Photo Hunters #1: View

Hi friends. Sister decided to enter me into a photo hunters thing this week. While tesla is doing the view of her pretty face, i'm going to be doing several different views of the same stargazer lily.


This view was after sister sprayed the flower with some water, to create the effect. She thought it would look really pretty.



The view of the inside- you can see that the "stamen" of the flower has been cut. When you have lilies, as soon as they bloom, and the stamen is present, you're supposed to cut that off, it keeps them bloomed longer. We have no idea why, its just what we were told to do. These lilies were for sister's birthday a week and a half ago. The pictures were taken last week. They're just dying now. They live MUCH longer with that cut.



another view of the flower.



Here is one view that sister manipulated slightly. We changed the lighting to let you see the flower differently.



Here is another view in sepia. No matter how many different ways you photograph the lily- it still remains beautiful. :)



I hope you enjoyed my view of the lily. :)

Isis,
Your human is a very talented and creative photographer. We really liked the sepia version but all were incredible! We hope she wins.

My name is Athapaskan Indian (an Eskimo tribe) word meaning "Ice." Marie is a middle name my mom gave me so when she is made she can say "Siku MARIE!!!"

We also wish you and your mom luck on the fundraising; we have so many less fortunate brothers and sisters.

Remember that the pollen of a lily is very dangerous to a cat.

Isis,
Does sister sell her beautiful artwork? I absolutely love the sepia version of the lily and would be interested in owning a print of it if she does. Please ask her to let me know.

Siku's mom, Susan

Isis, Tell sister that she really has a talent that is marketable. I would be interested in 9x12 size. Also, would be interested in purchasing same size of the version with water drops...if she would not be offended if I framed that one and donated it to the local Junior League charity auction to benefit Project SHARE (my friend is head of acquisitions committee and as an artist I would love to see the work of a fellow emerging talent on display. Of course, she must sign both prints!!! My gmail account is sometimes unreliable so if you contact me at studio3615@aol.com we can discuss the business details...and yes, there MUST be business details.

I am so excited.
Susan
