Final Blossom
Final Blossom has three elements--a deep blue blossom, a richly hued late fall maple leaf, and an aging metal bread basket, all of which brings in complementary tones from the color wheel. Though the blossom was small, I used focus stacking to assure a sharply detailed palate could be felt from the blossom on top to the bowl. I chose to light it dimly to assure the viewer's attention to the central subject. The image placed 1st in February 2021 for Arundel Camera Club.
