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...
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
Beautiful!Great work Rhana
Deri Dority
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
Great shot
Rhana Griffin

Carlo Cesar Ro...

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

Symbiosis in Harmony’s Perfection…
Rhana Griffin
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
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
Can’t help you, sorry…..me and titles are notoriously unsympatico…..its a fabulous shot, though!!!
Rhana Griffin
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
K.
Symbiosis beckons…
Lol, that’s got to be my last attempt, otherwise I’ll develop an obsession… ;)
Rhana Griffin
(laughs) and OCD is soooo not hot right now ;)
Jeff Burns
Stuck on giving you a title but its beautiful that is for sure.
Incredibly done :-) I do know that!
Rhana Griffin
Awww Jeff… you are too kind. (insert very large smile here)
Kye Valongo
Stunning colours, composition and lighting.
simonj
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
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
Kye, simonj, Nicole…. thanks so much for stopping by and commenting!

Paul Louis Vil...
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
very nice work,awesome i must tell!
Paul Tait
this is superb. The combination of black and white and red is perfect. How about “the welcome mat” for a title
Andrew Bosman
Great title, very cerebral.
Lucindawind

Michael Kienhuis
Bingo! M:>
karen49

Rhana Griffin
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))
Lisa Jewell

XOXOXOXO
Rhana Griffin
=))) You are one cool chicky babe you know that?
Lisa Jewell
With friends like you, how can I not be ;) hehe haha…..
Rhana Griffin
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 ;)

Nathan Dooley
I’ve alwayz been amazed at this place everytime I’ve gone past it on the way east.
Crokus Label
I like how you work with color isolation… great work.. :)
Crokus Label
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
Fascinating interpretation of this well-known landmark (if you travel along the Bass Highway enough times).
Like it, Rhana.
Catalin Soare
Rare and beautiful work!
budrfli
beautiful work! great selective color!
Heather Davies
fabulous!!
Geoff Coleman...
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
Intense contrast. Love it
Angela Damecki
Wow, your work is great!
cheerishables
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
Simply STUNNING…LOVE THIS selective coloring choice. A beauty!!!
Kurt Tutschek
very clever use of selective color – a very fine image.
Gerard Rotse
Very well done. Love the steps in red.
Ant Vaughan
Very beautiful!
clarkey
This looks like it comes from an exotic location. Nicely done.
Alan Rodmell
Nice job Rhana. That selective colouring works well. This shot would also look great with just the greens selectively coloured too.
Julie Langford
Ohhhh so cool – how did I miss this? Wonderful work
