Tower of Jewels Echium © 2015 Patty Hankins
I’ve recently added a new photo – Tower of Jewels Echium – to my BeautifulFlowerPictures.com website.
My new Tower of Jewels Echium photo is actually a re-edit and re-crop of a photo I took in 2009. When I first photographed the Tower of Jewels Echium I loved the combination of the red flowers and the long curly green leaves – but I just couldn’t find the photograph I wanted to present in the images I captured. For some reason, I went back to the photos this winter – and suddenly saw a square crop of the photo that I hadn’t seen before. The new crop emphasized the contrasts between not only the red and green, but also the contrast between the curves of the leaves and the white points of the flowers. This is one of those hidden gems of a photo in a photo that it just took me a while to find. 🙂
Tower of Jewels Echium is available as a matted print on my website.
