Unraveling

[Steven Dillon]

Unraveling is a composition from the Stevens Creek Heritage Preserve in McCormick, SC.

From my blog The Artist's Story:
"The background in my Unraveling composition has the most color of any in this group. I used the fact that this particular fern had a horizontal orientation (this was the only one I came across that afternoon that wasn’t unfurling vertically) to my advantage by placing the stem in a corner and letting the leaves come out into the frame. Once again, the high level of detail allows individual hairs to be seen – especially near the focal point."

Beautiful. Old photo or old watermark?

Very nice, love the detail of the curl. Is this fern like a touch-me-not?

Thank you. And....Both.

I'm always at least a year behind in my work. Everything I'm currently composing won't be added to my site or published anywhere until next year. I prep everything, pare them all down, and then decide what gets promoted to keepers. But, before I release anything it has to be registered with eCO first.

Hey Brent,
Thank you. I don't think so - then again, I didn't touch it.
