    Nail it

    The light and shapes, the slight discomfort of "body" parts...and then the discovery of a single red nail - wonderful!!

    A fun and challenging edit of a recognizable scene. Breaks my comfort zone - in a good way.

    Mesmerizing. I'm compelled to examine every inch within the frame.

    Women and Men

    I saw this scene whilst driving through a village in India. It wasn’t just the other-worldliness, which attracted me to the scene, more importantly it was the unclear connections between the women and the men. What connections or emotions link them? Positive or negative or none? It is this ambiguity, which I enjoy.

    I've never done street photography, but your photo and words help me understand the appeal and the depth of the stories you can capture.

    Otherworldly, unsettling. I'm drawn to each vignette. I must know their stories!

    The lines appear quite straight 😂 Cooperative birds = three elements that don't fit. Eye-catching!

    Light and line, late afternoon in the hall at the country house.

    Drop by any time, and pick your seat. We've used the hall for visiting with friends and family for 120 years. The patterns that light casts coming through the ornate screen doors fascinated me as a child, and still do.

    I want to visit your warm and welcoming ancestral home. It has been a joy to follow your journey - through your compelling photography - of the reclamation of its character. So much love everywhere!

    LINES

    P5100025.jpg

    The original image was really good but it did indeed feel a bit like a scene on the Titanic.
    The perspective correction with very clever and precise use of the skew correction sliders in PS or LR, is indeed an improvement.
    It allows the viewer to concentrate on the shadows and on the play of light, without wondering about, or being distracted by the odd angle of the lamp (and especially its pulling chords).
    In other words: eliminating the distraction of the awkward feeling angle, allows more focus on the main highlight here: the light and shadow playing with the geometry.

    Thanks very much, Roel.

    I wanted to show the different shades between eucalypts and pines.

    I like this very much. For composition, your low angle of view and empty sky background makes the subject stand out wonderfully. Nature is awesome and resilient.

    Mission accomplished! A bonus for me is the slope of the brighter trees + the shadows between their very straight trunks. Nicely seen and composed.

    I found this a few days ago but was already too dark. So I set out today in good light but spent too much time on other shots, so it was already tough - but I wanted to post it.
    It's part of the roots of a big old gum felled years ago for a pine plantation, and perhaps too big too move.

    Thanks Linda,
    I am guessing he lost his top in a storm quite some years back. Would have been at least 1.5 times that height. Although eucalypts drop seeds, they also have the capacity to grow new shoots from under their bark.

    Nice Brian very nice, only I personally remove that rope like young tree on the right side, but that is just a choice everyone has too made for themselves.

    Hi Minniev,

    It is remarkable to embrace all those cultural differences. In the Netherlands at the beginning of the last century, the front room (salon) with well-kept seats was reserved for highly placed persons such as the mayor and very special friends to take a seat.
    Your approach is more artistic and accessible, Like it.

    Lou
