Porches with such an eclectic gathering of stuff are fabulous - a nuisance for the owner, a treasure for the photographer

Because of the complexity of your subject, monochrome was a good choice. Black and white simplifies and the streaking light or filter adds to the mystery.

Wow! this is a cool porch. From the thumb I thought this was a lensbaby shot but the blur on the right turns out to be shadow. +1 for the great smile to brighten the mood.

I'm actually a bit colourblind (it's quite true). Now and then it's a blessing. This can't be one of those occasions though, can it? Because if it was I wouldn't know to say so. Of course. Thank you.

You are stepping into what is for me a dangerous field. For one who has interest in how the eye works this is cataract doubled by glaucoma!
I read a fascinating book called " A World Through Blunted Sight" by Trevor Roper. It's an inquiry into the influence of defective vision on Art and Character.

Are these leaves from a Turkish oak? Feels like they talk.
