winter flowers
This close-up was my entry to 'Photo of the week' challenge by @mister-omortson — week #71 prompt was 'Flowers'. I chose to present my recent photos from the Victory Park at St.Petersburg. I did found some 'winter flowers' growing across the snow. The remnants of the soviet epoch.
In my previous post I asked if anybody can guess what it is, nobody dared to give any suggestions. Ok, I will tell you. These are decorative elements of a fountain.
location: | St.Petersburg, Russia | February 2022 | natural light |
camera/lens: | Canon 5D | Sigma 150mm | .raw-conv |
I have applied some photoshop processing to the camera .raw files.
Below is unedited version 'as camera saw it', if you are curious.
I have made several attempts to photograph this piece of architecture in the past, which is quite difficult - the fountain is large, and its individual small elements do not add up to a beautiful picture. Snow, from which individual cast-iron flowers stick out, gave a completely new vision to the picture. I really liked the result that I got (especially with the addition of a pinch of cross-processing in Photoshop).
Я предпринимал в прошлом несколько попыток сфотографировать это произведение архитектуры, что достаточно трудно - фонтан большой, и его отдельные мелкие элементы не складываются в красивую картинку. Снег, из которого торчат отдельные чугунные цветки, придал совершенно новое видение картинке. Мне очень понравился результат, который у меня получился (особенно с добавлением щепотки кросс-процессинга в фотошопе).
A musical bonus for my Russian-reading followers.
Музыкальный бонус в качестве приза для тех, кто сюда добрался: песенка про старое доброе зло. Рекомендуется для создания подходящего настроя для разглядывании содержимого поста.

Мерси!
those are some kind of steel flowers,
not exactly steel, but iron ones, yes.
wouldnt it be a creative move to throw them in for the challenge?
iron you are right!!!! very original i would say! or unexpected!!!
They leave a strange feeling. And the snow only makes it worse. Obviously not snowdrops. But they look like a stone flower. I love this contrast. Here the Eternal and the transient met.
definitely no.
