Estampes on the way

[Airy]

For the time being, Jardins sous la pluie. The photo was actually shot minutes ago in my garden (or should I say : in my late rabbit's garden - poor Wasabi passed away two months ago)

The raspberries look temptingly delicious.

Nearly nothing left, I ate most of them before the rainfall...

Nearly nothing left, I ate most of them before the rainfall...

The soul of your late rabbit might have made you do so...

[Airy]

He was fond of peonies (yes, the flowers) and blackcurrant leaves.

I am curious why the leaf and not the berry is centre focus.
btw I can almost taste that berry!

[Airy]

focus was on the water drops, to be true to the title. The berries would look dry. BTW the bottom right berry is in focus,

[Akira]

He was fond of peonies (yes, the flowers) and blackcurrant leaves.

So, you took the berries and Wasabi took the leaves.  Pretty name, by the way...

[elsa hoffmann]

I noticed the bottom berry was in focus - I think I just wanted to see more of it

Airy beautiful.

Akira it's not suprising you like the name Wasabi, a very Japanese taste, way too hot for me!

Mike, you can adjust the amount!

I like the colours, berries and the leaves and the water the overall roughness of the scene.
kind of pro naturalism anti earlwine?

[Airy]

Certainly not anti-Erlewine. I do not have his gear, nor skills, nor patience. Above snapshot took me 10' to take (there were half a dozen attempts, with slight differences in angle and focus) and a few minutes to post-process. My 'skill' was to spot the right moment (rain and dusk), the right lens, and that's it. And -  that's the common trait with Debussy - I am not trying to depict nature. His titles were excuses rather than subjects.
