I recognized right away that I do this — now a horizontal, now a vertical — a lot on a shoot, but I didn’t know quite why. Sure enough, though, responding to the challenge, I see an example of a landscape perspective:
followed by a close-up vertical “portrait” perspective:
Too bad, though, it leaves no particular perspective for the dozen eggs, bottle of milk, and loaf of bread I also bought at my neighborhood supermarket. Food for body and soul — bread and roses!

But I hope you also bought a bouquet !! Beautiful!
They were beautiful, true —
When I buy a bouquet, though, it’s mostly alstroemeria. Not as spectacular as roses, but they last for two weeks, making them also beautiful to the budget. 😉
Thanks so much for visiting and even more for commenting!
I love the lemons and I try to have fresh flowers beside me all the time. From my meager garden or the store.
Good for you! I think about it from time to time because beauty is so important — but then I slide into forgetting again.

So is scent!

Nourishing the soul is just as important as nourishing the body; and of course you recognize the truth of it. 🙂
You’re right, I do — although sometimes it’s a struggle to afford it!
Oh well, it pushes us to creativity, eh?
🙂
I sometimes wonder what is it about flowers which makes it so refreshing to the eyes. Very refreshing and colorful pictures..
Flowers have pretty much everything going for them, don’t you think? Color, shape, sometimes even fragrance. Thanks for the visit and the comment, bhawna!
Great post for the theme! Given me some ideas!
Thanks, Julia.
Just picked up another idea from blogger vastlycurious (see above):
she’s done reflections!!!!!!!
The aroma must waft through the air with the greatest of ease when you stroll by those babies! I am coming to realize I am no photographer. I don’t think I flip from V to P and back too often. Then again, I’ve learned from this mistake. 😉
Gor-gee-ous!
C’mon, Gemma — I reveal the real criterion for you.
A photographer takes pictures. Vertical, horizontal, upside down, whatever. When I get discouraged (daily? no, maybe just every other day) I remind myself of that. I reach for my camera or my iPhone and take something, anything. And every little once in a while, something clicks.
The Hub is always quoting Woody Allen: 95% of success in life is just showing up.
😉
As always, you’re so right! Thanks! Sometimes I am intimidated. I need to get over it. I enjoy taking pix. If they’re good (or I believe they are) I post (or admire 😉 )
Thanks again. Judith.

Lovely!
Thank you, Jen!
