A good sharp shot. Not entirely sure about the composition - including half of the body, but no legs - maybe a portrait crop would suit this better? The highlight of the shot is the face, the expression is superb.

re-visiting my faves...

this is another image that i immediately latched on to upon discovering the dpc galleries. of course, i was taken by the iamge--it is killer! but, what is more important to me is the lesson it offers in looking for potential in the world around you.

by day, this shot would barely register as a boring postcard (well, maybe a bit above--the curve leads nicely to the wave-like horizon--if the skies offered something). but instead of simply treating it like the 1000s and 1000s of others who pass this way, mark saw the potential in what the vista could offer with the proper lighting. granted, he may have gotten lucky with the skies, but, all the same, he had a vision of what he could capture, and just look at the result! stunning!

this image is a great reminder that not only should you always be looking while you are out and about, but you should also be asking yourself, "how would that or that look with a different light?" there is no limit as to what you may capture if you learn to slow down your eyes.

thanks for a great lesson!

re-visiting my faves...

this was the first of about 80 images that i grabbed as faves when i discovered the galleries. i am still blown away by the depth and quality of images found there--this is just a great example of that.

what i was looking for were examples of images that were basically flawless in the execution to the extent that i would have have the following reactions:
"wow"
"that is really cool"
"damn, i would like to try that"
"they make it look so simple"

when i was growing up, my dad taught me that the best haircut is one where nobody can tell you had a haircut. as with anything, the best work is that where you immediately appreciate the end result, and that you only notice details (and/or flaws) later. this image is one of those. expertly envisioned and captured, well worthy of emulation. and, one of these days, i'll take a crack at it ;-)
