Pebbles

Pebbles
The pebbles are from Budleigh Salterton beach in Devon. Photographed indoors in natural light using some white card as a background.

The pebbles create a lovely little shadow Keith. The two middle pebbles remind me of exotic animal prints, and you have balanced them very well.....or have you? :-)) I like them slightly off centre and in mono. A very pleasing picture!

Keith Burton club has replied to Rosalyn Hilborne club
Thank you Rosa.............I'm glad you like the pebbles, I had a rough idea of what I wanted and had to search around for a while. As for balancing them,........let's just say that Blu-Tac is my friend :-))

Much appreciated as always.

A superb selection of varied rocks neatly placed to resemble a small cairn, then beautifully captured in black and white,
The background adds nice depth and the lighting as in all your indoor images is fabulous!
Wonderful work Keith!, have great weekend.

Well composed “mariola” as we call it here. How do you call it?
You are lucky I am not around, you know I am crazy about pebbles, I could break in to your place for those, LOL!

Keith Burton club has replied to Xata club
I'm not sure what "mariola" means Isabel...............but I'm pleased you like the photo.

You wouldn't have to break in Isabel...........the whole of my front garden is covered with pebbles with lots of pots containing flowers. I just throw them in there when I've finished with them :-))

Xata club has replied to Keith Burton club
Ok... can you throw the second one from the bottom as far as my place? LOL !
"Mariola" is the name we give to those manmade piles of pebbles you find a little everywhere around the world.

Keith Burton club has replied to Xata club
Tried and failed I'm afraid :-))). Thanks for explaining "Mariola", such a lovely sounding word.

Like Isabel, I also love pebbles and never can resist:-) You found some really beautiful ones and have displayed them perfectly. Mono lets you concentrate on the various patterns!

Excellent. Nice formation, both your grouping of the rocks and the formations in the rocks themselves. Love that you did it on white in black and white with strong contrast.
