This. OH, sorry. Yeah, Lynne, I see it NOW. And I still want some of what you're taking, but the question is, "will you share?"

Em . . . . . . . . "homey"?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Twug, now TELL me you don't see a turtle on its back, just TELL me this.

LMAO, i was wondering the same thing!!!

why, thank YOU, motts! some of your photos tell a story, some of them, like this one, express beauty. ALL of them are thought provoking and deeply introspective. never mind the "rules", whenever a photograph moves people with such emotion, you may be sure that you have accomplished your ambition, and very successfully, at that! it is that aspect of your work which holds significance. it is captivating an audience. and that is what good photography is all about. and, yes, i notice the imagination and creativity behind your use of infrared and kodalith, among other things, to enhance some of your photos, indeed, the mark of a true artist, as even ansel burned parts of his photos while developing them to enhance their natural beauty. it is what separates simple snapshots from photographic masterpieces.

overall, motts, i am most impressed with your work!

I have only one burning question about this picture. Motts, did you try on the gloves?? *blushes*

Thank you for the critical comments, I always take them into consideration and look forward to reading any well founded opinion.

Heh don't worry Jeremy, that's not you...

That's OK ~Me, there is nothing wrong with a little nibble every now and then.

oh yes, and a beautiful panorama at that! i was making reference to the horizon line cutting the photograph in half, iow, running through the horizontal center of the picture. my father was a photographer, and so i was i once, years ago, so i have a very critical opinion regarding photography (actually art in general, esp. music). i was referring to the "rule of thirds". so whenever i praise motts for his beautiful work it is with a "jaundiced eye", so to speak.... my compliments aren't to be taken lightly.....

thank you, my dear twug, for pointing that out, though. i am sure that there are some who might have missed the panoramic view if it weren't for your post.

such a peaceful view of the area, it is indeed VERY picturesque! :)

A really good one...

I just love these long hallways!

Looks pretty uninviting to me...
