Emotional Minimalism

I got a request to show my new vase with flowers that I featured in my how to survive November round post. I am not happy with any of these, not even the edited one.But here they are for John’s Cellpic Sunday.

A single red rose in a sleek glass vase, sharing my feelings in a minimalistic style . Not happy.

  1. That first one is great! I like the simplicity and composition of it. True cell phone pics can be great or not so great 😉 Ive found using portrait mode on my phone results in MUCH better photos – I will always prefer my camera though!

    1. I can do cell phone photography, but at the moment there is no natural light, it has been 9 does without it been seem at all. Just gray and rain and as we only have sunlight between 9:14- 15:16 so that is an issue:-D

  2. The single rose one is such an emotionally charged photograph – the drooped leaves resemble its act of wanting to take support of the rim of the vase , its stem resembling a crooked spine trying to support as the rose gently wilts away as a calling of time. It’s powerfully sad.

  3. That single rose does look sad and I’m sorry you’re feeling the same way, but I like the bigger bunch in the new round vase 🙂

  4. Well, your first image of the single rose in the narrow vase is definitely minimalist, but for the rose to be truly sad it needs to be a little more decayed! Worth exploring further…..
