The poppy is a very delicate flower. In editing, I switched the original to black and white and then added some softness and texture... which together, depicts the poppy's fragility.
A large part of photography these days, includes the manipulation (if you will) of the photograph afterwards. Although I'm a purist at heart I am greatly enjoying the creative and artistic touches that are now available to me through photo editing; it has expanded my photographic world. Although the color version of this photo is quite striking, I snuffed out most of the of the vibrant colors in post editing. "Why?", because it added a softness of this photo and subsequently it adds emotion. Also, notice that the first thing you see is the color, and then you look beyond the color and your eyes wonder. My goal then, is to capture your interest first, and then have you look beyond your first impression. The Calli Lilly symbolizes purity, faithfulness and holiness, thus you often see them in wedding bouquets. On closer examination you'll notice words of admiration inscribed in this photo.
