Breaking Through

Breaking Through

Okay well this morning I felt the urge to get out and finally take some new pics and the first thing that caught my eye was a bunch of dandelions that were starting to break apart.. However I didn’t feel like just taking a plain shot of a dandelion, I felt like doing something a tad more artistic, so today I have a series of three dandelion shots that I have processed in an artistic way to break free of the standard flower macro bounds.. I am open to all feedback because I will only keep shots uploaded that people think are worth being on the sight.. Thanks for having a look!

This would have to be the least artistic shot of this morning, as the only real major treatment here was implementing a monochromatic filter and then a sepia filter over the top of that.. As per usual the exposure, contrast and levels were played with to bring the image to what I believed worked best..
I liked this image as it seemed to “pop” and it looks almost as though the dandelion is lurching forward in an attempt to break free from its flowers. I think that this shot and Season’s End both really captured the moment that the dandelion begins to lose its flowers and disappear from existence.

    actually, it works for me a lot, the sepia, detail and dof; if this is your least artistic shot, you must have taken some great images.

    Hi Jeremy,

    I think I prefer this one of the series. I like the sepia treatment that you have given what is an excellent image to start with.

    I really like this one Jeremy. Great DOF and lighting. The filters you’ve applied give it a real “makes me do a double take” kind of punch. Very impressive, if it is indeed the least artistic then I’m really looking forward to the others.
