May Photo Submissions
The photos submitted during May were fantastic! Thanks to everyone for their time and interest. It is really inspiring to see how people capture locations I’ve been to many times in a completely different way, all conveying their own interpretation of what the location means to them. This month two photos in particular caught my eye:

Although the tufa are a popular subject, this image nails the mystery and the drama of this unique landscape, evoking a sense of solitude and the wild. I love the surreal light and layering of foreground, middle, and background. The only thing I would suggest is to remove the sticks in the foreground that distract from the unique shapes of the rocks.

This image is a perfect example of Cartier-Bresson’s Decisive Moment. We grasp the story at a glance: survival of the fittest, eat or be eaten, the struggle for life. At the same time there is some tension because we don’t know how the story ends. It’s well-composed and sharp. The foliage bordering the image adds a sense of place without distracting from the main subject.

WOW! That first photograph is absolutely amazing to me. It definitely POPS out on the monitor.
I am very envious of the photographer who composed that photograph.
Wishing you a scent-sational day!
