More wabi-sabi

Linda's post on "Photographing (or creating) decay and other imperfections" prompted me to post a wabi-sabi image I took back in September. A tulip had been sitting around my stinkio (I have a lot of such items sitting around, and my wife complains about the resulting stink) for several months, and I'd shot it several times. This one was supposed to emphasize the curve in the stem, and was shot with the blossom end furthest away from the camera and the stem bottom closest, but I think that barely comes across in the image (although the stem does get fatter further down from the blossom, revealing the perspective). So I reoriented it like this. If you examine it very closely, you can see some of the webbing plopped atop the left petal and the right one, as well as a couple of other strands.
Not much digital fancy dancing here, although there was a clamp holding the stem up, and I managed to hide it pretty well.

Thanks so much, Linda, for your lovely complimentary comment. Always a delight to interact with my fellow Hogs, but particularly delightful with the Hog from Yakima, Maine.

Your beautiful image provokes my pareidolia. I see a beautiful crimea a cross-breeding of a butterfly and a bird. Linda, you have made the wabi-sabi a masterpiece for our imagination.
Where is the dividing line between pareidolia and hallucination, both are manifested as false perceptions. Perhaps pareidolia is willful and hallucination a disease state. A concrete thinking spouse could "Backer-Act" their mate for psychological evaluation: a social investigation pursuant to Fla. Stat. ยง 61.20. Wise to be careful what you share about your interpretation of Linda's image.

Oops, sorry cbtsam, I jumped to comment and thought of Linda. She indeed stimulated the title and our thoughts of contributing to Wabi-Sab images. My apologies.... but my comments on the beauty of your image hold true.

Beautiful and beautifully done! I can almost "see" the outline of a pretty girl's face. Anyone else?
