The Wading Pool

I don't know why, but this one really gave me a chuckle Jack. Well done,

Thanks, Patrick. It was the "I don't know why, but...." part of your comment that I liked the most.

Jack, I'm having a difficult time making sense out of this image. To put it simply, that's why I like it so much.

Jack, well seen and well presented. Best regards, Franz

Wow, Wow and triple Wow!! I cannot pursue a futile goal: to praise and comment on the uniqueness of your photograph, and the uniqueness of your personal photographic vision and what you are able to lend us through the use of your eyepiece, your witty eye, your obedient index finger (if that is the one pressing the obturator). Jack: All I can do at this time, as feelings overwhelm me, is to bow in respect and admiration. Thank you for sharing your very own Mr. McRitchie. DG

Hi Jack,

 

although this image is instantly recognizable as one of yours, to me it differs from many other photos that you upload in the sense that it provokes an idea of why you photographed it more than in your other work, i.e. you seem to have a message here. I can see the characteristics that most of your images have: a very balanced and thought-out composition, the precise choice of a moment that best transfers the feeling you want to induce, the play of lines, shapes and colors. But this one seems to say something about how much care is taken to make sure nothing will go wrong with the children in the wading pool. The headless woman is a conscious choice; in this case it works better when she doesn't have a face. I don't know what's in the bottle, but I guess it's some disinfectant like chlorine. Maybe my interpretation is totally diffrent from what you had in mind. It's an intriguing image. Kind regards, Vincent
