This black-and-white photograph shows a graphic and botanical image taken in Sri Lanka. The picture shows only the leaves of a plant. The leaves are depicted in black and stand out clearly against the light background. Because the colours have been omitted, the emphasis falls on the shapes and lines of the leaf. The veins and edges give a strong graphic effect, making the image look abstract but still recognisable as a natural motif.
The composition is simple, with a calm balance between light and dark. The way the leaf is portrayed makes it an example of botanical photography with a minimalist style. There is no background to distract, ensuring that all attention goes to the plant. The repetition of shapes and clean lines create an almost graphic pattern.
This picture was taken in Sri Lanka, a country with a wide variety of plants and nature. The botanical look of the image suits the tropical environment in which it was taken. The black-and-white nature gives the photo a calm and timeless feel, where nature and form come together.
