EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Dave King captures the intricate beauty and delicate balance of nature. The image showcases a Damaged Guelder-rose leaf, adorned with vibrant green hues, contrasting against a pristine white background. Upon closer inspection, one can spot the larvae of the viburnum leaf beetle crawling on the leaf's surface. The photograph serves as a visual representation of development and growth in nature, but also highlights the destructive forces that can threaten it. The presence of these pests signifies the challenges faced by plants and their fragility in maintaining their existence. Amidst this destruction lies a sense of resilience and new life. Despite being damaged, the Guelder-rose leaf continues to exhibit its inherent beauty. It symbolizes beginnings and reminds us that even amidst adversity, there is always room for growth. The composition emphasizes simplicity through its focus on a single object directly above our viewpoint. This perspective allows us to appreciate every detail - from the tiny holes created by the beetles to the intricate patterns found within each vein of the leaf. With no people present in this studio shot, we are left solely with nature's wonders showcased before us. The water elder or guelder rose (Viburnum opulus) takes center stage alongside its pest counterpart - Pyrrhalta viburni or viburnum leaf beetle. Dave King's photograph encapsulates both scientific curiosity and artistic appreciation for botany while reminding us of our role in preserving these natural marvels for generations to come.
