Jailbreak

Sony A700
Minolta 200mm macro
ISO 200, 1/13 @ f11

I spend a lot of time in prison so my perspective on some things may be a little warped. I thought of a jailbreak seeing this day lily pistil seemingly breaking out of the stamen bars. :rolleyes: All comments welcome. >=))>

Time things came out of recession :wink: - that is how I see it. Lovely work and very thematic, Bill. Master of Day Lilies strikes :cool:

Bill, I love the shots of things floral where one focuses on the beauty and symetry and, at the same time, has no idea what one is admiring. Beauty for beauties sake and a nice job indeed!

Hey Bill, I've looked at this shot a few times. It grows on you. Wonderful interpretation. The title is perfect. Only nit is perhaps a crop down from the top of the inner most sweep of the petal on the left. The curve as is takes me out of the picture in the corner.

Bob: Good eye and a fine suggestion. If I print this I'll definitely do so. Thanks. . . Bill

Very cool perspective, Bill, and fitting title. Hope by spending time in prison, you mean as a visitor :wink:

Kathy: For the past six years I've managed to fool them enough that they keep letting me go home. I do have enough time served that I could probably rob a convenience store or two and not get locked up. :jump:

It takes an imaginative mind to think of the title and make this comp. :toast:

Bill, I hope you are on the right side of the bars, and can appreciate your warped perspective! Lord knows, my sense of humor is bent at the least and most times WARPED. Regarding your vision for this capture - two thumbs up. Umm, I have read that here before. Excellent capture and perspective Bill. Not sure you need to get toasted, but :toast: :toast:

Cool macro Bill, and I love all the lines. One black spot in the URC on the border could be cloned, but that's it.
