Description
The tip of one flower petal is protected from the front by the arch of another larger petal and from the top by a third petal arching over it. Being protected and secure under the umbrella of others leads to living in a place of security that allows growth through risk taking because you always have that secure base to which you may return. Protected is a macro photograph of dahlia petals using a blending of soft, out of focus areas contrasting with sharpness highlighting just the edge of the petals. This technique focuses the viewer's attention on the repeating design and pattern found within the flower. Mary Jo Allen has specialized in this way of delving deeper into flowers and calls it ColorBlur. Looking deep into a pink and white dahlia blossom reveals gentle, soft layers of petals. This image speaks to the soul of the softness and love that only a flower can bring.
