The Age of Innocence

I don't know how serendipitous this is, but I really like the photograph. I could see this as one of those "human interest" photos in a daily paper. I do like the use of negative space. Nice capture.

Nice selection for the theme of this challenge. Nice photo regardless of the challenge - I could see this accompanying an article in almost any contemporary newspaper / magazine - it's very photo-journalistic in nature. Great capture.

Nice entry for the theme of this challenge. I like, too, how you've chosen to frame/crop the photo. Nice.

You Never Know Who's Hiding in the Shadows

Very nice capture - hope you were using a long lens. Difficult shot considering the exposure range - you did well to capture the detail in the reptile without blowing out the highlights on the surrounding rocks.

Along Came A Rainbow

Comment:
While a rainbow is not exactly serendipitous at this location, this is a nice shot of the falls. If you can, experiment with different aperture / shutter speed combinations and try with a polarizing filter, too.

Patience is a virute, and serendipity is it's brother. Nicely done.

Nice take on the theme, and Black & White was a great choice for this photo.

Nowhere, High and Dry

I love it when the viewer is practically compelled to make up a story to explain the photo. This photo does that. Technically well executed, too. Well done.

The Elements of Subject & Hope
by Brad

Comment:
Not really appealing from a subject matter perspective, but very well executed photographically. And it tells a story, I love that. I can almost envision the owners of each mailbox and hear them explaining what good news they hope the next mail delivery brings. High marks. Well done.

Third visit's the charm, I guess. I'm guessing that you left the moldy whatever out of focus on purpose to show that it's discovery was "by accident". So if that's true, then the photo tells the story correctly. I've scored it with that assumption. Technically, though, they didn't have hardcover textbooks, college ruled paper, or #2 yellow pencils in the days when penicillin was discovered - so this photo is anachonistic.
