| Classic Ursula shot! Amazing atmosphere and light, the only thing (which probably is my fault not yours), that these wonderful mini-rainbows remind me a little bit much-dreaded digital noise. Shows how our perceptions are being shaped by our experiences, I am sure a non-photographer would not have this issue, LOL. |

OK, I'm going through the Free Study submissions, purposefully finding those images I think are shot with a less conventional eye - this is one of those images! Thanks for offering something that isn't just DPC friendly eye-candy (though of course there's nothing wrong with eye-candy). I'll be picking one of these images for my Mu (most underrated) award:
Positives: Sometimes I find myself commenting on something in this comment series which will appeal beyond 'just' a niche audience - this is one of those images. Ursula - please stay with me in this comment for it might sound a bit mean to begin with! When I first looked at this image it left me a little cold - I could appreciate its beauty but it seemed to offer nothing new; it felt a little conventional. I re-examined that feeling - why did it seem conventional? Well, this genre is so well served by your work that I have in some way been conditioned to see it as normal / conventional - I need to re-examine. Its a bit like reading really - we see the letters and the words but we don't examine the shape of the letters our brain skips that part, we perceive the shape of the word, translate it and moved on before we know it. I'm stopping now, metaphorically looking at each letter - not taking the word for granted. What do I see. I see patterns of blur and sharpness, chaos and organisation, light and shade and hundreds of mini-rainbows - the micro and the macro held in equal high regard - it really is special.
Critical stuff: Just as I've said above, our familiarity with this sort of work, especially from you, can build viewer complacency - It's an image that requires some time to soak in a little. I hope people are generous enough with their time to do it justice.
Overall: It's just another Ursula image... in the same way that a painting may be just another Monet water lily. |
