Kat Borchart, Photographer, Los Angeles

Description

This macro photograph by Los Angeles photographer Kat Borchart captures a tight close up of a closed poppy bud with a fuzzy green outer calyx. Delicate pale pink petals peek through the opening at the top while thick golden droplets and a long trailing bead of honey drip down the surface. The slender, curved stem is covered in fine dark hairs and set against a smooth, dark mauve draped background. The lighting is soft and directional, highlighting the translucent quality of the honey and the varied textures of the plant.
