“The Final Bloom” by Hojisan
Here is another example of how a macro shot can be taken at a close enough distance to transform what would normally be a straightforward photo into something abstract. In Hojisan’s photo, your eyes don’t focus on the entire tulip blossom but on the shape of the petal and its fine orange striations.
“As I moved my iPhone closer to the flower, it automatically turned on macro mode, and the details of the petals were brought into the fullest. A few moments later, wind came and blew the petals away. Even though the blossom was short, I still captured the highest moment of a tulip’s life, which is a gift from nature,” Hojisan said.
