Wild Flower

A digitally modified and enhanced photograph of a wild flower taken many years back.

Taipei - National Taiwan Democracy Memorial Hall

One of our first tour around Taipei was the National Taiwan Democracy Memorial Hall. The most impressive was not really the building. It was how guards were deployed to guard the statue of of the former president Chiang Kai-Shek.

Anyway, back to photography... I observed that many tourist took photos of the magestic building. And in the internet you will find countless similar shots of the same building with some variations of its perspective depending on where they were at the time the shot was taken.

I decided that that was pretty boring. So I focused on the beautiful blooms as the foreground and took at shot with the building as the backdrop. Well, I think I can still appreciate the beauty of the building without a somewhat common perspective taken by most photographers.

Kuala Lumpur - Palace of the Golden Horses (2009)

Lunch time... display by a single stock of rose in a wine glass standing beautifully in the centre of the round meal table. Quite a pleasant sight when there are dozens of rows of tables with a consistent display configurations.

Took a close-up shot from my table. Then realised something missing. I liked the close-up shot very much but somehow it feels dull. Before the second shot, I sprinkled some water extracted from the wine glass and immediately, the pretty rose sprang to live. Now you should understand why florist sprayed their flowers with water and the fruit guy who sprays water on their fruits. To make them look fresh and pleasant.

I proceeded to take another close-up. This time changing the color to setia. =) BEAUTIFUL!!! I LOVE IT. =)
