Linda, your artistry helped me think about how I might evolve from my realism blinders. It takes special talent to do that which seems to have skipped my generation (family-wise). I hope that you don't stray to far.

Thank you very much, Elliott! I'm still active in several sections, including Digital Artistry. It's just more fun playing than managing

Yes, I think I was going more for abstract with that shot. I'm easily confused

You are welcome to post your photo, though starting a new topic (here or in FYC) and inviting participation would be a fine way to go, also.

Almost always a tough call for me to decide how much to remove. Easier to do the kitchen-sink landscapes like MinnieV is so good at.

Many thanks, Erich.

Contrast

The negative image is spectacular. Deep black sky, spooky house with spookier windows, framed by bare-limbed trees, the scene further accented by an otherworldly shadow...all work wonderfully together to produce a high-impact creative edit.

I'm back

The textures, composition and contrast make this highly attractive and pleasurable to view.

Re the "creative PP" section Digital Artistry, Carol and I have decided to exit the managment end. Too frustrating trying to make everyone happy, given the constantly shifting winds.

Playing is a lot more fun than managing

Jack, Erich and Don, thanks very much! Erich, that's a great observation about leaving off the bottom (half, 2/3, somewhere in between). The new flickr group theme this week is Minimalism, and though I thought I had recently done a few, I can see - with fresh eyes and more reading and viewing examples - that I need to simplify even further. For example, the example below would be "minimal" if cropped into two separate stories
