A short picture story no 1
This is the type of picture that many people would take. One can see how the plants grow in their natural environment and how many flowers they produce, what shape and colour the flowers are etc.
This picture tells us that the same species may also grow in a different situation and it shows the leaves and the back of the flowers.
Here we see the relatively enormous size of the flower and the beautiful markings on it.
So between them, these three pictures are quite informative, and with some cropping their message would become even stronger.
But whatever you do to them, they will still be run-of-the-mill pictures and visually there is not much to return to once you have seen them. Now look at the next picture!
Here we are still looking at the same species, but the picture is rather different!
This time we see no open flowers, but the back of an almost mature bud. The dark background makes the petals almost sparkle.
This is a small part of my e-book “Plant and flower photography; from theory to practice”.
