...because life is so complicated


Life is so complex that you can sometimes lose what is important in life, sometimes you need to be brought back down to what is important and how important the simple little things in life are.






This is an idea I have had in my head for a while, it was just waiting for the dandilions to come out in September. Picture taken at f5.6 with grass in the foreground and a bank of trees in the background.

Enjoy!
Hope it provokes some thoughts and reflection :D

awesome job. idk if i like the text though. maybe it be better if that was just the title? i guess its just personal prefrence. i think the flower might be a little better off just a touch to the left to fit into the rule of thirds.

i love how blurred the backround is and how is fades from dark to green. it makes for an amazeing effect. nice work.

Yeah the text does look a little false I guess, could go as an explanation better.

Vry beautiful photo :)
the concept is expressed very well, and make me actually think about life.. even if at first sight I tought about life as a really frail thing..
btw awesome work!

The basic material of photographs is not intrinsically beautiful.
It's not like ivory or tapestry or bronze or oil on canvas.
You're not supposed to look at the thing, you’re supposed to look through it.
It's a window.

Thanks for your interpretation too about life being a frail thing. I hadn't thought about it whilst composing the picture, but now it seems very apt and an interesting take on it.

I should have done a series thinking about it of the full dandilion, half blown and fully empty of seeds. Though now the grass has been cut in the local field and it is there no more. Kinda apt really....

Cheers again :D
