Loved your story and images. Bev
What a fun time you had driving the back roads. Enjoyed your images from your drive. Bev
Nicely done, looks like it was well worth your frustration, time, and possible cursing. Bev
Wonderful light on their wings Frank. Nicely captured. Bev

Thank you Bev! UHH member
MinnieV visited Patterson in Maine last month, after she contacted him and he graciously agreed to meet. How great to know you had a whole week!
Here is MinnieV's (Paula Van Every) website - a huge talent!!

Thank you for Minnie's website. I'll check with her. Bev
Good eye to see this feather and capture it. I really like the simplicity of this image. Bev
Like your processing. It brought out the interesting textures. Bev
Enjoyed this composite. Like the frame idea and I remember the older cars with those huge fins. Is that an old Cadillac? Bev
Very interesting processing, enjoyed your images. Bev
This is wonderful Fran. Love your creative thinking. Bev
These all are so very interesting. Can't help but wonder what your creative prevision is or if you "go with the flow" workflow. Bev
You certainly were Sue. Great capture. Bev
Enjoyed all of your "something different" images. Bev

Attempting to define "photographer," and its corollary "is a cell phone pic a photograph," are - to me - boring and pointless discussions.
If someone is strongly left-brained, certainly their photography will be different from those of us who like to dive deep into our right-brain zone
I will say that since joining UHH, I have come to truly hate the term "tack sharp."

Linda, you are right on. I was primarily left-brained due to my career/training. When I became interested in photography it was difficult for me to be "creative" for the photography I enjoyed viewing: macro and creative. (I know, that's unexpected due to my career, it must have been my mind's relief.)
Thank goodness I was directed to Freeman Patterson early on, have a number of his books, and even took a week long workshop from him at his home at Shampers Bluff, New Brunswick, which I loved. I still have to constantly work hard to be creative, but like you, I'm often turned off by tack sharp images. I really enjoyed the image you posted here, your minimalist approach is wonderful as are your different hues of blue. Bev
