"Hoa Mai"

The photographer of this photograph is Vietnamese and his name is Vu Thanh. This picture is of Hoa Mai., one of the many types of Vietnamese flowers.
This image is of Hoa Mai. There is a balance of the main focus of this photograph. The hue of this photograph of Hoa Mai is seen to be coming from above, shining down on the flower. Realism is something that this picture can be described as. This is because this photograph is real. It is a picture of a real object. The texture of this picture is pure. The viewer can sense the smooth feeling that this flower has. Hoa Mai is the highlight of this picture. It is clearly seen because it is the main focus and the central topic. The tone of this picture is just perfect. There is not too much or not enough lighting on the flower.
Hoa Mai is clearly seen that this flower has bloomed. It is still in its early stages and is still pure. The middle part of the flower is interesting. It is as though something is coming out of the flower. The flower itself is interesting. Hoa Mai, the petals is “tied” all together, connecting as one, making a flower. Is there a significance to the middle part of the Hoa Mai?

...Changing My Topic To "Asian Flowers"

I was thinking about changing my topic to doing Asian flowers because it seems that a lot of people are choosing the topic of love for their concept folio. So I was thinking about choosing to do Asian flowers instead. I'm choosing this because I'm Asian and there are a lot of really beautiful flowers. There are even types of flowers that only grow around the time that Chinese New Year occurs and only stay alive for a few days which is interesting. My culture celebrates New Year's the same day(s) as the Chinese do. It is February 7th this year. The days and months in Vietnam, China, Asia areas are behind. The year of the Mouse. :) Just like mostly everyone else in the world, New Years is celebrated on the night of December 31st and until Jan. 1st. What do you think about my decision to do this?...Leave comments on my blog. :)
