yes, the mirroring is great! diagonals in both direction work great in the square.

for once I'll say your portrayal of color is realistic, since I've been to Maine (close enough). nice light, well composed.

even without hiding the strings, there is something miraculous about her levitation, or at least surprising. Surprise is a great virtue in photography.

I feel like I know that bird so well, now that I've picked him out of the leaves. I'll call him Inky.

another very satisfying transformation of photography into inkwork

it would be a good shot anyway, with depth and great contrast, but that big shoulder on the right makes it better.

I like the sharpness of this. it's like when someone cleans a room, which makes it seems like a new room.

also, well composed for the square. strong horizontal bands shifted off the dreaded thirds.

many years ago, before I found DPC, I hated blur. now I see how new realities come from it. the circle in a corner is a good way to compose a square.

A Matter of Scale

Comment:
what helps your scale connect is the yellow in the white paint echoing the yellow of landscape. works well in a square.

the implied star works well with the square frame. the star isn't real of course. the shape is imaginary, evoked by where fabric overlaps and blocks light, and it's also incomplete, cut off by the square ... except it's not cut off by the square. there is no rest of the star, we only imagine a rest of the star because it's cut off. this is how ghosts work, and the mind, and politics, and everything else.
