wow.... a fan...... I took this with the hope others would see the same simple/complex idea...

As for more stars... they would distract from the subject. This works just fine... deep darknes with a touch/hope of light.

thank you!

Wow, this is definately minimal. And serene. Just a tad bit too small to keep my interest. A busy photo makes my eyes work too hard, disrupting the overall attempt at serenity. Yours, although the opposite, seems to do the same thing, it forces my eye to look for what I'm missing. Great job from the 'Great Job Baggie'!


look for what you are missing = makes you think. Thinking makes the brain wrinkle. The more wrinkles on yer brain the more info. you are storing. Liking my pic = a very wrinkly brain. I like you.

some people just have no sense of humor/zen.... I once went on a binge,,, take a pic and try to say everything with a photo what seems to show nothing... I really, really like this attempt... but I do believe many will not stop and think long enough to understand my point. You did very well... a "10" on interpretation.

Calm, yes, but unremarkable to me as a photograph - a bit too much empty space.


space = calm, calm = harmony, harmony = zen... I do believe we were not talking photo here but zen (calm/harmony) Sorry you missed the point.

The moon is a bit too small for me.

the moon is always
the size of the sky. 7

Hey look, a nail clipping on black paper!
08/01/2006 06:56:41 PM
the quiet of space is very strong in this image, unfortunaitly your subjects, are to distant and not enough of, I would have pulled in the blue of night to strengthen this Zen effect....7

Wow! Is that the moon or a fingernail clipping on a black tile floor?

Not enough here for me. The original is probably a little clearer.
07/31/2006 03:09:03 PM
Maybe too small of a subject, I can barely see the... feather?
07/31/2006 12:40:22 PM
While I think having one subject against a solid background is a good interpretation of the challenge, the subject is too small in this photo to hold my interest.
07/31/2006 08:16:44 AM
not sure what i'm seeing
07/31/2006 03:18:07 AM
??? what is this?
07/31/2006 12:23:57 AM
the moon is too far, it's blurry,and it's too dark, perhaps a lot of cropping and a better focus , and longer exposure time would have helped this shot
