I never thought about why no one was using any of the canoes! There weren't many people at the resort. Probably just before the busy season. I was there in spring when the columbines were blooming. Regarding the overall coloring of the scene, I agree it is a little odd, and I attribute that to having taken the shot when the sun was behind some thicker clouds than you see. The hotel was in the shadow of the clouds, and so it has the blue tone rather than sunny. The orange color of the canoes was already a strange shade of orange almost as if they needed a fresh coat of paint. |

This is a wonderful near-far composition that I never thought of. I wonder how often this kind of scene pops into view or if the safari driver did it on purpose. I remember years ago when that lens came out and a camera club friend of mine got one. So versatile for near/far shots. But even then it was too heavy for my hands, which I didn't even realize until then weren't as strong as the average person. I agree with you that Silver FX does a wonderful job with black and white. I also remember when that came out. I loved it. I'm showing my age...with last century items! And I marvel at how well they still work in today's photo environment. |

I feel a sense of mystery. This could be the cover of a mystery book about a crime committed in a spooky, desolate place by an intruder who climbed up the sharp ladder into a furnace room. The ladder area is the lightest area of the photo and was what I noticed first. I guess that's why my story started there! All those mysterious shapes in the darkened room add to the intrigue. I keep wondering what each of them is for. |

You went to amazing lengths to tell the story. It worked! I felt that odd sense of doom when I saw your image. I remember seeing that treacherous terrain in person and thinking it to be impossible to walk on and through. I like the way the white of the distant mountains is centered above the skull and keeps me concentrating on the death concept. |

Here are my comments for Lisa this month. I like the feeling of a person being in the landscape. I feel as if we are both looking out and enjoying the scenery together. You definitely accomplished your stated purpose with your composition. I think your shots were taken at regular eye level. I suggest experimenting with shooting with the camera lower than your eyes, even down to almost ground level. You could also get much closer to him and make him loom large in the foreground. Using a wide angle lens with these other views can add a different yet interesting look. |

Since it is my fault for not posting Lisa's photos by the 9th of the month, I am putting her NEAR AND FAR images and description right here so you can comment. Lisa wrote:
"HKING THE HIGH PEAKS"
This is one of many images that I captured last fall when hiking with my son in the High Peaks region in Keene Valley, New York. Using my son as the primary subject in the foreground, the background was intended to provide context while portraying the scope, scale, and beauty of the high peaks region. This is one of my favorites out of the group. I have included two other images taken in different spots with a different perspective. |
