Texture

A prolonged period of damp, cloudy weather has got me looking inwards and downwards, instead of up at the mountains and skies which I love. But I love this other thing, too.

Thanks, Jakov. I really enjoy your risk-taking, experimental? pushing-the-limits kind of work and I quite often try to do things in that style. But it almost never works for me, and I always come back to my usual documentary style.   :-\

Dave, I'm always attracted to your leaves-and-grasses images.  Simple but not really simple.  #1 and 4 are the examples here.  The last post is the same one as #1?

Really nice series Dave.  No.4 (ferns and leaves) is very special for me.

I love the first one in the series. The structural contrast
creates a vibrating tension.
You are out there. You and your camera. You can shoot or not shoot as you please. Discover the world, Your world. Show it to us. Or we might never see it.

Thanks, Akira - your observations are always very accurate. (When I looked at the thread when only Jakov had commented, image #1 was missing, so I re-posted it. Then - of course - it re-appeared.)

Thanks also to Frank and Hugh for your kind comments.
