To me, these are not quite up to your talent, Larry... and I think you
know that.
If you are trying to show us how bad the flooding is, the second one is
the only one that works for me from a photo journalistic stand point..
the third one the nocest to look at.. pretty greenery... and you can
tell about what size things are.
When I first shot them, I kind of liked the light and colors down in the
riverbed and I thought the patterns that the sand made were interesting.
I put them up on flickr and posted the link to facebook. I was
thinking of posting something as a PESO, but when I went back, I didn't
see anything of pesoable quality. Then the "faves" started showing up
on flickr, more than photos I generally like a lot more get. I seem to
be one of the worst judges of my own work, and I couldn't tell whether I
was the one off base, or the people who liked the photos.
But the light on the shots with no greenery is very flat, making the
forms less interesting.. and no scale in those to go by ... are the
rocks boudlers or pebbles?
Those are pebbles by the way. I guess there is something there about the
fractal nature of sand dunes where it's hard to tell whether they are a
few inches high or tens of meters.
Hope this is helpful..
Yes, very. At the risk of ending up in Mark's file, one of the most
helpful aspects of the PDML is letting each other know when our work is
crap.

A couple days ago, after setting up a pole to measure the depth of the
river in my back yard, I played around with my camera down in the
river bed. I'm having a hard time deciding how much I like these
photos, and why, so I'd appreciate feedback on them, both where they
succeed and fail. Thanks.
