Ben’s challenge this week challenges the way we see perspective, and i’ve gone wide with a 14 – 24mm lens to capture a wide horizon in the first shot. In the second it’s splitting the canvas with contrasting colours.

So nice and light photo.
Many thanks, Lena.
Beautiful image!! Is that a Flame of the Forest in the second picture? or something native to that place?
Locally it’s known as a common coral tree _ erythrina lysistemon. It’s pretty similar to a Flame tree. Good memories for children here in collecting the seeds – or the lucky bean pods 🙂
Yes, coral tree was my second guess 🙂 Similar to the flame tree. But I did not think the “flame” grew over there, I must be mistaken. 🙂
Different and enigmatic – very beautiful.
Thanks Anne Christine.
I took a deep breath at the first image, but the second blew me away.
Flattering comments, Gilly – thanks 🙂 Those Coral trees are a favourite, love their flambouyant orangey/red colour. The first shot was of salt pans -some interesting colouration there too.
Superb photos.
Thanks Cee, i appreciate your comment.
That’s a bonus when the sun shines 🙂
both are great interpretations of this challenge
Thanks for your kind comments 🙂
Absolutely great captures, Liz. A different take on the challenge, love your interpretation!
Thanks Dina; been experimenting with mimimalism 🙂
Liz, I enjoyed them both. As you mentioned, they’re minimalistic—in the best possible way.

Minimalism… THAT is a challenge in and of itself, Liz. Love the shots… Especially the first. I’m drawn to water and have a passion for cloudy days.

Love the sky / land / water horizontal planes of your wide angle shot.
