Likely, the meaning of it all. The good news is: she found it!Quote:

Again, simplicity is the key...
I'm beginning to see that black-and-white pics will make a big comeback. Lots of potential...
The Balloon On A Beach is absolutely lovely. I, too, liked the contrast.
The Pier -- reminds me of one we call "The Wobbly Pier" up in the North... Someday I will TRY to load a photo of this magnificent beauty.
The hut on the pier seems like just the place that I would love to check out.
Gorgeous photos, Tony! You are talented. :)
Thanks!Quote:

There are a lot of literary forums out there but most of them with very little activity. Some of them look like tombstones covered with ads of Nike and Adidas.
I am also in a German forum. It is smaller, but there is currently more activity than on Litnet.
I debate the decrease in reading literature. Certainly the production of literature is on the increase, albeit electronic.Quote:

Rothko is one of my favourite artists, and although it's rarely seen in my litnet postings, i have quite a few prints that i've shown which reference him fairly obviously.
Because i've overexposed: this photo looks like a cold and snowy place. i suppose we all like to photograph places not common to where we live.
This photo reminds me of how our northern beaches look towards the end of October ... you can see steam rise if you get up early enough.
Your photo is gorgeous! :)
Thanks. I shall google your northern beaches.Quote:

This is much more saturated, higher calories - but I still do shots like this from time to time. This type of high dynamic range of luminosity is generally not well received in contemporary photography circles. But there is a time and place for it, i think.
The dangling telephone speaks volumes. Wow! Loved that.
The Guard House photo I really loved; the house and foliage stand out against the sky. I agree with 'there is a time and place for it'. Well done, Tony. :)
I believe that you caught the jealousy right on, Tony, lol. :)
The dangling payphone receiver with the trash on the ground speaks to me of the situation of we, the modern man, if you will. I loved the black and white effect. :)
Thank KizQuote:

For what its worth i dont smoke, but marlboro red is a nice tone of red
This picture sends complete relaxation vibes.
I like the textures and the mix of colors chosen.

Black and White.
It looks like she is holding a flaming torch!
I love how you have captured innocence ... a wee tot, with his/her chubby little arm, holding onto the finger of the caregiver (be it dad, mom, whoever..)
Were it color, you'd have lost the effect. Black and White totally worked.
Loved it, Tony. :)
