PALM TEXTURE

Very nice work, Linda. None of my pictures of palms has ever come close to this.

Great lines!!

You would think that coming back from Hawaii, I'd have pictures of

blue sky and ocean...:-)

Nice lines, texture and lighting. Nice work!

Great photo! I love the shadows and the black, it makes this photo stand out!

Lannie, Lou Ann, Steven, Conrad, Sarah....thanks all for stopping by and appreciatng!

Lovely work Linda. The shadows and lines are superb. The black background really works to highlight the symmetry of the palm. Inspired. Regards Paul...

Original composition, bice tones and light!

i like this a lot, the lights seems perfect and the horizontal shadows work brilliant with the vertical leaves! nice!

Rita, Armindo, Paul thank you for your encouragement!

Linda, how very centered you must be, I would guess your adventure has left you relaxed and full of new images, This one is so warm and sunny, better than blue skys and white sand, which we all know is just out there, this makes the mind do a bit of work getting there, and that is half the fun !*R*

Roger...thanks! I knew you would understand....:-)

I'm more of a Vincent K. Tylor kind of photographer, but that doesn't mean I can't appreciate the beauty of this. :-)

Michael, I knew when planning to go to Vincent's stomping ground, I could never compete with his work...nor would I want to. Actually, I was there to attend a photo workshop that was designed to help the participants focus on their own way of seeing....like you and your unique vision.

That's an interesting thought, Linda, the idea that we see in ways uniquely our own.

 

I always thought we internalize ways of seeing by others which we prefer, thus reenforcing our internal biases and creating a unique variation on the same theme.

I guess that's one way to look at it Michael. Actually, we may be saying the same thing....I'm pretty tired right now so it's hard to tell....-)

Was waiting for you to get tired before I pounced .. er .. commented on your uniquely Hawaiian shot .

Very original Linda!!

Linda, your way of seeing and capture this palm leave is unique. This image reminds me of a beginning place with many ways to go from like in the life.

 

Ken, how like you to wait until defenses are down...:-)

 

Roberto, Baldur, thank you. Great compliments, all.

Hi Linda,

 

I love the diagonal shadows going across the beautiful radial texture of the palm. MUCH better than beach and sky :-)

 

Best regards,

SteveR

Stephen! so good to hear from you!

Well seen...nice geometrical study. Perhaps clone out the one wayward frond in the upper left. Regards.

You need to return to this place with a new outlook and find out how your vision has changed.....find the center and you will find yourself ! ILY..... *R*
