37 Oct 21 Comment It's the patterns of light and luminosity that draw me into this image. It's a unique visual interpretation of the original. The house is still alive inside it's decrepit shell.

I would leave more of bottom part of the original in the image. I'm enjoying your work.

37 Oct 21 Comment Brash and Bold! A very American meme characterized by this exciting city. Great storytelling in this image...Love it! Oct 16th
37 Oct 21 Comment Bob, I really like the dialectic you captured...the linear symmetry (rational mind) of humankind's construction versus the organic non-symmetry of nature. And technically excellent and pleasing to the eye to boot! Oct 16th
37 Oct 21 Comment Peter, I have a strong emotional reaction to this image...downright scary. I think the blown out white (top-center) adds a discordant meaning in the form of conflicting space...a promise of illumination(freedom) that is denied by the rest of the image. An exciting image to have fun with :-) Oct 16th
37 Oct 21 Comment To me, the wonder of this image is its simplicity. It is elegant and evokes a state of meditation where the noise of thought and ego are not present. Wonderful! Oct 16th
37 Oct 21 Comment From one BIF photographer to another...Outstanding!!! Oct 16th
37 Oct 21 Reply Interesting observation on the pottery. Focus and noise reduction seem to be fine in the original. I do detect some reflection from the wall on the larger pot's right side which might be the reason for a softer appearance. Thanks...another area for more learning :-) Oct 16th
37 Oct 21 Reply Thanks for your comments. Window on the left with just enough of an angle to highlight the left side of the figure/pottery. Diffuse tungsten from the top/right. The image was an exercise in the 'simplicity' practice of the reference. Since part of the exercise is to see things 'as they really are', neither the arrangement or lighting were modified from what I perceived. Only the framing and camera settings were what I contributed. While framing I considered not including the white window frame on the left, a worthy observation... I went with it in, however, as I liked the additional limiting dynamic to the space on the right it provides. Oct 15th
37 Oct 21 Reply Thanks for your comments! :-) The 'gallery' is our mantle...the 'curator' is my wife. She has a good eye. The vertical format and space above and to the right are my expression supporting the technique of 'Simplicity/Form in Space' articulated by Andy Carr and Michael Wood. The reference is 'The Practice of Contemplative Photography'. It's a fun and enlightening exploration. Oct 13th
