Single...an individual thing rather than part of a group.
Most things I photograph are of one solitary subject such as a bird, wildlife, or flower. My mind wants to simplify the image yet also enjoy the connection of the lone subject with its surroundings.
"When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the Universe."
