    This was going to be cosying on up to a fellow image, for Dip-It-Thursday's oh so blue, but the thing about these empty spaces is they look kind of weird nestled up to anything else.

      You're right, but they both look great alone...I LOVE the bright purple and the negative space!

    5. sunmamma (36 months ago | reply)

      gorgeous!!!

    6. Melissa.Tse (36 months ago | reply)

      like the negative space...

      Lovely photo - beautiful colour and dof. Like the pose of the flower. Nice use of the word 'contusion' in the tag too - do you have a medical background, or are you just a lexicographer?

      You can't fill your negative space.... :-) That's just crazy talk I tell ya!
      Lovely photo (surely that counts as Indigo (no.13)) ....

      perfect simplicity.

      Love the purple off set by the negative space. Happy contusion Thursday to you too ;) Might have to unearth my blues records for this week's theme.

    12. k mart (36 months ago | reply)

      perfect...LOve the use of white space.......!!!

    13. SophieG* (36 months ago | reply)

      Amateur lexicographer, mebbe. Just a publisher and compulsive reader. I am a wordaholic. (And a flickr-meet-bound one at that...)

    14. Meshl (36 months ago | reply)

      Beautiful photo, the flower and the white background are stunning together. I liked seeing your dip attempt, too, it's always interesting to see an outtake and the second photo looks amazing too- that link didn't work for me to view large...

    15. fanjason (36 months ago | reply)

      perfect the way it is...yeah, now you have me wondering how it will look like with another half (for dip)....

    16. ladybugrock (36 months ago | reply)

      Ahh...my Daily Dose of Sophie. I feel so calm now...

    17. teresa~ (36 months ago | reply)

      Oh I love this Sophie!! Perfection on its own.

    18. <3~Kristin~<3 (36 months ago | reply)

      Gorgeous!!!! both!!!! *sigh* maybe try cozied up on opposite sides.... either way the both make me happy!!!

    19. JustCallMe_♥Bethy♥_ (36 months ago | reply)

      both are so pretty! What about one on top of the other?
      Either way they are beautiful!

    20. Leilu Dallas (36 months ago | reply)

      I prefer it by itself, and the other image is just too exquisite to share the limelight. the use of white space is just dreamy:)

    21. {{Paul - in hibernation}} (36 months ago | reply)

      no you're right, doesn't work as a Dip, unless the other side was maybe a mirror image ? That said, both of these are beautiful and this one in particular is a fave

    25. Julie Moo (36 months ago | reply)

      Stunning! Yet another example of elegance from you! Love it!

    26. *Cencula* (36 months ago | reply)

      Lol....well you pay the price for having an original thing that you can call your trademark...unique people always found it hard to fit in or combine (referring to the diptych...lol)

      wink
      :-D

    27. Mark-F (36 months ago | reply)

      Works for me, love! How could you imagine that anything that you photograph doesn't work?!

      Nice to be under you!

      Fanastic shot!

    31. vanderscheer (36 months ago | reply)

      Beautiful shot Sophie. Love your choice of DOF.

    32. suz or sooze (36 months ago | reply)

      oooo.. fabulous! ya... i think it looks best all alone. poor little thing ;) that white is just perfect.

    33. philbryanphoto (36 months ago | reply)

      Another superb shot - you' re making us look more closely at the beautiful things around ....

    34. p r i m e r (36 months ago | reply)

      I don't know how you do it... this is stunning.
      There's a white space wedndesday group?? Where have I been???? Oh yeah.. locked in prison, trying not to drop the soap. That's right.

      ..oh, did I say that out loud?
      Anyway... gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous. Love it.

    35. ZedBee | Zoë Power (36 months ago | reply)

      Beautiful simplicity! Agree it needs all that lovely white space to itself. Less is definitely more :)

    36. csmith01964 (36 months ago | reply)

      Wow! This image really stands out! Beautiful and well done!
      Congratulations with theTF Award!

    37. alibubba (36 months ago | reply)

      I'm glad you didn't dip it. It looks so perfect on its own.

    38. AmandaRaeK (36 months ago | reply)

      Beautiful color and love that negative space.

    39. robiη elizabeth (36 months ago | reply)

      unbelievable. this is definitely your style ;)

    42. CharlaneG (36 months ago | reply)

      I love negative space - beautiful

    43. Kaboomish Gem (36 months ago | reply)

      I love the light coming through this flower... I see what you mean about the negative space lokoing weird next to something though. The other picture looks like its a good one in its own right as well.

    44. {Pure} Essence ~ Gabriela (36 months ago | reply)

      wonderful splash of color! this is fantastically composed!

    45. Mark-F (36 months ago | reply)

      I'm in a Cencula Sandwich!....lol..... Wheeeeeeeeeeeee!
