Job 19:26 Word Picture - Flesh fails, yet shall see God




This verse was the original one requested and

this picture is what got me to act on the request.

When I saw it laterI was taken with how

vividly and perfectly it illustrates the

verse.

That water is present in both pictures is not coincidental. I never miss an opportunity to take photos of flowers after a heavy fog or rain, the results are always quite impressive.

This is the same kind of flower- a cosmos- as the one for verse 25. Could even be the exact same

flower.



It had been my intent to do this in landscape format as the previous one was, however when looking at the photos the words of this verse worked as perfectly above and below the flower as the ones to verse 25 had worked along side it.

Should the need arise

I could do a version of it in landscape mode,

however I decided it was better to go with the

artistic "dao" than to force conformity between the

two for conformity's sake.



The monochrome

versions are below. The first looks better, the

second prints better. This is not a picture which

converts well to monochrome... far too much of the

intensity of the withered petals and faded center

is lost.






Better looking mono, using Floyd-S dithering

setting 160, then inverted.





Prints out better. Same dithering as above. This

was the first mono version I created.
