This image shows a close-up of a plant with large, jagged leaves. The leaves are dark and textured, almost like lace, with lighter spots. The stems are thin and twisty, holding the leaves up against a plain background. The artist used shading to make the leaves look three-dimensional. The dark and light areas make the edges pop. Look up Blossfeldt, Karl to see more of his plant photography.
