Symbiotic Embrace

HELP!!

I have been sitting on this image for a while trying to figure out a name for it and well… I am just drawing a blank. So I thought I would throw it out there to you all to see if you wouldnt mind helping a girl out? All suggestions for a title gratefully accepted =))

*Background info – this is a conservatory near Paramatta Creek in Tasmania, hidden away off the road in the most unlikely of places.

UPDATE!!* As you may notice, this piece is no longer “untitled” A journal entry of thanks has been posted.

I’ve got nothin as a title, but WOW, this is fantastic….. The selective colour on those stairs is awesome Rhana…. Well done!!
Torfinn Johann..., 9 months ago

Excellent work Rhana. Great composition, colour treatment, contrast, and lightning. Well done!

How about “Laying out the Red Carpet” as a title Bella?

Fantastic sharp shot – love it
Antoine Dagobert, 9 months ago

Beautiful!Great work Rhana
Deri Dority, 9 months ago

Wow, this is really an incredible image. Since this is the front of the building why not call it something like “The Facade” or “All Who Enter Here”. Just some thoughts. It is such a special photo you should have a good name to describe it.
Helene Kippert, 9 months ago

Great shot
Rhana Griffin, 9 months ago

Thanks everyone… I am so incredibly happy with how this one turned out. Stuart and derid… thanks so much for your suggestions… it really is a bit of a tricky one!
Carlo Cesar Ro..., 9 months ago

How about “Earthly Sanctum’s Embrace”?
GracefulShadow, 9 months ago

I think I might have a better one… Symbiosis

Here’s a few defintions of it’s meaning;
- a relationship in which members of two different species benefit and neither suffers.
- a relationship in which ‘one party gains some benefit, whilst the other suffers no serious disadvantage.’
Rhana Griffin, 9 months ago

Thanks again for your wonderful comments and for your very creative suggestions!!

GS… I am loving Symbiosis! Definately has potential!!!

Keep those suggestions coming everyone!!!
Elaine van Dyk, 9 months ago

Wow, Rhana….....magic! This is a really awesome image and so visually stimulating! Love the red stairs and the moody clouds.

Symbiotic ascent… (I’m determined ;)

Symbiosis in Harmony’s Perfection…
Rhana Griffin, 9 months ago

Yes GS… yes you are… (laughs) I like Symbiotic Embrace best so far. But if you have any more up your sleeve BRING THEM ON!!! =))

Visually stimulating Whirli?? Oh I like that… I like that a lot! =))

Thanks so much everyone… your comments mean so much, they always do, but especially on this one. So much fun was had creating this one… and a lot of time was invested so its fantastic to see it appreciated. THANKYOU!!
Rhana Griffin, 9 months ago

Oh and GS… your “Symbiotic Life blood Courses in Harmony’s Perfection…” is nearly as long as the only title I managed to scrape together and then immediately put in the trash bin.

“Miss Scarlet, with the candlestick, in the conservatory”

Actually… I think yours looks longer!!
Mel Brackstone, 9 months ago

Can’t help you, sorry…..me and titles are notoriously unsympatico…..its a fabulous shot, though!!!
Rhana Griffin, 9 months ago

Its weird Mel… Normally I can fit a title to an image piece of cake… this one has given me so much grief though its unbelievable! =))
GracefulShadow, 9 months ago

K.

Symbiosis beckons…

Lol, that’s got to be my last attempt, otherwise I’ll develop an obsession… ;)
Rhana Griffin, 9 months ago

(laughs) and OCD is soooo not hot right now ;)
Jeff Burns, 9 months ago

Stuck on giving you a title but its beautiful that is for sure.
Incredibly done :-) I do know that!
Rhana Griffin, 9 months ago

Awww Jeff… you are too kind. (insert very large smile here)
Kye Valongo, 9 months ago

Stunning colours, composition and lighting.
simonj, 9 months ago

The only thing I can come up with is “Shelter…!” reading between the lines

Beautifull picture, I love the colour selection, really striking
Nicole Goggins, 9 months ago

wow – great shot! love the use of selective colour, can’t help with the title – hopeless when it comes to that sort of thing…
Rhana Griffin, 9 months ago

Kye, simonj, Nicole…. thanks so much for stopping by and commenting!

Alan Findlater, 9 months ago

Paul Louis Vil..., 9 months ago

Looks very surreal, almost as if you have painted in the background! I really like the way the B&W greenery has covered half the building, so beautiful! :D
jerry alcantara, 9 months ago

Paul Tait, 9 months ago

Le conservatoire de rouge
Rhana Griffin, 9 months ago

Lovely Lisa… that is just damn beautiful… and so totally appropriate! You were just pipped at the post however… the name was changed about ten minutes ago ((hugs))
LisaG, 9 months ago

XOXOXOXO
Rhana Griffin, 9 months ago

=))) You are one cool chicky babe you know that?
LisaG, 9 months ago

With friends like you, how can I not be ;) hehe haha…..
Rhana Griffin, 9 months ago

Yay! Interior image gone! Thanks so much RB!!

Now… as I was saying in that post…

Richie… you crack me up! Hawticultural heaven is just magic!!!

Paul Tait… “The welcome mat” is brilliant! I was looking more towards the red steps when thinking of a title but Symbiosis just hit home.

Paul LV… Painted in the background? you ARE a clever cookie! The sky is in fact borrowed…

Boz… Cerebral? Dont you be swearing at me ;)

I am far too late to be adding to the ideas for a title..and the ones that everyone came up with are absolutely DELICIOUS! applauds you all
I am such a big fan of black and white and a dash of RED..it’s just so damn effective. What an amazing shot. You are bloody good…have I ever told ya? :p

Nathan Dooley, 9 months ago

I’ve alwayz been amazed at this place everytime I’ve gone past it on the way east.
Crokus Label, 9 months ago

I like how you work with color isolation… great work.. :)
Crokus Label, 9 months ago

and I think that this picture would also be good if you were to put the color into the tree on the right as well as on the leaves covering the house… (just my 2 cents…)
Peter Daalder, 9 months ago

Fascinating interpretation of this well-known landmark (if you travel along the Bass Highway enough times).
Like it, Rhana.
Catalin Soare, 9 months ago

Rare and beautiful work!
budrfli, 9 months ago

beautiful work! great selective color!
hdphotos, 9 months ago

fabulous!!
Geoff Coleman, 9 months ago

Oh wow, another treasure – how have I missed these? Where to start with this one – the brilliant composition, the spot-on b/w treatment or that inspired red highlighting to the steps? Just such highly skilled technique Rhana on a subject worthy of it.
klezedawg, 9 months ago

Intense contrast. Love it
Angela Damecki, 9 months ago

Wow, your work is great!
cheerishables, 9 months ago

This is exceptional. I really, really love that shot of bold red on the steps … it’s intensely captivating.
the ivy on the pure white building and the palm tress frame this composition so perfectly. It’s a shame that you sat on this image waiting to come up with a title for it, but I know what you mean …. I do the same thing. Whatever you would have chose to name this doesn’t matter .... this is truly a masterpiece!
Michael J Armijo, 9 months ago

Simply STUNNING…LOVE THIS selective coloring choice. A beauty!!!
Kurt Tutschek, 8 months ago

very clever use of selective color – a very fine image.
Gerard Rotse, 8 months ago

Very well done. Love the steps in red.
Ant Vaughan, 8 months ago

Very beautiful!
clarkey, 8 months ago

This looks like it comes from an exotic location. Nicely done.
Alan Rodmell, 7 months ago

Nice job Rhana. That selective colouring works well. This shot would also look great with just the greens selectively coloured too.
Julie Langford, 6 months ago

Ohhhh so cool – how did I miss this? Wonderful work
