Selective Service

I've been looking at works eligible to submit to some new exhibitions and this was the only detail I have of one of the works, Details should be an interesting composition in theselves as well as show the quilting style and type. This does, but the subject is more the quilting needle than the quilt surface. So, no go.
 

Up Close on Leaves

Thought you'd like to see details of the work. These go in the folder for the work and are used should an exhibition entry request a detail shot. I try to show processes, but also a well edited and well composed image. It matters that the detail shot is pleasingly composed. Top, yes; bottom, not so much.
 

Side Bar

Yesterday's task was to photograph and document a work that will be submitted to a juried show. They ask for a full image, naturally, and occasionally, a detail shot. I think the detail image should show the quilting and the array of printing techniques. But more importantly, it be a strong composition on its own.

Closeup

A reader asked for details of this last quilt, and though I'd add some here. I try to edit the shot for an interesting composition, and aim to show off both the quilting style as well as the diverse printing. If submitting to a show, I'd only be able to choose one. 
 

Detail Shot

Often a detail of the work is allowed when a piece is submitted for jurying into an exhibition. I try to make the details just as interesting compositionally as I would make the piece itself. But the main reason is to show, well, detail. Or how it was fabricated and finished. 
 

Take My Word

This is my view from one of my kitchen windows. There are at least six cardinals in this group of trees/bushes. It is a study on not seeing what is really there in the details. But I know they're there. Take my word for it.
