I love the humour of your street photographs, Mark. Hope people looking at this might as a result take a few minutes to rummage through your portfolio ... and enjoy some of the best street images on DPC.

This sucks.

Just kiddin' K; it's super duper! It is Dorothy, though.

Moth in the Window

Hope 557th place won't discourage you Caleb.
Remember this:

... when I told you not to change what you do?
Well, you have changed a bit, here and there, but not with this fabulous and absurdly underrated image. Instead of "This is a moth", which any plonker with a reasonable lens can do, you have done "What is a moth?"
It's brilliant.

679th place! Believe me, that's actually a badge of honour here. Please do more really good stuff like this before you capitulate to DPC.

Mine all are. Is that why I average 5.6 & you average 6.3?

That's terrific. Love the confidence with which you cropped it at the bottom. Less really IS more.
That does actually appear to be smoke; was there a fire or are you just joshin' with processing?

Beautiful photograph. It has that hint of the unexpected abstract that many of your best images have. Sort of a quiet sensory ambush for the unsuspecting viewer. I love that!
Interesting that there's more than one fish species in this wave; I'd have assumed it would be birds of a feather ...

I looked at all your astonishing January 15th uploads, to select a favourite for comment. It's this one. One reason I chose it is that it has 7 comments before mine, and every one is from a photographer I admire, although for different reasons. What's interesting to me is that 6 of 7 commented on what you were doing in this image, and not on what you were saying ... the process, rather than the meaning.
I liked the process, too, but I loved the meaning most. This is all about mortality. And not just the obvious chair - also the tires (discarded at various stages of their potential lifespan), the aged planks of the floor, and especially the unidirectional shaft of white light; they're all deeply suggestive of mortality. This photograph recalled my late father for me.
