edge of the scar

Posted by ordinaryimages (Kentucky Bluegrass, United States) on 20 May 2009 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.

I'm working along the edge of an area that was bulldozed for a sewer line...where nature is busy healing itself.

You make the most beautiful velvety blacks imaginable...and there amongst the leaves is my favorite puff ball! Lovely photo.

@Dulcie: Thanks! It was twilight when I shot this, the dandelion offered a contrasting note.

Good framing, I like the "silver" leave in the middle

@xavier cardell: Thanks! In my monochromatic shorthand, I know warm colors...yellows, reds, oranges...convert lighter, so the yellow leaf popped as expected and was what initially attracted me to the frame.

Does not take long for Nature to get things back to the way they were . . not once the dandelions have arrived !

From a few weeds you have made a beautiful image, and your monochrome is premium quality !

Perfect collection of tones and textures. The dandelion reminds me of fireworks.

@Chris Parr: Thanks! Fireworks remind me of dandelions : ]

great shot - it's strange sometimes to see the photo and then hear about what's just outside the frame.
