Things were getting a bit quiet here, so sorry, but I'm going to bore you with more textures...some of you have already seen and commented on this, thanks...It is amazing what you can see to photograph just on a short walk...I'm not saying these images are good, just interesting to me...Link to the larger pic, if anyone is interested...

Funny coincidence with 2D here : ) I really like the way you did this, especially the post, taking time to see it in different ways, learning to look comes before learning to see, not taking things for granted.

Excellent catches, Cameron! There are a lot of folks who think they need to travel to exotic places in order to capture exotic photos, when really, we are each surrounded by the exotic at all times. It's just a matter of looking for it and being willing to see it. "Oh gravel, how ordinary"...lol, but your image says otherwise! And yes, this is a great tie-in with the February Discussion in 2D Graphics - "taking time to see" - and all the photo-bugs are welcome to stop by and add an opinion or thought. :)

As I've just typed in the Photo Gallery, this is a beautiful work with very appealing choices and textures...
To see this work in larger format is a pleasure for the clarity of the textures, and details of the compositions..!

Now, isn't framing a choice is very important, and often magical..?!
Has anyone of you read "The Real Frank Zappa Book"..?
...Esp. the 8th chapter named "All About Music"..?
...Esp. "The Frame", which is the 2nd subtitle of this chapter..?

Yeah, I like the post from above - really nice angle! (",)

Thanks people, and I apoligise in advance if I mistype, misspell or otherewise have (more than usual) weird posts in the forum...like typing in *"ONO %!%# i'VE turned into an EleCtrOnicAAArdvark!" or something freaky like that; you see I've started on night shift, and it tends to twist my tiny brain a bit after a while! (LOL)
Doruk, being a Zappa fan, I have that book! I feel I should quote Frank on framing, as he says some salient and funny things here on 'framing' and art in general:

The most important thing in art is The Frame. For painting literally; for other arts: figuratively-because, without this humble appliance, you can't know where The Art stops and The Real World begins.
You have to put a 'box' around it because otherwise, what is that shit on the wall?
If John Cage, for instance, says, "I'm putting a contact microphone on my throat, and I'm going to drink carrot juice, and that's my composition," then his gurgling qualifies as his composition because he put a frame around it and said so. "Take it or leave it, I now will this to be music." After that it's a matter of taste. Without the frame-as-announced, it's just a guy swallowing carrot juice.
