Its a matter of Perspective

For her birthday last year, I expanded, tranplanted and planted a garden for my mother. As the spring has gone by, it has been a relief to see everything returning and sprouting out of the ground. So, her new garden became my playground for my first assignment on :PERSPECTIVE.

Angle I

Angle II

I love Angle II. It takes a step away from the 'norm', meaning "This is a flower, and it is a white Iris". Rather, it focuses more on the detail of the petals, and abstracts the flowers completely from its surroundings. Having the flower juxtaposed with the sky, allows you to do just that. You do not see the rest of the garden, other flowers or even the ground.
Another reason I really enjoy Angle II, is the element of the viewer. With Angle I, the viewer is at the eye-to-eye perspective. You see the object, or flower in this instant, as it would normally be viewed. Angle II, so more of an ant-eye perspective. The flower is being placed out of context, and you are being presented with a view that you would normally not see a flower in. It allows the viewer to step outside of the a regular postion of a viewer, and you play more a role of an explorer.
