Leigh, this whole series is excellent, but this picture really stands out. The waves and the sky are very painterly, but the rock (or coral?) in the foreground adds some weight and sharpness. Great work.

Love the framing, the textures, and the color. Lots of character in that old pickup!

Love the textures and the unique composition.

Your comments, please.

David, I know this is a church, but it looks like it could be a boat

as well. In any case, nice catch -- you've done a nice job with

the tones and the contrast here.

A small cafe in Sharon, Connecticut.

Boston and Maine RR bridge, looking upstream.

Greens Pond reflection.

David, the bridge no longer carries rail traffic, but it is part of the Norwottuck rail trail, which sees substantial bicycle and foot traffic now. A

personal footnote: my grandfather, who lived in

Northampton, was an engineer on the Boston & Maine

Railroad, and drove steam trains across this

bridge in the 1920s and '30s. The bridge crosses

an island in the middle of the Connecticut River,

hence the encroaching trees.

Thanks for your comments.

When I first saw this picture, it drew me in. I used to live near Hacklebarney on the Black River, and this captures it perfectly. Nice work.
