#DailyFlowers for you 🫶 📷 Love-in-a-mist

A high-contrast black-and-white macro photograph of a wilted flower, the ‘Love-in-a-mist’, densely covered in sparkling water droplets. In the upper third of the centre lies the actual flower, which is illuminated in a brilliant white. Protruding from its centre are dark, contrasting, curved carpels, which are bent upwards and outwards like small, claw-shaped tentacles. A network of wafer-thin plant parts, arranged in a star-shaped pattern, radiates out from this bright centre. These thread-like bracts stretch across the entire image like fine cobwebs or geometric lines. On each of these thin stems, countless perfectly round water droplets are strung together in a row, reflecting the light and appearing like tiny glass beads on a string. The background is rendered in deep black and very dark shades of grey and is completely out of focus. As a result, the bright water droplets and the plant’s geometric structures in the foreground stand out with extreme sharpness and three-dimensionality.
