Good painters are not burdened by details, the scourge of photography.

For a painter, what is not important (does not contribute to the

overall unity of a painting) never touches the canvas. The

photographer has the burden of excising, making often brutal decisions

to crop, mask or erase often beautiful but inharmonious elements that

the camera has so dutifully recorded. Comments and critique welcome.

Wayne,

  Wonderful creative work of art with beautiful processing.  Take care, Patsy

I agree  with your statement, attached  here. I'm a painter myself. If  you  painted  this  image  it  would  be  great, If  it  is a photograph, . . . . . . . . . . .  .

Thanks, Patsy.

Thanks, Bela.  I struggle with that same sentiment.  I wish my paintings were like this.  Interestingly, my painting and photography are beginning to inform each other.

I could see this on my wall!
