123/365: "The longer you look at an object, the more abstract it becomes, and, ironically, the more real." ~ Lucian Freud
Today's pick is another evening image. I took pictures of several subjects but this one ended up being my favorite. It's a goatsbeard seed parachute (pappus) that I photographed on a mirror. I played around with lots of angles and apertures, but in the end, I loved the abstract quality of this image, focused on the very tip of the seed. Steve calls this picture, "Nature's Ballet". Thanks to Zandrsmum for helping to inspire me!
Lucian Michael Freud, OM, CH (8 December 1922 – 20 July 2011) was a German-born British painter. Known chiefly for his thickly impastoed portrait and figure paintings, he was widely considered the pre-eminent British artist of his time. His works are noted for their psychological penetration, and for their often discomforting examination of the relationship between artist and model. Wikipedia: Lucian Freud
