Re: PESO - Thistle
From: Bruce Dayton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I have to chuckle many times about how my wife and I perceive images differently. Many that she likes, I don't and vice versa. Same here. There have been some of my shots that she has liked and I have not. Given some time (usually months) I sometimes come around to liking a shot that I at first was ambivalent about. More frequently, I end up not liking a shot that I at first liked. Tom C.
Re: PESO - Thistle
Tom, a well articulated commentary and worthy of much thought. I suspect that deeper meanings allow us to relate to something that we otherwise, might not relate to. And, as you say, it probably encourages more effort to make the deeper meaning come out. Your assessment is very good and mirrors how I feel about it. It is always good to get other opinions.

Re: PESO - Thistle
Any anthropomorphic or philosophical meaning associated with a photo has no bearing whatsoever on the quality, good or bad of the shot. If it means somehow that you try harder, put more effort into, or are excelling because it's your passion, when you see a potential shot with some meaning, before you release the shutter, then I can understand it. To many times around here I see, IMO, lousy shots that receive praise because they 'hold some deeper meaning', when in reality they are just lousy shots. I like thistles and this shot holds some appeal. I suspect I feel the same way about it as you do Bruce.

Although I think I'd like it better without the top one being chopped off. Also,I think you do better when you see a deeper anthropomorphic philosophical meaning in nature -- from the universal to the macro -- family relationship or politics or something. ;-) Marnie

Bruce, Wonderful lighting, detail, and control of the background. I think the composition might be stronger with about 20% cropped off the left.

Thistles are such a contradiction. Quite lovely to look at, but a real PIA when the stick to one's clothing or skin - all prickly and irritating. They remind me of women . I think you've captured that contradiction here, especially with the whithering brown bud in between the other ones. As usual, technically brilliant. thanks, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson

Bruce, while I don't find any major fault with this it just doesn't do anything for me. A documentary shot of a thistle.

Re: PESO - Thistle
Bruce, Nice shot, but something about the brown bud in the middle that I don't like. The bloom on the left is good - especially against the background. The bud on the right is nice, very round feeling. The brown branch in the middle just seems out of place/distracting. Regards, Bob S.
