Once again a picture form your lens, which is astonishing simple and rich at the same time in its concept as well as its composition – and needless to say very well technical executed.

Thanks, Lars. Many will probably find this too simple and/or simply uninteresting... ;-)

I had to come and see who left such a nice comment on a photo, and boy am I glad I did! What an amazing portfolio you have! Your appreciation for the simple things we generally pass by in our daily lives is quite remarkable, with the photo above a typical example. Net, sky, and one broken strand. That broken strand is the beginning of a an entire story in the mind of the viewer - and a different story in each unique viewer at that. It reminds me of the story told by Hemmingway when challenged to create a story using 6 words. He came up with: "Baby shoes for sale. Never used." This image does the same thing for me. I will spend a lot of time looking over your very rich portfolio!

Thanks for your kind comment, Mark. Literature, be it prose or poetry, is such a rich source of inspiration (and stronger, too - often - than studying other's photographical work), and your reference to Hemingway is a perfect example. His succinct and lucid style focused on facts, distrustful of adjectives, yet charged with meaning, embodies a range of virtues equally valid to the photographer.

This is a very interesting photo; it's hard to make an interesting photo of a net with a background of clouds, but you did it! Nice work.
