Morning at the Tarns

A lovely subtly colored picture. I particularly like the squeezed flat feeling between sky and water, and the funneling of depth from sides to middle. All four elements, if you count the glow as fire.

Marciare Carino

Visually very interesting, full of easily seen contrast. Greys of wall and frame against neon rainbow slinky, flat wall and wood against slinky spiral web and complex frame pattern. Light and shadows.

I wish it were clearer in focus. I have the feeling that even the nearest slinkies aren't at center of focus, and me, I would have aimed for either the real slinky closest to the mirror, or the first reflected slinky. Some slinky should be crisp and clear.

Afternoon Reflections

I came to look because of the colors- such bountiful oranges and greens. I stayed, because the photograph itself is full of magical appearances, things that seem to be one thing, but are another. The dark person casting a reflection in the water, who is his- or herself only a shadow. The dark tree with its beige leaves- actually a tree's shadow surrounded by a chalkier soil. A very beautiful, rich photograph. Thank you!

And congratulations on the justly deserved blue ribbon.
