Purple Spots

4 years 5 months ago #665772 by stevendillonphoto
Purple Spots is from my Naturally Abstract collection and was composed at the Aiken County Historical Museum in Aiken, SC.  Ever wondered what the inside of a foxglove flower looks like?  I intended to compose this flower in a traditional manner, but Mother Nature had other ideas.  When I arrived at the location where it was growing, I was disappointed to find that most of the flower had been destroyed (only a single stalk remained upright).  Many of the blooms were on the ground.  So, I decided to make the best of the situation.  I picked up one of the discarded blooms, opened it up, and put it back on a piece of bark on the ground.  That allowed me to see what is normally hidden from view and to compose this at two times life-size magnification since I was able to get real close to it.
