Calla Lily -- Now and Then

[kdthomas]

This is the same flower ... the first is the day it came from the flower shop. The second is two months later after it died.

Very nice life and death study.

Very nice photos. I especially like the lighting in the " Now", "Then" seems to be lit more from the side creating a shadow around the centre stamen part.

The high key version is awesome as well. I could see any of these being an art print.

Cala was my wedding flower, I looked at many famous prints trying to find a gift for my wife. I buy live plants or flowers often. Wish they were a bit easier to keep in my climate, nice plants.

Yeah, nice work! I like the way you kept the same height of the flower in the prime/decay states. I always enjoy seeing your photos.

 

[tirediron]

I can see all of these as really large prints. Nicely done!
