Heart of the Orchid, the bird that watch over one of the most vital thing for living creature, a water drop!

I saw that at the center of my orchid wile laying down on the floor watching outside. What life can show you...when you don't expect it!

For me, this picture say that even in little things, ''Nature'' tries to protect what is most vital and nothing's more precious than water for our survival. The symbolic of the bird is quite interesting; here few adjectives for this flower and the bird within: beauty (like a Cardinal), nobility (like an Hawk), balance (like a Flamingo), wisdom (like the Owl) and watchful (like a Raven).

There's so many things we can say about the symbolic of that picture. What's yours?

Cheers!

Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken on my guest room floor, wile I was watching outside the window!

Time

It was during mid day, with a blue sky and a lot of sun...

Lighting

It was natural lightning through the window.

Equipment

I used my Canon 7D with a macro lens (100 mm/2.8 IS)

Inspiration

Inspiration of the moment...! I just looked at the flower from bottom to top and saw that ''bird'' inside! What I can say about it? Heart of the Orchid, the bird that watches over one of the most vital things for living creatures, a water drop! I saw that at the centre of my orchid while lying down on the floor watching outside. What life can show you...when you don't expect it! For me, this picture say that even in little things, ''Nature'' tries to protect what is most vital and nothing's more precious than water for our survival. The symbolic of the bird is quite interesting; here few adjectives for this flower and the bird within: beauty (like a Cardinal), nobility (like a Hawk), balance (like a Flamingo), wisdom (like the Owl) and watchful (like a Raven). There are so many things we can say about the symbolic of that picture. What's yours?

Editing

Yep! I increased a bit the contrast and saturation.

In my camera bag

I normally bring my 7D MKII with a Canon 70-200mm/2.8 IS, my 100mm/2.8 IS and one of my wide angle lens!

Feedback

Watch...and focus! We need to open our eyes for little things. Place yourself in unusual spots at different moment of the day. Try to see ''outside of the box''. Depending on the type of photography you are doing, adjust the way to think..., it's an art, it's a way to be creative ans it's a way to let your creativity flow...! No rush.... : )
