An Exercise in Restraint
The inspiration for this project is Bonnie's Minimalism theme for Photo Art Friday this week. As you can see, the restraint didn't last all that long. Again, I don't know what this object is but I do know it is spiky and hard to hold. My little grandson collected it at Callan Park one day when we were having a picnic - and presented it to me.

Love these photos, the effects are great.
Muito curioso, Lorik! Um abraço!
Les grandes choses nous éblouissent, les petites choses nous apprennent beaucoup plus. Encore faut-il savoir les regarder.
Amicalement.

Lori- it's a sweet gum ball! The fruit of the sweet gum tree. The fruit is made up of "2-celled, beaked capsules"; the spiky parts... "maturing in one year but persistent through the winter; 2 seeds in each capsule, each about 3/8 inch long with a short terminal wing."
Oh my - these are simply amazing, Lorik! Love the soft contrast of the second and the blue background which sets off the brown spikey thingy so beautifully!
These shots are wonderfully minimalist and I especially like the blue one
wow~!!~each one is stunning~!
i love the fourth one and think it resembles an organism that might be seen through a microscope and the second one is so graceful and soft despite the shot being of a prickly plant part which sets up a lovely contrast.
excellent minimalist work~!!!~

love this ♥
Very nice.
And, good use of a sweet gift.
here's what I love:
you can take a small thing that you don't know anything about except it was a precious offering from your grandson.
stir in an invitation from Bonnie about minimalism.
pop into the oven of your clearly active imagination.
and serve up a deLIGHTful array of fun. a feast for the minimalist eye!!!
just glorious, Lori!!!
I used to see these Sweet Gum Balls in AL when we lived there....never knew what they were until we left!
I ADORE what you've done with that spiky little gem.....bravo!
such a simple thing and you were able to get so creative with it. wonderful!
You did a fantastic job with this. Love the different edits. I think my favorites are the Blue Edit and the one right before that.
Cool edits! Love the shadow in the first ones.
I love sweet gum balls...such a pretty form. As usual, you astound me with your creativity, Lori. The last image is my fave :-)
Excellent example of minimalism. But I also love how you couldn't hold yourself back and had to jazz things up with the last image.
