Therein lies the difference between you and me.
My photos have a story to tell. Those in tune with my awareness (both
of them it seems sometimes) could recite the story in the picture
without being prompted. Quintessentially summer on an Australian bush
beach.
I think natural features to remind us that life is a (re)cycle of
birth and death whilst showing the beauty of the in between time we
live in, is entirely appropriate to the story this picture tells.
My theory about pictures with stories to tell, creating motivation and
emotion in viewers is confirmed every time someone buys one of my
pictures.
If I were to alter my pictures every time someone passed a comment
like yours Doug, I'd have no original images. It reminds me of the guy
who carefully inspected all 40 of the canvas prints on exhibition at
the opening of my new gallery. His comment? Why couldn't you have done
it properly and put them under glass with nice picture frames? LOL.

The missus saw it over my shoulder - she had the same comment.

Frangipani amongst grass is an Australian bush beach scene?
The missus actually said it looks fake cos frangipani's
don't grow like that. As for me - I wouldn't know - it
looked like a nice photo, but that dead leaf just jumped out
at me and drew my eye.

Bloody dry. We see on the news every night that there are
floods all around us, but we're missing out every time.
While the rest of QLD drowns, we've had enough to add about
1% to our dams. We're looking at running out by the end of
the year if we don't get something decent. >> Stay informed about: Frangipanni... Flower of love or... Frangi-bloody-panni LOL |

I remember some really nice color floral shots he did. Especially a
rose that I particularily liked.
Daniel's series of shots of people demonstrating against the war in
Iraq has "a story to tell".

I removed it because I wasn't sure if I would be allowed to post
someone elses website. I don't know the Terms of Service for
monochromatique.
