Transition from Stem to Flower

Wow!

Wish I had taken it - but maybe I am too staid and dull to think like it.

Thanks for the boot it has given me - I feel motivated to do something similar - emulation is the sincerest form of flattery, they say, so thanks again

Very evocative - I didn't see where you're from, but it looks like America, though the hat seems more like an edwardian English hat, so I feel kind of lost geographically.

I had a flashback to the '60's, where a track from Acker Bilk was played, with a pix of his bowler hat put on a hanger of a photo of Ilkley moor, and it just seemed like it somehow.

So, very evocative to me. I really like the subtle tones in the landscape, and it seems a well deserved Yellow - hope for more later

Gosh - what a cracker!

Beautiful green, like the slight yellow in the eyes. Makes me glad to have you as a fellow photographer - something to aim for

congratulations on your well-deserved ribbon - may you have many more!

Lovely shot - very smooth tones, excellent contrast, like the clouds.

I am sure you will be well worth following in future, as I am a bit new to all this, so best of luck for the future

OOPS!

Sorry, I hadnt read your comments. The smallness of the droplet will give such a round ball. I didn't appreciate how small it was.Just goes to show I should be more adventurous with my camera.I have a syringe - you have given me a shot in the arm to move on with my photography!

What a shame, but better luck next time!

I wonder if the drop is real - surely it can't be so perfect unless it is a glass ball, but even if it is, the idea is very nice - even the view through it is splendid.

I look forward to many more successes, and the time is right for you to have them - I have the same camera, but not such a knack for a brilliant image

Best of things for your future!

Date in BW

I like the humour in this one. They are on a date, but all they do is read books. I used to live in a book world, and dad had to shout to get me to leave off and come and get my tea when I lived at home.

Now, with digicam and computer, I am up till the wee small hours doing a similar thing.

I wondered how it would be if they were holding hands this side, but still had their noses in the books?

Tell me this is not posed - I just think it is so good. They can be on a date, and miss the important thing - each other. Sad but hope it is not a major feature of their relationship.

Very nice exposure - and the gesture is captured well. I am 'gobsmacked' as they say. I can't imagine how you got the exposure so well in what appears to be bright ligting, but must have meant a very tricky exposure

Congratulations on the whole thing - colour, lighting, right contrast, timing, and so forth.

I have noticed how much travelling you do. I didn't think Physicists were such globetrotters - how wrong I was.

Lev - I got here from your comments from another shot, and think you have great skill as a photographer. Most impressive work on this site. Do you do photography professionally? I think you should. You have a lot of Photogrphic flair, and it's lovely photographs with excellent control and the right levels in all the shots I have seen of yours

I will keep an eye on your work - I am sure I will learn a lot

I like this shot, and remember the scene from the film - I think you look more like Albert Einstein than Chaplin, but the idea is definately a good one.

All the best for your future
