Hi all,
Those are wonderful images to brighten our day.
Peter, "fire in the sky". Yours is dramatic, colorful and balanced. I love the silhouette. Thinking about it, silhouettes are one of my favorite categories of photography. Nicely done, Peter.
Dave, The lighting and contrast also add drama to your tall composition. The complimentary colors work well too in this beautiful floral.
Don, I am glad that your story had a happy ending. A similar thing happened to me when I was traveling in Europe. I was with a tour to seven countries and when running through a train station in Italy I dropped my camera . The camera would NOT work. I have no idea what was wrong but I was a 1st year (POOR) teacher and since we were travelling from country to country I could not drop it off and get it fixed. So, I was unable to take photos. The extra cash that I brought was going to be used to buy a new clock in Switzerland. I was more into clocks than camera at the time.
I was still very bummed for the rest of the trip but didn't let it ruin my trip. When I got home and turned on the camera, it worked! I have no idea why, but it did. Looking back now, I still have the clock, but no longer own the camera. IT was a RICOH.
Well, I worked on my PROUD TO BE AMERICAN but didn't come up with anything yet worth sharing. I shall have to keep working on it.
In the meantime, I will share this image that should be new to you.
I call it "Boots on the Ground". I know what that phrase signifies, but I think it also is appropriate for this composition.
Your critiques are encouraged and appreciated.
