outstanding, that works for me! thanks so much. still i would be delighted to have the opportunity to introduce you to his work, he is indeed a genius:
-
fascinating industrial abstract, a bewildering melange of lines and odd contraptions.

-
wow. very cleverly done. wonderful colors and richness. as i presume the cadillac designers intended, it appears to be flashing by-- even at rest. bravo.
-
a good ol' mockingbird. very nice capture of the feathers particularly around the neck. nice warm colors. -
it's a great, very clean abstract. there's a touch of detail in the snow that i'd like to be able to see with a tad more clarity-- though it's true that such a tweak of the curves would diminish the simplicity of it. good stark winter piece.
-
i was wondering if i should crop a bit on the left?

fascinating pic very creatively taken, i enjoy the very subtle touch of pink throughout the image. i don't disagree with the cloning, but i do observe that without the upper foot a slightly more lonely or desolate feeling emerges. there may be a slightly consoling effect by the suggestion that a group of women are tranquilly sewing together... just a thought.

gorgeous. i got to see a few along lake erie a few years back, tho certainly not this wonderfully close. i hope their numbers bounce back from the brink. -
thanks for looking and commenting folks. the sheep indeed were photographed in italy, tho nearer to the alps than tuscany. i'd been running around chasing birds but decided to sit and let them come me. i'd just seen a serin finch and a red-backed shrike when one sheep appeared and just stared at me. moments later there were two or three, then a dozen, all staring curiously at me. they gradually approached with timidity and finally they literally mobbed me like a litter of puppy dogs. a very affectionate bunch of critters.

thanks kim. i saw this rock with it's dusting of snow and said: robert bateman! i'm so influenced by the great canadian painter that i tend to look for nature's bateman-esque scenes--which one particularly can imagine on very grey days. i don't think i pulled it off, but it was fun. thanks again.
-
thanks to all you good folks. normally i shy away from leaving images this dark, so i appreciate the positive comments. cheers!

i love it. it's striking to have such soft movement above (in the blurred clouds) and such careful, studied detail below. you show rich colors, that, in the context of supposed winter, make the rust-tinged metal rungs kind-of lonely and forlorn: a tool of dog-like devotion that waits 'til summer to serve again. quiet, simple and beautiful.
-
lovely pic. the eyes are riveting and simply electric. the expression is wonderfully ambiguous, he could be anywhere emotionally from on-the-brink of glee to anger to mystified bewilderment. sharp and touching. splendid.
-
wow. i love this pic and i was anxious to comment-- seeing however that you're already blanketed in praise and adoration, i'll just move on to others of the myriad of unsung photos out there. cheers.
-
just a breath taking capture. a splendid blend of blur and beauty. okay, i give up: is it a blue-throated? -
gorgeous wide angle. gosh how i'd love to be there. cheers.
-
the central figure- hand over his eye-- is riveting and moving. around that splendid focal point swirl a number of secondary elements, alternating between captivating and cluttering. the skirt on the left could be cropped perhaps. a good honest piece of contemplative journalism: brave and compassionate, like all of birte's work. bravo!
-
roger that! it HAS been a rough winter-- i'm so sick of shoveling snow; but if my pond is ever going to re-fill i gotta say: bring it on. think spring. oh, and you've got some excellent farm and nature pics. cheers, chris in colorado. -
hey cool! descriptive and powerful documentary shot. i've got these ranch-grade fences all around where i live (why oh why are they all painted pink?!?). with the background fence, you have kind-of a wedge shaped composition that i like. the clutter of the corral beyond the pink fence tho just suggests dung and dank comfinement. one way to maybe tell the same story with greater concentration on the icicles would be to wait for some light that would make them glitter and glow-- and then get low with limited depth of field to keep the attention on the ice and how it moves interestingly perpendicular to the fence. cheers.

i like that- compositionally- the visual flow moves toward the center, revolves, and then strong lines radiate outward; it has a kind-of sunburst effect that just accentuates the farm theme. as a vegetarian myself however, seeing a live animal on my plate probably won't elicit the kind of response you were shooting for. once i got the gentle (dwarf) bovine off my salad, we would enjoy a lovely repast in the peace and empathetic sharing that could well comprise the formula for surviving the environmental crisis we collectively face. bon appetit!

thanks friends!
-
pretty and rather mysterious with it's suggestion of an eye in the center. i too enjoy seeking out these sheltered spots that don't get buried in snow. a touch of warmth with good detail and texture. -
