Water Theme #1: Droplets

Posted by Daniel (Kenmare, United States) on 1 May 2007 in Plant & Nature.

Part of the water theme going on at aminus3.
Featured at Vazaar.

My gallery show wound up this past weekend. It was a great success! During the Olympia Artwalk, my work was at the same location as famed glass artist Dale Chihuly's artwork! It was really cool! I'll post some pics in the next week or so.

I finished my Solo Photo Month Book, Postcards from the Far Side of the World (at least for me). Check it out at this link: MY BOOK!!!. How it works is you have a month to take and edit at least 35 pictures in a month. The pictures are put into a pdf that is uploaded to the sofobomo website. It is really challenging!

Read the synopsis of my fantasy epic! Forward it to your literary agent and editor friends!

Check out my photo review by Alain Broit.

That is an honor to be displayed along with Chihuly - congrats on your successful show!
This is a nice take on the water theme - you nailed the technical parts of a shot like this and toning, composition and patterns with the leaves and drops bring it all together. Hard to tell if I am looking up and in or down and over but either way it draws the eye through the photo. Great job.

Awesome! Are the droplets on a palm leaf of some kind?

1 May 2007 5:33pm

@Celialee: No, I don't think so. The plant is just somekind of weed.
