From Whence We Come

We came from quicksand? Tech is good, not a "grabber" though.

Rollin' Down County Road 209

Not much of big interest in this pic. I can see why you would want to keep rolling. It's much better than streets lined with housing developments though.

Nice idea, posing the arm to frame the face works for this composition.

Dirty Twisted Nail

The dirt looks like fertilizer. The nail tells a story with an unhappy ending.

Good Scratch

Now that's mixing dirt with pleasure. I like the action, the subdued color, and the subject. The dust adds seasoning as well. The fence is sort of not good, but happiness is where you find it, so it still gets a good rating.

Offer her a towel and a beer! This girl looks like she's been having a good time at the mud hole. Good use of extra large aperture for shallow depth of field. Good in B&W too. Color would reset the attention even more on the eyes and away from the dirt.

My Snake Plant's Home

These things are indestructable here in Florida. There's one big as a car in my yard.
I don't know what to say about the picture. It seems to have no story to tell. The whole frame seems busy, but not tugging my attention to any one point. I shot a lot of pics like this, and for a long time. I do get one that redeems the rest once in a while though. Keep clicking away and the magic pictures will happen someday without you even realizing it.

"Dirt" Poor...

The world is an unfair place. Good subject. The strong sunlight is a problem, but no way to control that when shooting on the run outdoors. The whole scene is necessary to complete the story.

A Dirty Canvas

Dirt Filter! I've been wanting one for Christmas! (like a polarizer, except it gives this effect)
Except for the vehicles, this looks like a pic taken in a coal mining town in the 1930's. Gritty looking place with the subdued light.

Looks a lot like my hands at work. I build and rebuild machinery for veg packing plants. It's really difficult to clean it out from under your nails if you get dirty daily like this. The thumb nail needs some under it. Good lighting, good subject, fits the challenge theme.
