thanks for looking - glad you like it. peace.

Something very different and and excellent photo, Laura. I think it's a good thing to try something different and unusual. Otherwise one tends to get in a rut. Perhaps I need to try something like this.

Thanks so much. I'm really glad you like it. I take photos like this as I'm inspired, but don't share them as often as the 'accepted' type photo. I really do enjoy emotional art, and things like this seem more like that to me - more about color, texture, composition than about what it's a picture of.

I think you could really do well at it. You have a really good eye. Have you ever done b&w for any extended period of time? I think it's really hard in nature (really have no idea how Ansel Adams did it!), but doing it can start to take one a bit away from subject matter and more towards feeling and sensation. Then of course there's shallow depths of field, low light (which can be found even in the sun by finding the small shadow areas) and focusing on hues that are great to work with.

Have you looked at my personal group 'pure art' www.ipernity.com/group/2410700 ? It's full of other people's photos here that I put in this type category. Even the in focus, straight photos are more about the emotion or the composition than the subject specifically.

there is something innately and intangibly emotive here, lovely creation
