I love the imagery in #1 - it's as if a part of nature is desperately trying to hold up her own against man's drive to destroy her and ourselves. The blood red leaves falling off the twisted and dying branches are symbolic of the blood that has been shed by our relentless pursuit of industrialisa...
interesting thought, but more like the leaves fighting the oncoming cold season that is inevitably approaching.......

how do you get such good weather at this time of the year... and in wales of all places ?!? :)
Now let me tell you. We have had a month of almost continual rain and gales. Yesterday morning we had a tiny window of fine weather, soon broken by more rain. I made the most of the opportunity! Last night it snowed on the tops! This morning it is raining again.

Like hanna says, perfect composition! everything's right about this - the lighting, shadows, the lines and I really like how you (I take it that's you) juxtaposed so well with/ against the symmetry of the columns.
thanks a lot for your comment! :)

still nice!

tell me you've been drinking the wine and not pouring it away after every shoot :)
Of course I did, but I didn't have a new glass of wine for every photo :-)

don't you think its funny/ sad that a robot is able to show more emotion than most men?

that's using men as a generic term for people of course... and not men as the male species ! :)
i'm agree with you. Maybe robots and men are not very different now. This is a sad thought

Now that's yummy :)

It's still a bit dark on my screen (and I think my display is on quite a bright setting compared to older monitors). I like your previous post better though - it's more unusual and interesting.

Were you (not) tempted to use the "grain" / "art" eff...
Well, the only illumination was a single candle so it was as dark as it looks.
I used some editing in PS but I avoid the most obvious effects like "paintstrokes". Mostly when I see them used it looks boring, just another photoshopeffect...besides it is a photo :-)

Interesting... did you mean it to be that dark?... and mimic a domino effect?
Hi!
It's meant to be quite dark like an old painting, but I realize it comes out very differently on different computers. Here, at home, it's just like I intended but at one computer at work it looked almost black. As for the composition, I meant for it to look a little random, like leftovers from a meal. I used to be in a mediaeval society and at the parties (banquets), still life like this could well appear spontaneously :-)
I'll post a new one today, see if you like that better...
Greetings Hanna
