Lotus Flower

Cool, I will be interested to see how this unfolds (sorry!)

So what is this new idea?

Yes, excellent idea Rhys, I am very interested. How about showing the folded and unfolded versions side by side?

P.S. and yes I did forget to send my prints even after receiving your gorgeous one; sorry, they go out next week

Thanks both,

The concept started as an idea of just shooting origami flower still life shots, but it has evolved into treating the origami objects like quasi-scientific specimens, dissecting (unfolding) them and pinning them down before photographing them.

Keith - I might try shooting a folded and unfolded version as I originally intended to print the two shots posted here as a diptych, but they don't work very well together. The folded/unfolded pair might work better than the top and side views I have tried here. No problem about the prints, I look forward to seeing them
