Delicate: Weekly Photography Challenge
This week your challenge is to take a new photo and to share it with us on the them of ‘Delicate‘.
Feel free to interpret the theme in any way that you wish. You could:
- photograph a single delicate flower
- photograph a newborn baby
- photograph a delicacy (food)
- photograph a person who is small and delicate
Really it is up to you! The more you look the more you’ll find small, intricate, delicate things around you!
Once you’ve taken your ‘Delicate’ image upload it to your favourite photo sharing site and either share a link to it or – embed it in the comments using the our new tool to do so.
If you tag your photos on Flickr, Instagram, Twitter or other sites with Tagging tag them as #DPSDELICATE to help others find them. Linking back to this page might also help others know what you’re doing so that they can share in the fun.
Also – don’t forget to check out some of the images posted in our last challenge – Lines challenge where there were some great images submitted.

Ah, this is a very timely challenge. I have been refining my water drop techniques for the last couple of weeks. I’ve still got a lot to go, but making progress. Sunday afternoon will be spent working on this some more.

Today I learnt how important it is to have the laptop screen at the right angle. If at the wrong angle, the delicate components of the image are lost. I nearly missed these.

I took this one just the other day at a spring-fed creek in Austin, TX. The combination of turtle face, water, and light seems quite delicate to me.

I don’t know what these fluffy things hanging from trees are called, but they’ve been catching my attention every time I visit the Bellingrath Gardens, and I could never get a good picture of them — I wanted them backlit, I guess, but the shots got incorrectly exposed… This time I kept in mind the topic of delicate, and finally was able to take a shot:
