Lilacs

We had an exceptionally warm April this year and lilac bushes burst into flower almost three weeks earlier than usually. Felt sort of strange…

But as lilacs are great flowers for any kind of photography, and still life is no exception, I used some of the flowers for playing with still life compositions. Here is one of them, in several editing results.

It seemed to me I could get an interesting result when flipping the photo horizontally and adding it to some other version, so I created one more edit…

…flipped two of them, and here is what came out of the experiment!

What have I done? Now I cannot see lilacs anymore, just the character itself, ha-ha! A giant bear, knight, monarch, masquerade figure, radiating posture and expression of gravity and importance… or perhaps sadness and boredom? My imagination ran wild.

What about yours?
