Very provocative images, Edie. You've captured some really great moments.
Thanks very much, Nighski. May I ask you what you mean by "provocative"? The word may be taken in several ways.

Nightski: Your doe photo is great! Can really get the feeling that you were trying to sneak up on this doe (enhanced by the tall grass) and her sharp ears caught you. Great expression! Great catch!
And... I think I see another another animal near the right edge. A dog, maybe?

Your photos are so crystal sharp, and the colors and composition so gorgeous they could be paintings.

This is so nice, Graham - some things we see are becoming lost arts.

Graham - what are they sorting? Reminds me of our Chesapeake Bay crabbing industry.

I see everybody is finally having fun!
A few quick comments. Of course we can always use Graham as an example, as his shots are never NOT excellent.
Keep in mind that this is about environment. We want the environment to tell the story, not the subject. For sure it's about the subject but we need the trappings to complete the story we want to tell. We don't want to see just the doorway, we want to see the building AND the street along with what we are seeing!
We need as much of the surrounding as we can get.
I realize that we may not be used to doing that. We usually zero in on a subject with little environment and we present the subject but we don't include have much environment.
That's the whole purpose here, to make us aware to start to SEE the BIGGER picture! It's one of the tools that will help us to take our photography to the next level. And we all want the next level. RIGHT?!
We want to see MORE than an isolated activity, we want to see a complete story.
I like to look at them as two pictures in one. Take the subject OUT and you still have a shot! That's what makes it a complex composition. Take out the environment and we still have a shot. :thumbup:
