Weathered Wonder

Pressing on and through, these blooms move past the barrier of fatigue to see and touch the world around them. Even in this, especially in this, they inspire.

When composing this shot, I chose to place the focal flower off to the side, not centered. This makes for a more interesting shot. Using the two blooms in the background as echoes, gradually more distant and blurred, points by way of repetition to the subject.

I played with the colour in Lightroom until I found a bit of a metallic grey accent that went well with the worn iron fencing that the bloom found its way through.
