Outstanding in their field

[Marie Hass]

What appealed to me about this scene is the play of round balls and straight lines of grass.

I was not sure how it would best be portrayed, so the challenge was to bring out the graphic elements of the picture.

Please c&c.

Well-spotted! As you say, a nice combination of straight stems and round seed-heads.

I really like the way you've captured this Marie, great image.

[Shadowman]

Nice effect.

Hi Marie. I like this. I like how it draws my eye to the center flowers, and then leads me to the upper right... The same way the light seems to flow.

Very nice image Marie and B&W works very well

[Tom Barry]

This works for me. It was a very good idea, well carried out.

[Downrigger]

I agree with all of the above: well seen, thoughtfully, creatively, and successfully managed, Marie.

JohnR,

This was one of those images that you walk by, then turn and walk by a few more times just to see what attracts you to a scene.

Dear Matt and John,

When I brought up the raw file, I was more intrigued with how the white flowed across the image in a such a fluid line. Kodiak showed me how to achieve what I wanted without overprocessing the image.

Thanks, Kim!

As soon as I saw the river flow of dandilions down the bank, I knew I wanted to try to capture it.

Hi, Binnur!

B&W really helped to define the graphic component, didn't it?

Thanks for looking and commenting!

Nicely done!

Dear Grahame,

Agreed on printing. I thought a metallic paper would be cool.

Very good eye, great PP.

[Marie Hass]

Tom and Mark,

I thank you. Sometimes I agonize over the question of will it work....or not? Will others see what I see?

Thanks for looking and commenting.
