Description
The Unpain======================================
What is this thing I feel?
Like the opposite of pain,
The newest of my sensations,
Like a tingling to the brain,
I've heard of this in fairytales,
Nursery rhymes and dreams,
Dancing like childhood memories,
Before this difficult shade of green,
The jade is gone and the rose is here,
I hope that it will stay.
======================================
Taken in my 'home studio'
(Desk, white paper, and two generic lights)
Posted in response my journal entry:
Contextually Challenged: [link]
Diny Challenged: "Now its time for you to make things that reflects happiness. Euphoric happiness, that that. Something I've rarely (if ever) seen you do."
So this is my 'happy'...
Hope you enjoy.
======================================
Dedicated to Angi and Andrew, the two people who have helped me feel the most unpain. As well to +brazensix and * xshock , the two people I wish could feel this feeling the most.

This is beautiful, wonderful colours and I love the poetic description. Unpain... What a wonderful word, I hope they put it in the English Dictionary one of these days

I've seen so many boring floral shots, the same old... same old. Then here comes along "The Unpain" and changes that. Rarely have I ever seen a floral shot focusing upon the gorgeous design of the petals and it's even a well-taken shot at that.

I told my boyfriend that this looked like such a happy picture before even reading the comments.

Mia4 sent a link out to your gallery... and I'm so glad I followed it! It's great to see another person who is creative in making their own "home studio" I am a master now at using desk lamps, cellophane (for gels), and different bed sheets for backgrounds. hahahhaha
This shot is absolutely amazing. The depth of field is perfect, and the crop of the flower shows just enough to highlight the detail but keeps me wanting more! The light behind the petals on the upper right may be a bit too hot... the petals are merging into them... but other than that, this is simply awesome.
The choice of framing is stunning and classic as well.

Glad you stopped by and left your comment.
As far as working on the 'home studio'... I really enjoy the creative process of trying to setup a shot with only my available elements. Sheets, paper, lamps, lights, curtains, mirrors, etc. Some may call it amature, but i would call it creative and fun.
Anyway, thank-you kindly.

That's a beautiful shot. It would make me a feel like a million bucks having something so vibrant in my life.

beautiful, the flower just peeping up into the photograph, the background and borders are just perfect the way you've done it. And that flower is peeking up especially to make me smile!

Wow. So soft. I love the border, it fits the idea of "unpain" so well. And the colors are so rich! I wish I could capture that kind of rich, deep range. *envy* I love this.

So rich in beautiful colors, it is an amazing photograph!

Absolutely amazing. I love your border. You are one of my favorite deviant artists. Thank you for all the inspiration.

Mmmm, I really think you've captured the happiness you were intending to here. I think it's not necessarily pure happiness though. Because when I look at this photo, i'm not filled with happiness, I'm filled with hope. It seems to scream "life" to me and when I look at it, i'm filled with feelings of life, of development, of prosper... and it's in turn these feelings, when considered as one which brings happiness to mind.

Beautiful shot, I liked how you were not concerned with trying to capture the whole flower.

a friend of mine commented when i was taking photographs of all the dirt pain and suffering of cubans: "there is so much suffering. it is much easier to take photographs of suffering than of happy". while i did argue i can see a bit of truth there.
i think you've done a great job in capturing happy. yellow, happy, sunny. sometimes we all need that.

While I do agree that it is easier to photograph pain and sadness, I think thats mostly psychological conditioning... people tend to always look at the bad things, rather than the happy. News, photographs, dramas, life... all revolve around the negative aspects of life, the wars, the fighting, the hate, the pain.
*sighs*
"i think you've done a great job in capturing happy."
That was my intention, and I'm glad it shows through... it's nice to have a change of view.

And once again, your border makes this piece perfect..

Print!?

Many thanks!
Hmmm, I have a print account that I've never used.
Perhaps I should submit this one...
Should I keep the border for the print, or crop it?
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
YES!! Please do that..
The border definitely HAS to be on the print. Please never crop these things..
You are very welcome...

oh my god..... i am absolutely in love with this image... not just the flower and the colors. but i love how you framed it... somehow it adds so much depth to it! This is simply amazing... somehow it just seems like you've capture pure happiness.. that flower just radiates so much positive energy and you really captured it so well... i love everything about this.. it's absolutely gorgeous.... great work!!

This is awesome, I abosolutely love the colors and the position you took the petals in. You should definately make this into a print, I bet it would sell well.
๐: 0 โฉ: 0
Stunning colors
I'm quite curious how you do your framing.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
How I do my framing? Well... hard to say.
How I develop my frames depends on the image itself. They vary between 7 and 18 layers, and each frame is only used for that one image.
Wish I could give details, but there isn't any set formula.
Anyway, glad you liked

i like the melding of the background, its its chaotic blurryness, and the foreground, with its nice perspective. also the color scheme is very "natural" with the easy yellows, greens, and oranges. also the border is superb. a nicely delivered photo. great.

The foreground and background colors are beautiful. Great shot.

Oddly, I don't feel the happiness. But it is truly beautiful and think the title of Unpain is completely appropriate.
Something other than pain, not really happy, beauty and conflict in the same piece. Outstanding!

I wish this image could make you happy, but to be quite truthful... this was posted in an act of selfishness... it wasn't supposed to make you happy; it was an expression of my happiness.
Either way, glad you liked.

It's soft, sunny and yet tinted with shadow. Very nicely done. Just goes to show you don't need anything fancy to make a meaningful image.
