Thank you. I like pictures to create a mood - successfully or otherwise. I was walking along a carpark, and thought the grill seemed to have encased the outside building in a peculiar way. I shot the pic for this reason. Nothing clever. Glad you like it.
Normally I try to optimize focus, resolution detail etc. but with this image the idea was to produce a representation of the feeling of the jungle. So for the purists please excuse this "painterly" approach.
Johnlarson - Thank you for taking a look and commenting. It was 10 days of trekking to get up to the Annapurna Base Camp. Most of the trek is through beautiful tropical and sub-tropical forest until you reach 2500 meters then it turns into Alpine terrain without trees. This small village with its tea houses is typical along this route.
Using selective focus to zero in on the few stalks, dew drops and buds. Made them stand out but also seemingly more fragile. Glad that you like this. Thank you.
All are natural, taken at the Botanic Garden. A bit of sun came out at the right time to light up part of the wall, Thank you. The designer had given some thoughts to it too.
