Description
Captured 9/6/13, very early morning, somewhere around the neighborhood.
Entirely ZOOM worthy.
Incidentally, I haven't received any ebots over the past week listing the postings of others, only the ones commenting on my work. So don't think that I've been ignoring you, folks. To quote from the movie, Cool Hand Luke, "what we have here is a failure to communicate."
Arrivederci.

Gorgeous composition , Harry. I really like it :) Incidentally, I had the lack of ebot notices as well. They're back now.

Beautiful shot! Wonderful light and composition. It reminds me of a fan being opened. On the left it is stretched out, but gradually becomes more and more compressed as the eye travels to the right. I love the lighting; the edges are beautifully highlighted making strong lines and interesting ripples, and the pattern of the shadow is both simple and strong. I like the bluer tones on the right and the glitter of blue in the highlights of the edges in shadow. Excellent capture. A beautiful play of light and patterns.

I really love the lines in this; besides that, you have the shadows overlaid from the other fronds, which is a bonus...What a beautiful capture!!!

(Harry, I've had a major problem logging on and off, and I saw that a comment went up under a foreign sitename. I'll rectify it with the administrators, but I'm now under my name, and here's the comment verbatim, as luckily I copied it before posting it as the problems I was having suggested that I should. Nothing's missing...) I'm glad to see that, of the 13 comments above, half saw this full-size. You've probably had similar reports, but I know several artists on RR who say they often get 2 or 3 full size views at most---despite pleading, cajoling, and finding every trick in the world to get their viewers to zoom. Just to say you're not alone in the battle to get viewers to zoom...In any case, this is beautiful at small size; but full, we can see the many details of your vision; and as Mies van der Rohe supposedly said, "god is in the details"... Unlike some of your other frond shots, this one's one big plant and nothing else. I'd not have thought a shot of one fan could make such a full, beautiful shot, but you made one here. But this is really two cycad fronds, because we're seeing the other via its shadow from behind, or from in front of the 'star' plant. The shadow, in any case, is all the shot needs to make this a community rather than a solo. And as always, your sense of light and shade as well as detail---witness the harsh striated edges along each frond---shines. Fine camera work and fine postwork. And I understand more, with each viewing, what you get (and give) from series: how you commune with the same subject over and over, turning it over and over, seeing new things in it, seeing old things in a new light, creating variations on the same theme, etc. It's a growing love affair; and then you invite us into it, each step of the way. Wonderful study; and, more than that, a simple gift of love for something as small and yet beautiful as some fanned leaves. Beautiful.
