The States of Winter Dead Cattails

I like the second one Don. I like the way the picture moves from out of focus foreground to out of focus backgound, but the catail is in focus. Also how the light gives it a halo effect around the catail. I know what you mean when you do what works for you, I am glad you want to take pictures that are different from others. I too don't want to take perfect pictures of flowers, I want to develope my own style of things. I don't want to take pictures for Home and Garden Magazine. I want to take them for me. Please yourself first should be the first rule of photography. The second should be enjoy what you are doing. Very nice work on this one Don...

I like the light and focus.
I always have a problem when the lines lead off the border of the photo.

I like the bottom shot, it seems like a living thing surviving in a harsh environment.

They are now, exploded from the cold. But the photo is meant to tell that story. Thanks GB
