    Cold as a grave

          2

    The cold snow-dusted, colorless and lifeless cemetery is nicely contrasted with a colorful, lively background. This is as cold as death and as warm as life.

    I like photos like this with a message--good juxtaposition.

    The bright light through the archways is distracting, particularly the blown highlight through the facing arch. Perhaps a neutral density filter would have helped? Otherwise, this is an interesting perspective.

    "The fault is not in the stars but in ourselves . . . ." Shakespeare. So I guess that's why I don't get the point of this photo. Are you implying that America is a desert? If so, why? Is triplicate significant? What are the three shadowy structures in the background? Are they wine bottles? Are they nuclear towers? What about the three weeds in the foreground? Why is one occluded? Why is there a blown highlight in the right most plant? Since it's in b&w, I assume it's meant as a mood piece. And my interpretation of this mood is nebulous and puzzling. Maybe the fault is in myself, but I just don't get it.

    Very beautiful colors. My one suggestion would be to crop some of the beach, so that the horizon does not divide the picture in half. Making the sky or beach about 1/3 of the photo would be a better composition in my opinion, but it is well worth that December cold--a winner. Regards!

    This anhinga is my favorite of your photos. The reflection in the colorful water is really beautiful. In flowers, I like are Sky Vine, Rose of Sharon (great framing in green), and your hibiscus flowers where you look at the veins on the back. And, of course, many others. In Florida you have many wonderful birds as well as flowers. Hope to see more of them in your portfolio.

  1. What an interesting duck surrounded by swirling, colorful water. You really did well to capture the eye in such dark coloring of the head. By the way, I was curious as to what kind of duck this is. I looked it up. It resembles a Northern Shoveler with its rufous flanks and white breast.

    Very nice sharp shot. Because of the back light, the bird is a little dark but its features are very clear. Doesn't look like the robins in my area (Louisiana), but it's a very attractive bird. Congratulations!

    First, let me say I have looked at the flowers in your portfolio, and you have some excellent shots. The most pleasing ones are taken from the side in carefully controlled light, not looking directly down on the flower. Now, as to this shot . . . The sasanqua seems so deeply shaded that it appears gray, not white, and the stamens are not very sharply focused. The flower is positioned all the to the bottom of your frame and even runs off the margin. Your title says it is waiting to be pollinated, but the yellow pollen is clearly visible on the petals, so it has probably been self-pollinated. Again I say, I have seen your work and know you have the skills and talent to produce much better photographs.

     

    Best wishes,
