That's exactly right.


Aahh, criticizing me for being overblown is a bit like criticizing me for

No way, Larry, no way. Criticized for being overblown you were not. It 
is the picture title I was talking about. Just that - no more, no less, 
just a title.


To make it clear - I did like the picture, I wasn't upset and I happen 
to know the connotation of the title...

madonna means 'my lady', as in Madonna (short form = Mona) Lisa. But a
Madonna & Child would always refer to the Blessed Virgin Mary and the Fruit
of Her Womb. However, I don't see any reason for anyone to get upset about
using the term to refer to the picture, after all mushrooms, toadstools and
assorted fungi and sporey things are also creations of the Good Lord and
deserving of his all-embracing love and the prayers of the faithful, and no
doubt the Holy Mother in her merciful wisdom intercedes for them and other
fruits of the forest floor just as she does for the descendants of
tree-dwelling apes.

I don't imagine Boris was upset about it. I interpreted his comment as
thinking the title was just a bit overblown really.

The original meaning of "my lady" is now considered "Archaic."
I don't think it ever meant "mother."

Today, it means either the Virgin Mary or the singer who claimed to be
"Like  Virgin."

Thanks.  A comment about the background prompted me to go back and have another 
look at the composition, and it turns out that I like the next photo in the 
series a lot better:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/5324039975

Though with other things in the photo attracting attention, the motherly feel 
is diminished a lot.

The name of the photo was inspired by this facebook note about it:

I'm usually not inclined toward sentimental motherly stuff, but this photo by 
Larry Colen just makes me go "Awww!"

No disrespect was meant. "Madonna and child" is a commonly used title for 
"mother and child" pictures, granted, it's usually one particular mother, but 
madonna just means mother, doesn't it?

The title doesn't bother me.  Isn't there some species of mushroom
that has a name close to Madonna?  I just Googled "madonna mushroom"
and nothing came up, so maybe I'm off-base there.  In any event,
Google "Madonna";  the first seven items have to do with the
entertainer, and only two items on the first page don't pertain to
her, those being a university and a hospital.  The second Google page
is all about the entertainer.

So, I'm not sure who's being offended by cavalier use of the word Madonna?

I think the title's fine, as it looks like the larger mushroom is
protecting the other, much like the Blessed Mother protects her
flock...

(oops, better not go there)

;-)

Seriously, a very nice photo.  Well seen, well taken.

cheers,
frank

Neat. You could also call it "growth has reached the ceiling" or
