We don’t make art to show someone what something looks like. All this requires is eyes (or a lens). Art is supposed to have meaning, emotion, power, or magic. Alan & Mario "FourThirds"
Pam, i'll offer the contrary view point. I love this in B&W, I think it is a far superior post, although I do have a slight concern (again) about the lack of contrqst in the sky. I agree though /\, this is fine composition either way.
"'Life is not a journey to the grave with the
intention of arriving safely in a pretty
and well preserved body,
but rather to skid in broadside,
thoroughly used up,
totally worn out,
and loudly proclaiming,
"WOW! What a ride!"'
I hope you don't mind, but I'm going to put up a link to your FIRST upload of this photo in color.
It's a well-composed pic, but I have to tell you that I think that the color in your first upload brings out the DOF better.
My two cents' worth, for what that's worth!!
