so much can be accomplished with a good crop. This photo is made disorienting and full of energetic swooping lines. Representation of reality takes second seat to the beauty of the composition.

No title

a good example of photo-as-object and a sophisticated sort of eye candy, with complementary colors... and even a signature on the lower right, like a Japanese print.

I shall hide where she can not see me

Comment:
this is a jarring crop, strangely close, as though we accidentally stumbled upon someone who is hiding.

niche
by skewsme

Comment:
Niche photography... not meant to appeal to everyone. The bird has a niche and echoes the shape of the niche he is in.

He lives in a sky full of niches.

Beautiful textured photo, like a strip of wallpaper from Neverland... in other words the photo is itself an object.

This is what eye candy should look like.

what is it--- another example

I just finished a book about the history of science, and science pretty much begins with astronomy, because the heavenly bodies moved in orderly patterns, even though it took millennia to figure out what those patterns were. Surely some of those astronomers thought the sky was a blanket with holes in it...

Dominance

Comment:
This doesn't look like dominance to me. Then again, I don't know much about zebras. But to me it looks more like small talk.

Comment:
Yes, memories are like this, clinging to the mundane walls of everyday like giant Sadistic spiders.

and what are those....?

Eggs, my dear, eggs.......

Grazing
by chazoe

Comment:
oh dark cows feeding upon darkness, what is the milk of your efforts? and who dares to drink of it?

one night I saw cows grazing upon stars
and I thought what strange motion
will make those stars visible again?
because we tend to think like Aristotle
that heavenly bodies are fixed, permanent in motion or permanently still,
immune to the forces that pull an apple from a tree
and wither it away, but now we know,
now we know,
the stars are tears of God,
glimmering then gone.

I didn't vote because I saw this on Facebook. Welcome back, by the way. The subject couldn't be better, and the lighting is good. The only negative for me is the excessive blur on the sides. I hope that wasn't ubique's evil influence. He is a notorious vignettist.
