Growth Potential

The world if not necessarily a chaotic or inartistic place, it is thinking that

makes it so. Although I am particularly satisfied with my efforts at

composition (thinking about the arrangement) and being privileged with

coloration this simple scene provided, I must admit I can be delusional at

times and the appeal may be little more than a 4/4 to many. I would

appreciate any comments and critique.

Wayne,

You are the only one I know that could make a great image from this. Love the colors. Great job. Patsy

Love the diagonal line and then the blue reflecting on the seed pods and fading to black in the upper left corner also, I detect a bit of the rust color in the seed pods about half-way down the right side of the photo--makes this a really nice two-tone (+black) composition. Great job!

Thanks, Patsy and Becky. It helps to know if what I feel in an image resonates with anyone else. I think the diagonal sold me on the possible merits of this image and as you note, Becky, the coloration of the "weed" fascinated me. I know it is just nature doing its natural thing, but sometimes you sense how miraculous it is and are drawn to photograph it.

Initially I was concerned with some technical aspects but it continues to grow on me - well done!

Thanks, Tony. Would those technical aspects relate to the focus?

It was related to the focus. THe major attraction for me is the background which I find to be superb. The background is represented  by "diagonal triangles" with powder blue coloring which i find very attractive. Sorry for being so tardy on my response. I have trouble with Photonet giving me several '504 gateway errors" when i try and access the follow-ups on my comments and i run out of patience.
