Pampas grass at sunrise

Nice backlit scene. Beautiful tones.

Good to see you posting again, Leslie. Your pictures are always well observed, intelligently thought out and display your natural eye for composition, form and tone.

The sun had just risen over the far ridge on New Year's Eve. Many thanks

for any comments and suggestions!

I agree with Jack, your artistic sense is remarkable, the sunbright over a dark environment looks fantastic. Creative, and technically very well done.

I like this in black and white - ditto to what Jack said.  Sam

Leslie,  This certainly lights up the New Year.  Hope it is a good one for you.  Excellent image.  Larry

Lovely, Leslie.

Hi Leslie, very effective use of light, beautifully handled and B/W works so well. Great work. Best wishes. Sarah.

Thanks to all of you for your kind comments and encouragement--it's feedback like yours that keeps me motivated to keep getting up early!

A wonderful image that has been nicely composed. I really like the back lighting which gives me an impression of candles in the wind which are brightly lit now but with time, must eventually dim and then fade away.  When an image is able to evoke feelings like that, IMHO, it is a success. All the very best,

 

A dramatic exercise in black and white . . . The blades of grass look like white feathers against the predominant dark tones.  Flora in the background lend an atmosphere of mystery.

My best,

michael
