Charles Mercier's picture

Today's quick shot

Just out for my walk today and noticed the evenness of all the fallen flower petals. (Not really flowers but the flowering part of elm(?) trees.)

My first thought when I saw your photo was how perfectly they lie there then I read your post - you were struck by that too. Nice catch, Charles!

Thanks! It was so eye catching that I stopped and had to stop and take a few steps back to get this photo.

At first glance I thought it was a high up image of Lilly pads on a pond surface. It’s really nice.

Thanks. Each one is about the size of your pinky fingernail.

Nice catch Charles. I really like the randomness, yet collective nature of this.

I tried cropping in a bit and bringing up contrast etc to see what difference this might offer, but I'm not sure if it says anything different to your original image.

Just for comparison sake......

Well, the reason I didn't do it like yours is because I like the white border of the curb on the top, the brown right bottom corner breaks up the monotony as well as the single brown leaf of the same size at the left bottom third of the photo. And I didn't even notice that single brown leaf until you got rid of it!

That sounds good Charles. On second looks I think I tend to agree with you on all points.
