Weekly Photo Challenge – Lost in the Details
“Art is all in the details.”
Christian Marclay
This week we’ve been challenged to get “Lost in the Details”, which as a photographer is one of my favorite things. Often times, such as in the photos above and below, we see things that we would otherwise have missed. I’d definitely have missed this little tree frog, which was no more than a few inches in length and fit neatly inside his chosen leaf 🙂
“The details are not the details. They make the design.”
Charles Eames
Without focusing our lens on detail, we might never see the delicate lace pattern on what would otherwise have been viewed as a weed, or the intricacies of an egret’s wings as she stretches to clean them.
“Details create the big picture.”
Sanford Weill
And what about the beauty of her eggs, hidden in a nest of twigs built lovingly by the egret and her mate?
Nature creates amazing patterns on some of her smallest creatures, who in turn create patterns of their own.
“In a major matter, no details are small.”
Paul De Gondi
A grand landscape or a beautiful portrait can be a feast for the eyes. But let us remember to recognize and appreciate the little things hiding so carefully behind the big picture. To enjoy more of them, visit the other entries in this week’s challenge here.
