Reflected Cloudscape

Is this seen through something sort of transparent, is it a reflection, or what? In any case it's interesting and evocative, vegetation like mountains under an equivocal sky. Partial yet satisfying, and I like it just fine.

Everyday moment, okay, but shown as luminous and a bit mysterious. The lightness of being, the unnameable. Happy to be here.

The True Center of the Universe

It's already hot in Arizona, but OMG! Can the sun be that huge? In what wavelength was this taken? I like the sci-fi, over-the-top-ness of this image. This desert, so beautiful and distinctive, can certainly seem other-worldly to some, but fortunate are those who call it home. Unique and mesmerizing.

Engaging portrait of these young men who look so much alike. They seem to be sweet and genuine. It's an unusual pose, but it works completely. It's just so heartening to see people like them.

Black & White Rose

Fine study of a rose boldly washed of its tell-tale color. We're left with a more interesting paean to structure, shape, tone and texture. Usually it's the heady aroma that draws one in, but here the visual whirlpool does the same. Revelatory.

Complicated

Great aerial view of what seems to be, though of course it isn't, a mechanical free for all. It's a landscape and geology of its own. The contrast of light and dark is excellent, as is the depiction of wear and tear. I'd hate to be a bug lost in there.

A fine example of the beauty and infinite variety of tree bark.

Girl With Phone
by GinaRothfels

Comment:
Fine portrait of this young woman in a moment of thought. Is she about to make a call or has she just finished one? It's a provocative point of mystery, allowing for flights of fancy. She's settled into her environment, but is dramatically poised. It's well-composed. The flurry of lights introduces an unexpected touch of whimsy. The strong sepia tone is a good choice.

Through The Window

By now, one's face is but a palimpsest of that long journey. I'll speculate he's a sensitive man. He seems to be both looking outward and inward. This portrait is so successful because it appears to show all, but also acknowledges the hidden wellspring.

Watching for the Postman

An epitome of the wonder of childhood. A little one, beautiful of course, utterly in the moment. And the hand (don't know if girl or boy) is a joy of awkward exploration and discovery. Wonderful portrait.
