in bloom + in depth

Carlton, 2nd January 2011

I like this photo.
The flower is sharply in focus and each petal is distinct, yet the background looks dreamy - blurred and slightly out of focus, colours washed out with the glow of the late afternoon sun. The trio are deep in discussion, oblivious.

What do you see when you look up? 

A clear, glass ceiling reinforced with steel.

Light streams through and is reflected off windows from the tower above as it stretches out into the sky, beyond your reach.
