New Work: Lily

I've been wanting to experiment with very grainy, sensuous forms for quite a while now. This year's Easter lily was a very patient model.

The first few pix stared out pretty rigid and minimalist. For example:

Then I played around with some more overly sensual images and tapped my inner O'Keeffe:

(with a tad of Beavis and Butthead thrown in for good measure):

Finally, I tried to go "post-Georgia" to create something more abstract. While I think these are interesting from a composition standpoint, the soft focus might have created too much tension with the tight cropping:

All in all, certainly nothing gallery-worthy (but still a fun way to spend an hour or so...)
