My favorite of the three. The ducks impart movement to this meditative image. Nicely composed. The fog is like quiet opening notes .

Lovely pinks and purples against the light sky. A delicate message from spring.

I was flummoxed here by a repeat of your earlier post. And I earlier had chosen the third image, so the valuable lesson is: take your own (i.e., mine) appraisals with a bunch of grains of salt. And wipe the egg off your (my) face...

As far as lighting goes I prefer this one to the other two. It's less harsh and the most sympathetic portrayal.

Figueroa Mountain Road

Enchanting view and processing, a light touch and mood. I think the green foreground and the truly lovely sky in the background dominate the mountains in the middleground. But when I look at these mountains more closely they seem to be comprised of Cezanne-like planes, which is fascinating. Enjoyable image.

Tiny Light

Nice find, tricked out in muted, harmonious colors. As one moves from top to bottom a story is being told, which says to me, "I'm hiding within, I have my reasons, don't even bother." And yet there's that tiny electric candle and that flamboyant, in contrast to the whole, red leaf on the sill, so maybe the person in this home still has some shy hopes. I hope they blossom.

This is my favorite of the four. It seems comically futuristic and peculiarly human with gawky arms and startled faces in frantic activity. I also like the red and orange background. Somehow the right hand 30% or so seems extraneous to the fine, busy, self-contained composition on the left.

This is, I believe, a much stronger image than the other. The color and detail of the petals embrace the central stamens and pistil. Enchanting. I don't understand the pixelation on the right. Is it the edge of a petal?

I agree with you on the red background. The stamens are again beautifully picked out, but I'm finding the left edge a bit murky.

Mar 11 - Reflection

What a gift reflections are to a photographer, as well as anyone who enjoys these sidelong dimensions. The light is wonderful. And the edges of the pole are amazing. As are the patterns of the drops. Doesn't need anything more. Thanks.
