The sky is a gradient from dark at the top to light near the horizon, with a pair of illuminated circular shapes resembling multiple suns or reflections near the horizon line. In the foreground, there is a silhouette of a fence or railing, with visible vertical posts and inclined railing, possibly indicating a pathway or promenade.

Shadows and lines #nature #photography #flowers #BloomScrolling #BNWmacro #ArtYear #smArtist
The image is a close-up black-and-white photograph of a flower. The focus is on the central part of the flower, showing densely packed, textured structures around the center that could be stamens or pollen clusters. Radiating from the center are the petals, which appear elongated and slightly curved. The petals exhibit various shades of gray, creating a subtle contrast that emphasizes their linear texture. The petals have fine lines and striations running along their length, contributing to the image's intricate detail. The composition provides a dramatic, almost abstract perspective of the flower.

Reaching out #nature #photography #marshlands #autumn #scape #landscape #ArtYear #smArtist
The image depicts a marshland at dusk, characterized by tall, barren tree trunks jutting out from the water. The trees are leafless, with stark, dark silhouettes against a soft gradient sky transitioning from orange near the horizon to blue at the top. Scattered branches and logs are partially submerged in the greenish, algae-covered water. In the background, a dense line of foliage forms the horizon under the fading light. A crescent moon is visible in the upper quarter of the sky, adding a tranquil element to the scene
