Does it speak?

Sometimes I see/shoot things that I think create some emotion and then I look at it later and I'm not sure if I captured something or just took a snapshot of nothing. Does anyone have an opinion on this one?

Thank you. I was afraid I was just seeing my own mood and took a picture of some weeds on a foggy day. I love the mood.

I agree with mcmama. The mood is what makes the shot. I've run into the same situation. Sometimes the detail you thought you were capturing doesn't seem to come out in the finished product. This time you you got it right.

I know that fog, those weeds, how the air smells... The image does, to me, evoke memories and attached to those memories are certain emotions so, in that sense the image succeeds- with me. Thus the image isn't the subject; it doesn't provide the viewer new information, a fresh view or a different perspective but is, rather a catalyst and, in that regard, the less successful technical and compositional elements aren't particularly important...

This is a nice, moody, decorative photo. You have a good eye for composition and knowing when you see something worth capturing. Most others would see nothing there, or be looking more for bright colors, but muted ones and pastels have their place.

Thank you, Fuminous. You confirmed, in very kind words, my own thought that this shot is mostly in the (my) eye of the beholder.

ELNikkor, you are too kind. I'll be coming back to reread your comment whenever my ego needs a boost. This is a nice, moody, decorative photo.

Put a nice red sun ball kind in the upper left and it will be great!
