My lord, Marcel Duchamp once lived in Tewksbury NJ? The things you learn on this site. :) Very nice range of tones here, and I like how the vines branch up and slowly spread through the frame.

Comment by Bruce_the_Robert:
A reaction (since you asked in the reaction club): Something about this made me feel sad, almost profoundly so. Some of it was the subject matter, something that obviously once held memories for someone, something important enough to shoot on slide, yet now gone, forever, unrecoverable, lost. The way the damage appears, especially in the film and the left slide, increased the strength of that reaction in me. The use of the plants and the drawing brought me back a bit, making me feel the slides were not so lost; why give preference to the originally captured image? Just because it had the luck of being first in time? Maybe this is how these slides should be used, not holding some out of focus image of a model on a car hood or darkness because the photographer had his finger over the lens, but interacting with life and beauty and making art. There was still something, though, that pushed me back toward sadness, and until I read the comments, I didn't realize that it was the space in the lower left corner. Compositionally this works for me, great lines and flow. But given the subject matter and its arrangement, the lower left space adds to the feeling of sadness for me. There's just something . . .

P.S. If you can't tell, I like it a lot. (edited for clarity)

This should have been in StillLife. :)
Terrific art piece. I think it probably has more impact as the actual piece than a photo. Still intriguing piece, love to see if you have of the same type of art in your back pocket.

The lure of old things - I like the off-kilter composition and the color scheme. I keep wanting to see something in the lower left corner, though. :)

I wish there was more lighting on the apple but this photo is a breath of fresh air compared to most I've seen so far.

Comment by rinac:
Cool shot. Shadows are a bit dark though. Big black voids in the trees and lake, but otherwise very good.

Don, this is really nice. I can't believe the score you received. Wait a minute, yes I can, these are DPC voters. Excellent color and compositon.
