Portrait of a horse in his simple but honest home. Small well chosen meaningful-to-him picture of sunset on the sea. I don't now who the horse is - he might be a famous writer, artist or very wise paterfamilias, but he has gravitas. (Photographer's parents were Dorothea Lange and Yousuf Karsh).

Photography is both illusion and allusive. I love getting carried away by the latter.

Glads H&C.jpg

Comment:
Not sure of the provenance: don't members of the mob sit facing the door? Okay, so now I'll settle down and pay attention to how you photograph your glads. Back view very effective - the form of the bracts echos and coordinates with the striping on the blooms, but mostly it is the structure/pattern that this view provides that rules or should rule the picture. Your effects, being the same green, detract.

(BTW, bean, not pea. Peas about gone, beans about to begin).

I'm not crazy about it either: at 1:00 am it is my aesthetic judgment that falters, but there it is, let that be lessened for us all.

Nicely lit, stands out well against the background. (Might want to correct the spelling: Lobelia; and the 'second name' is not capitalized, except of course in DPC titles. - Do I get to be pedant for the day? Oh, and if you do correct the spelling the eyepiece might come back).

Perfect job on the conehead, proud and steady though its skirts are tattered.

Oh my God, Real ice cream. Even the big brands are no longer any good. You've got to make it yourself. Hot damn.

Agree with citymars and others about the sharpening taking us into the night sky, and oh is that not cool with a Morning Glory? I love them; this one blows me away.

Would really have to think about this. I have a really hard time putting stuff together, whatever the elements.
