overall composition when they are incidental, yet vital, to my photographs.

Since it is still springtime in the Northern Hemisphere, I thought I would post several images where the flowers are only part of the overall composition, not the entire composition.  










When encountering a potential photographic subject, sometimes it pays off to think a bit differently than you would normally photograph it.  Stretch your vision, so to speak.

Thanks for looking. Enjoy!

    A good eye, and a lovely set of images Dennis. I have the opposite of a green thumb, so I stick to photographing flowers instead of trying to grow them. LOL - Jim

    These are absolutely lovely, Dennis. They go far beyond "flower photos." I especially like the inclusion of graphic elements. They show a very sophisticated eye.

      Thank you Dave. I especially appreciate the kind words from such an accomplished photographer such as yourself. However, your judgment may have been irretrievably corrupted by spending to much time with that other “Dave.” lol. ~Dennis

    I'm trying to bring him up to speed. There may be hope for him if I can get him to stop trying to make perfectly good photographs into so-so paintings.

      Maybe with both of us helping him, he’ll “see the light!” ~Dennis
