This is a re-shoot of my 1st week moss picture. This version focuses, as suggested in critique, more intently on the new moss spurting from the side cracks. Again, the choice in depth of field helps the eye to focus on a more clear focal point.

For this transformation I made three different steps of living. I drew all of theses on Adobe Photoshop. The first step is a picture of a pregnant woman. From the first stage before pregnancy to the last stage. The second picture is drawings of a plant. The picture on the second row is a picture of a seed on the ground growing to become a plant. The last row is drawings of a caterpillar and its steps of growing into a cocoon to a butterfly.
