Going To California (Led Zeppelin IV)

I don't know the song at all so I cannot really understand how the two go together. Just looking at it from a photography perspective, what really cracks me up is how K looks like he is really digging his music. Got that good musician sneer on. hehe I can't believe he sat on the snow like that for you. So funny!

What happens for me, when I look at this photo, is that my attention is divided between the foreground and the background. I see an almost pretty painterly effect in the background and then the foreground seems somewhat unnatural to me. But it's cool tho because it looks like melting butter or carmel. I think it would have scored higher if the voter can tell what you really want the focal point of the picture to be.

I did not vote in this challenge and I am not familiar with a lot of Led Zepplin stuff. But I did want to say that I bet it would have scored higher if you had a shoehorn tucked in there somewhere :D hehe

I do appreciate the feedback as it always helps to hear what others see ;)

I looked at this description: Take a picture of a colored subject or subjects on the same color background and went with the thought of the subject and background must match as closely as possible. And I think I achieved that. I guess it would be interesting to see how this would have done WITHOUT the beads. Live and learn. :)

Thanks for the honest feedback!

lol, I just sent an email. Not only was it a 6+ photo but it's also your new personal best! Look at you! That is awesome. I love the beautiful golds and browns in this. I see that you are able to combine your painting skills with photography now. Keep it up and who knows down what path this will lead you :)

The Color of Love

I was wondering if this was yours. You have this magic touch with capturing animals. I cannot quite find a way to describe it. I love this soft and gentle moment. There is a pinkish hue on mine but hey, maybe it quite fits that love theme you have here :)

Oh my goodness she does look like a little princess. Such a sweet face. I love that her head is tilted to one side. I just want to give her a big hug cuz she's so cute. She is very lucky that you found her and brought her home. Kudos! (oops - congrats on the top 10 too! yay!)
