Comfortably Worn

Comment:
Very pleasant and warm coordinating brown colours with the sharp textures of the stitching, cream sole and upper shoe materials. The Tree of Life trademark makes this very harmonious.

Rusty Nail

Comment:
The crisscross pattern enhanced by the rust on the old nail becomes the point of interest as it contrasts so well to the pitted groove diagonals of the equally old wood - even though their colours are closely matched. Textures are warm and visually superb in this shot.

Underwater Currant

Comment:
The tiny bubble patterns on the red currants enhance this shot and provide circular microcosms of their own. Very nice.

Lights Are On, But Nobody's Home (Conch; Mollusca; natural color)

I love the repeating shapes and points of this and the orange backlight illumination which warms the shell against the black background. The light dances on the upper right curves and rims and the patterns are liquid and beautiful. Superb capture, a definite favourite.

Beautiful colours in this photograph and a superb reflection in the centre orb.

Fringes

The backlight illuminates the delicate edgings of this autumn leaf quite beautifully and brings out the holes and vein patterns. The green background sharpens focus on the subject yet it also reminds that summer was not so long ago really and that changes can come swiftly. I like the central placement which allows the stem stalk to echo and branch out like the original tree.

Eye View

Comment:
Very nice photograph of the horse in which can be seen the patterns of the shaded hairs and coat. The dark eye is crisp and the diagona shape stands out in the composition leading one to study it and perhaps muse about what this intelligent animal may be thinking. The downward comb of the left side mane is echoed by the darker forehead mane which disturbs the horizontal coat lines which adds to the interest. Black and white simplifies this and concentrates it at the same time. Superb macro.

The repeating eye circles contrast nicely with silver and speckles of the rest of this fish. The first colour noticed is the rich gold which then invites closer study of the black centre clouded over by Death. A marvellous example of the intricate design of Nature in this most beautiful creature.

Thorns

Very Sharp Photograph - I like how the individual cacti thorn clusters repeat and the duochromatic black and white colour scheme brings this into crisp focus.

Nollaig Shona Dhuit to you and all as well. Very nice how the tree and decorations are reflected in the ornament itself.
