Tree, shadows

Beautiful. In some thread you recently said something about your history of scientific training (sorry for the paraphrasing, or if I blundered completely). Many of your photos hint at that for me, with the regularlity of patterns offset by something inherently random and unique, like the trunk and branches against the wall here, or the interesting shapes at bottom framed by the brown swath from which the natural shapes ascend. Also your formal cropping choices bring this home for me, here, as well as in your recent free study entry. There's a real beauty hinted at in your understanding of patterns both regular and natural. Nice work.

I really love the regularity of the composition (all the lines and geometry) offset by the beautiful shingling above and the unique drapes, and of course the central human figure. I agree that it has a charming European quality, and is lovely to look at for a while.

GREAT shot. I sat and stared at this for a while. It has such an old German feel to it. Maybe it's the architecture. Congrats on a nice score.

I really like this one as it tells a story, and it also has some wonderful lines and textures in the building.....

Well, I didn't even notice that was a camera in her hands. :) Love the colors and her thoughtful pose. Looks like you were pretty close to her level at least. :)

Hey Deb,

Isaw this shot earlier. I think it's low key in principle, but I almost feel that you had a little too much fill light to pull off low key to the satisfaction of the picky (mostly uninformed) DPC voter.

Lovely shot. I love the colors.

Hi,

I like the entry, I love the lighting and the composition. I personally think you got a bit ripped off from people not thinking that it is low key. I think it is quite lovely.
