Ailsa’s travel-themed photo challenge this week is Delicate.
I wanted to come up with a Fall photo, but “Delicate” keeps suggesting Spring…
… and we do have readers in the southern hemisphere :-)

Beautiful, beeeeau-tiful shot! I love the colors, a most unusual pairing of colors. And I love the way the light is coming from the front.
LikeLike
Thanks so much!!
(Technical point: the light was actually coming from the back, through the leaves… I do like that kind of lighting, in the late afternoon. It makes everything glow. Light from the front is often more flat, although sometimes very interesting in a different way…)

Lol, I know the light was coming from the back, but I wanted to shorten my phrase, and specify from where the light was coming in for you and not for the subject. But obviously I did a poor job at it, not specifying that :)
It is a very interesting light and a little adventurous even, because it’s more difficult to work with. That’s why I liked the photo so much. I also forgot to mention that the black background creates an amazing contrast with the (not so) controversial light direction and the subject :D
