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!!

How about “Laying out the Red Carpet” as a title Bella?
Fantastic sharp shot – love it
Antoine Dagobert, about 1 year ago
Beautiful!Great work Rhana
Deri Dority, about 1 year 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.

Great shot

How about “Earthly Sanctum’s Embrace”?
GracefulShadow, about 1 year ago
I think I might have a better one… Symbiosis
Here’s a few defintions of it’s meaning;
Rhana Griffin, about 1 year ago

GS… I am loving Symbiosis! Definately has potential!!!
Keep those suggestions coming everyone!!!

Rhana Griffin, about 1 year 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, about 1 year 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, about 1 year ago
Can’t help you, sorry…..me and titles are notoriously unsympatico…..its a fabulous shot, though!!!
Rhana Griffin, about 1 year 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! =))

Symbiosis beckons…
Lol, that’s got to be my last attempt, otherwise I’ll develop an obsession… ;)

Beautifull picture, I love the colour selection, really striking
Nicole Goggins, about 1 year ago

Rhana Griffin, about 1 year 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

Crokus Label, about 1 year ago
I like how you work with color isolation… great work.. :)
Crokus Label, about 1 year 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, about 1 year ago
Fascinating interpretation of this well-known landmark (if you travel along the Bass Highway enough times).
Like it, Rhana.

Geoff Coleman, about 1 year 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, about 1 year ago
Intense contrast. Love it
Angela Damecki, about 1 year ago
Wow, your work is great!
cheerishables, about 1 year 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, about 1 year ago
Simply STUNNING…LOVE THIS selective coloring choice. A beauty!!!

Nice job Rhana. That selective colouring works well. This shot would also look great with just the greens selectively coloured too.
