They are so life like and the artist Carole A. Feuerman does a stellar job with the “natural” poses of her sculpture. She has a bunch of them spread around the South Street Seaport, but these 2 are my favorite. I would love to have an opportunity to come back to re-shoot these before and after the rain. The rain pellets would bring an effect along with the glossiness/wetness due to the aftermath (also during) of having a pouring rain.
One of the challenges taking photographs is to try to not give up your location from its associated surroundings if you want abstraction as an element or a sense of intrigued or mystery in the photo. It is rather difficult and you have to be crafty with your vantage point and not have any “clues” or reflections. I was trying to condense the subject as much as I can without sacrificing the composition. The 2 shots with the headshots, I was trying to get the shutter speed to work with me and minimized the cityscape. You can see the reflection if you analyze it as the material of the lifesaver is chromed.
I had a rough time with the 2 photo’s as you can see some “clues” of location and due to its surroundings. I gave too much away. Let me do an exercise with composition and ratio format. Here you can compare the 2 of them and you can see it changes the composition and changes the narrative……
Original below in portrait format and second photo with the ratio of the composition changed to a square size.
Never seen those. Look like giant aphids.
Just a quick drive south to Cripple Creek and then back north on SH 67 to Divide to see the Aspens. About peak at the higher elevations but another week around us.
Oh Henry, it seems like you’re right brain hemisphere needs a “nudge” so both hemisphere are working together …….this should help and been wanting to use this at the right timeYou artsy-fartsy types and your composition and narrative.
The pictures tell the same story to me - meditating swimmer with funny bathing cap on top of chrome ball.

For all you fishermen out there, saw this on Pinterest, and thought you might like! Chuck

My picked shot from this past week…….
The bird makes it remind me of

I don't know if he miscalculated or not but he was a lot closer to our place this morning when he landed. Usually stays 20 miles NW over by Prineville. It was 27F this morning at my house when I got up, so it had to be pretty nippy in that balloon.
I just crossed your area off my list of potential places to move to!! Way too early for 27f any time of day.
Yes, but by the time you've had your coffee it's in the 60's. Supposed to be 79 tomorrow. And the added benefit of the cold nights is my lawn goes dormant so I don't have to mow or water it anymore (well, maybe another week or so).
Well...and there is the element of "good sleeping weather"!!
27F is not "good sleeping weather", it is "how to turn yourself into a human popcycyle" weather!
I'm with Earl on this one. You get all nice and snug and warm under the covers, but cool air on your face. It's the getting up part that is hard.
wish my wife would let me cool the house to those kind of temps all summer long here in vegas
