 Week 3 - Yinqi - Morning Dew - Inspiration 

The picture was taken on my way to the Ballet class in the morning at 7:30 am. The morning dew rests on the leaf like crystal balls. The rustiness of the dry leaf contrasts with the smooth surface of the dew, making the latter “floating” on the former. The glimmery sunlights, vaguely portraying the inner side of the dew, seems to be liquefied by it. At the center of the frame, one of the biggest dew upholds the sunlight and casts reflections in the shaded area on the leaf. It is interesting to observe how the dew functions as a convex lens that changes the pathway of lights. The dew, with its bluish gray color, nicely contains the warm yellow glow of the sun. The transparency of the dew and the brightness of the sunbeams complement each other and create this harmonious and inspiring picture.
