My attempt, do you think it has a chance? |

Thank you very much for your comments, Douglas. I know what you mean by the technique you describe. We worked with tracing paper.
By the way, I had only bought the vase the day before because I liked the turquoise. |

Yvonne, Thank you for your comments. Have fun lighting up with the flashlight. (Mine has the colors green, blue, red and white, by the way). |

Randy, A wonderful image that shows the contrast between old and new and tells a story at the same time. Well done!
I think your image is also effective without the new wind mill, but then the message is different. But that's just an idea.
I've mirrored it horizontally so that the eye is first drawn to the abandoned house, where there's a lot to discover, and then further up to the right. Maybe you'll like it.

Jim, When I saw your image for the first time, I was impressed by the calmness it radiates. I like these reduced, simple motifs that work on their own. In your image, the viewer doesn't know whether the background is sky or a reflection, is there even a background?
But that's not important, looking at it and losing yourself in it is what your photo offers me. It seems light and weightless at the same time.
(Turned 180 degrees, your grass floats even more.) Well done! |

Sylvia, Thank you for taking up this approach to photography and trying to translate the theme photographically. I also read something about it, but I found it difficult to really understand.
I see in your image the representation of the beauty of the ephemeral. You made a good choice with the rose. But the chosen frame also radiates beauty and transience at the same time. The warm, muted colors go well together and create inner peace instead of melancholy in the viewer.

Linda, A wonderful photo in bright blue and aquamarine colors. Interesting structures, of which the viewer does not know whether it is water, ice or a wave? That's not important either.
Abstract photography, the motif is not recognizable at first glance. Colors, shapes and structures intertwine. Well done! |

Douglas, you have really succeeded in creating this great back portrait of a well-trained man. So many muscles, well staged! I like the pose, the right arm is resting on the back of the chair, which, by the way, contrasts well with the rather soft image.
The left arm could perhaps have been bent a little, so the arm looks a little cut off to me.
I don't miss the side profile, the back is the focal point for me. Have you thought about just showing the back with the base of the neck? It might be worth a try, but it's a matter of taste.

Yvonne, Thanks for your detailed description of your idea behind the image. I have an idea of what you mean, even if I'm not biblically literate. In this case it is the red leaves that have found their place on a dead tree and continue to grow there. That is quite unusual, as you would expect to see young green leaves.
You have definitely succeeded in making the symbolism visible, the black and white conversion is ideal for this.
My first thought was to leave the actual format as it is, but the longer I look at the photos side by side, the more I like the square.

Jim, Thank you very much for your comments. I have also considered framing the image and hanging it on the wall.
The settings are the data from the camera, it's one movement and one image. As I wrote, it took a lot of attempts before I got the right movement at the right time with the right distance and filter. Then there was also a bit of luck involved. |

Sylvia, I'm glad you like the image and that I was able to give you an idea for your next one. Good question, how could I hold the flashlight? I was able to solve the problem easily, I clamped the flashlight into a napkin holder and directed the beam of light onto the lantern flowers. The blue light creates the colors and the shadows. |
