Sunday Stills - Fade To Black

"...include the color black into either the subject or the background…"



Iris. I had fun playing with different aperture settings with this shot. I think this one has just the right amount of toe blur. When her front feet were less blurry the photo was too busy. When they were more blurry it kind of lost interest.



In honor of Ed's last Sunday Stills challenge, I thought I'd try for a sunset silhouette...and ended up with a power line shot. That was one of the most memorable challenges for me because after Ed pointed out how many times power lines spoil shots, I now see them everywhere!



Blossom's white and her cot is navy blue...but using the Tadaa app on my iPhone, I've faded her into black ;-).



Those eyelashes.

For more Sunday Stills...
