Fine Art Flower Photography: Creative Techniques and the Art of Observation by Tony Sweet
This book made me reconsider some of my fundamental feelings about art and photography. For example it made me consider the distinction between non-representational and abstract art. I realized that non-representational art has no counterpart in the world. Abstract art might have such a counterpart, but it is more concerned with line, form, color and other indicia as such than with the subject itself. I also realized that just because a photograph must start with something in the real world doesn't mean that it can't be abstract and concern itself with indicia rather than the subject.
If you want to get inspired, this book may be for you. The wonderful flower images on Tony's site are also inspiring. You can read the full review of this book at Nikonians
