happy to see another photo from this place with this wonderful DOF....
love it...as much as your previous one!.

Mal Smart hehe, this is on the route of walking my dog "Flappy" the beagle (I know you love them to), near my home by my local river. There are some really lovely locations there but I am yet to make the most of them, Flappy never stays still long enough to do so, lol. All the best Monique. mal

Remarkable for its simplicity the umbrella in a position such that we can read it is being taken down & the sunlight on the solitary cowslip. There is so much hope in this wonderful cameo & the clever perspective of your chosen POV makes this an instant favourite.

Mal Smart Gerry, thank you. It was the concluding image of a series portraying my mood at that time, this summer. You have read the image well, it is a selfie with deliberate composition and replication of shapes of the cowslip, very very pleased that you like it. all the best. mal

Mal, a very happy photo - it is singing I believe...the person in the frame has body language of being in a state of joy. This comes through so clearly for me as a second of happiness we can all identify with. Congratulations on this capture. Phyllis

Mal Smart Phyllis, I would be happy to read your words all day long. This was the concluding image to a mini series of images that I wanted to convey a mood that I was feeling this summer, the conclusion was a happy one realised in picture but perhaps not in reality but that is life I guess. Thank you for your great words Phyllis, they are taken to heart. mal

Excellent composition/placement Mal. This was such a slow grower for me, but when I finally understood/appreciated, it delivers so much. I think that is the beauty in this for me.

Mal Smart Andre, thank you. I set myself a little task of making images, while out walking the dog, that would convey my thoughts and feelings at this time during this passed summer. This was the concluding image. many thanks and all the best. mal

Can't help myself but I really have to write something here even if you already know how much I love this image and I believe that all your works are full of soul and sincerity and that you've always inspired me and...well, you know all these! You are a special friend! Thank you Mal!

Mal Smart :)) I hoped that it would be accepted here but was not sure Codrin.

You are an inspiration to so many but you know I think that way.

all the best
mal

Codrin Lupei I have to say that I've really lost all my hopes but it still makes me happy when this kind of images are published, you know Mal, even if everybody will tell me that I am wrong...I still believe that in the last time (not only here) we are searching merely just for the spectacular, seen no more photographs, or for those eternal clichees...some of them seen for the first time by some...but in an end...I am sure that sincerity will win, if not the whole battle at least some sincere souls will be richer. Take good care of you!

Brent Mooers Wow, it's been a long time since I've visited the site - sounds like things have become very grim indeed! You guys sound so depressed...

This photo is wonderful Mal

Codrin Lupei :) Hi Brent, sorry if those words sound like this :) it was not my intention at all and I am not at all depressed :) these were just some personal observations. Cheers! Have a wonderful weekend!

Mal,

I think I agree with Risquillo, but just in case its a great short story enhanced by the dof

Cheers Chris

Mal Smart Thank you Chris. Did you take that walk the other day? mal

Chris Dixon Mal,

yes I did take the walk....some B&W shots that look good printed but when up on the web don't seem to do them justice so I'll think about submitting or not as the case may be

Cheers Chris
