Ikebana Photo Art | Poetry Of Elegance Spring

2008-03-24T05:44:00.000-07:00

Spring has not came yet. But I just can't wait to put it on my desktop. Shukun20 feature these oriental based photo art on his the album Elegance of Spring . Ikebana in the hands of a true artist goes beyond the word 'sublime'. It approaches godliness, a worship of Nature and an expression of inner tranqulity. Kariyazakaisan has achieved all this in ample measure. This photograph adds to and sustantiates his labour of love. What an exquisite photograph! It is poetry by itself.

Any way, call it Ikebana....it is unique to Japan...and no other nation can imitate this ancient artform with such percise perfection as this nation. It is a learned and inherited form of art...I admire all and mostly the props theyuse to present their plants or florals is beautiful and one cant find such in other countries. Some people may says Ikebana=Zen:)

Winter Colour Photography | Sky in Tatra Mountains

2008-03-24T00:46:00.001-07:00

Can you imagine having a violete canvas all over landscapes?

Wietrzykowy, a young Poland photographer feature these scenery perfectly, an arresting and gorgeous colour of sky!

Have a look at his photos bellow:

The enchanting violet of the sky drowns almost the entire landscape with its color. The white field of snow with a small cabin - it seems to be a border line between our world and the world of the incomprehensible world of Nature.

It looks like someone plugged the mountains in and then turned on the switch...stunning capture! The sun has been captured by Wietrzykowy beautifully.

Enjoy!

2008-03-23T09:31:00.000-07:00

This magnificent waves captured really at the right time by "Uriguri", featured on his album "Tribute To the Waves. Nice shot.

Impressionistic Photo With Orton Effect

2008-03-23T05:34:00.000-07:00

This effect is named for Vancouver Island's photographer Michael Orton. It is achieved by merging a sharp, overexposed image with a second one of the same scene that is deliberately blurred. Result is impressionistic and watercolor like, a dreamscape full. Tenia115 at http://www.webshots.com/ feature this effect very well done.

Here are some of her collection on her album : Orton Effect. Enjoy!

Eagle's Eyes | Looking To The Freedom

2008-03-23T01:33:00.000-07:00

This is another stunning photo uploaded by "TheSittingBear" at www.webshots.com in the same album with : Big Sister is Watching On you . Yet this photo is also my fav because of the b&w contrast. Hey.. look at the shadow of the cage on the eagle's feathers. Is any of you know how it could be interrupted?, what a shot!

I just love to compare the both eyes (The girl's and the eagle's) :P, could you differentiates them with your words?
