It's vague. I think it was about life. Life in general. I do remember a few things said here and there. That's about it. It's happened before. I don't really know what the point was. And I repeat. Often.

----------------------------------------------------------

Grab camera and dangle it. Attack weed. No looking. No thinking. No chimping. Shoot 5. Transfer. Process. Submit. Relax and wonder why you did it.


** First one to submit. I'd call that a bonus.

-----------------------------------

Thanks for the lovely comments. I have every reason to do it again.

Is it weird that ubique wrote down what I was thinking???? (Hey you, get out of my head!) Like him and Bear_Music, I also thought those were people, gathered for sunset watching, and the group got distracted, chatting away about the meaning of life and the merits of soy chai lattes, while the one guy stood because he was the only one to notice that the evening was dying in the blossoming colors of the waning sun.

I also thought that leaf was some tiny bird perched on the side of the center branch...

This got a 7 from me. I echo Ubique's comment: I saw people lower right. I saw the "giant" plants as a monument of sorts. Lovely, allegorical image.

As I was first commenter I get to have another go, especially as you turned out to be my friend Az. I wanted to see (and so I did) the smaller plant at lower right as a circle of people seated on the ground in a discussion, under a towering evening sky. One of the people has stood and is facing away from the circle, hands in pockets, contemplating the infinite while listening with muted senses to the continuing murmured conversation behind him. The foreground plant is a yearning, a reaching for an answer, for a resolution. A quest, but as yet unfulfilled. That's as far as I got with it (I don't know the standing guy's name, for example), but it was far enough for a 10 and my top pick.

For me...the focus or my attention is more on the plant in the foreground than in the sky beyond...sorry

I simply adore this image, in spite of it not really being about the sky. The subject here is decidedly the plant. But it is stunning, and a fave.

LOVE this photo! So dreamlike and playful but at the same time you want to see more of what's in the background. Excellent work! The colors compliment each other wonderfully. One of my favorites.

Really nice abstract but this to me is a picture (however abstract) of some flowers, rather than of the sky. Therefore I will be knocking a mark or two off for my perception of a DNMC. That said, I would glady hang this on my bedroom wall.

Thank you. Sublime.
There are half a dozen very fine photographs in this challenge, and yours is my pick as the best of them.
