From Wild Art Photographer of the Year 2021
#14 Abstracts – Wildart YOUNG Category Winner – D’Artagnan Sprengel, New Zealand.
'I stepped outside into the garden as I noticed the late afternoon sun was nicely backlighting the leaves of the flax [New Zealand Flax Phormium tenax]. I chose to take the photo in portrait orientation as I knew it would work better with the long, tall leaves. I decided on a shallow enough depth of field to create a sort of soft, dreamy background but still showing the outline of the other leaves.'
