Photo Blog Nine: White Balance

A porcelain lady, among poppies in a garden

.
The subject and angle in this photo makes me think of Thumbelina at rest; though, of course, Thumbelina would have arms. Although the subject in the center is the porcelain woman, I also love the in-focus poppy flower and stem from the sidelines. I used the Tungsten light white balance, which altered the composition completely from the natural orange sunlight. I think the Tungsten lighting, together with the subject being slightly blurred, helps to create a feeling of mystery and calm.
