I do like the Sea Holly very much. It has a special look about it as "a FINE ART photograph " should look. Nothing pops out singly, but the photograph is appreciated in the whole of the content. Example! In photo No. 2: Totally the opposite! The old church, a half naked tree in early growth and over busy with nothing to hold it all together! :-( The killer that catches your eyes as soon as it opens on screen?????????? The two darkened windows upper left quadrant!! Photo opens and before you have time to begin looking at any details you crash head on visually into those two darkened windows and it's tough to get away from them to look at anything else. Basically way too busy with far too many bits and pieces all over! Now look back at the Sea Holly! And immediately you see a very interesting over all composition in a fine detail image of interest. You do stay to admire it in the whole and I imagine its a beauty photograph in any size. And in particular, in a large sized room to accommodate a 60" X 40" print, it would be smashingly beautiful with the correct framing tying it in with the surroundings ! It truly is a "PIECE OF FINE ART PHOTOGRAPHY!" Fooled you again! ;-) My general aversion to "Rocks & Ferns and non-breathing" so called "Fine Art images" is because many are nothing but a piece of exposed light sensitive material tagged with a "Fine Art" photograph moniker piece of crap! If they were tagged with something indicating " A special image created by a fine chemical technician using the photographic process in the use of liquids" then they might be appreciated more often. But really a lot of them are nothing more than some one with way too much time on their hands! Before anyone responds, :-) Please give me a few minutes while I go to the deep mountain bunkers to have my breakfast to avoid the incoming flak! :-) :-) Have a nice exposure! :-) cheers, Dr. ted :-)
