Looking Closely

Looking closely requires us to slow down.
You cannot view something and take in all of its details, while hurrying past.

  9. I also love the background. The colors are unusual for a flower photo and makes this stand out.

  10. In photography and in life, it's important to be able to zoom in and zoom out -- both provide insights and perspectives.
