Sally D’s Mobile Photography Challenge this week is nature.
30 years ago an acquaintance of mine called a photo like this a “Flower Portrait” and it took until this year for that to sink into my brain. Once I started looking at how light and shadow combined with point-of-view, I made the leap from documenting flowers to portraying them.
Don’t get me wrong, I like a well-focused macro shot of a flower but this year I am having more fun creating portraitures.
I never thought of the difference between documentation and portraiture before!

It is subtle, but it’s there—and just a state-of-mind away. Thanks for joining the discussion.
