Starburst dialogue (weekly Photo Challenge)

“Dialogue is an engaging conversational exchange.

When it comes to photography, dialogue can be perceived as a consensual interaction between two images.

Placed next to each other, each photograph opens up to meanings that weren’t there when viewed alone.

Each composition reveals the photographer’s specific sensitivity to certain content or visual elements.   The WordPress Weekly photo Challenge offered this compelling theme.

I chose these photographs to illustrate the uncanny similarity between a lovely flower petal and a fireworks burst; particularly in the geometric arrangement of the actual spokes of the pattern.  Both were taken in mid-August at the Polynesian Village (the first during a sunrise excursion, and the second during the “Wishes” fireworks extravaganza over the skies of the Magic Kingdom) and though obviously different, they are texturally consensual; and to this observer, both are evocative of a place where dreams come true.
