I can't tell what they are when not frozen and it doesn't really matter - they look like four creatures of the deep who've come ashore to rest a spell. Neat shot.

Comment by ubique:
One of my DPC delights is to look at some of your portfolio photographs while reflecting on the very poor comment-to-views ratio that they attract. It's not as if they are unworthy or easily dismissed ... in your portfolio are some of the most ambitious and vexing photographs to be found anywhere here.

I think you frighten the bejesus out of most people, or at least your photographs do. Look at this one: 47 views & zero comments. It's just a garden wall with luxuriant vegetation, and beyond it a fragment of a taller wall or building, with doors equally overgrown. And it's called 'Rank', which it might be assumed refers to the profuse nature of the vegetative growth.

But what if it doesn't? What if I comment on that basis (rank = profuse), when what you had in mind was something else, for example a hierarchy of plants (rank = position, station)? Or an array of plants (rank = row, line)? What if there was some foul smell present in the garden (rank = offensive, rancid)?

You see the problem? Too many traps for the unwary. Too many ways for the commentator to crash and burn. If you could just manage a few water droplets, waterfalls and insects, everyone would feel a lot more comfortable. And you'd get so many more comments, too. The same comments on every photograph of course, but your stats would be greatly enhanced nonetheless.

As for this image, I'm afraid that I think it's about the treachery of meaning. But I really have no choice now, do I?

There's a certain kind of easy style that can't be assumed, no matter how hard one (one who lacks it) tries. She has it.

German building detail - To me, may represent a architectural form of Bauhaus. Beautifully made.

Comment by PapaBob:
Cool abstract shot, you might try printing this on the metalic paper the color would really come alive. I have printed a few shots that have similar tones and that paper makes the orange tones come alive. Let me know if you try it, I would love to hear what you think.
