Beauty: Unfolding Flower, Raindrop Touched Joy
The greatest joy I get from photography is to see something beautiful, find just the right composition, make camera settings to emphasize the beauty, take the picture, then edit it, and FINALLY to just admire and soak in its beauty. I love this unfolding red yellow flower, I love how I emphasize the flower by blurring out the background. I love how something at the height of its beauty is unfolding, open. I love the raindrops that caress the flower. I love the reds and yellows of it. I love knowing that it is open at the height of its beauty, and that that beauty will fade. I love that I captured its beauty before it faded.
