Posted by ferider but I am posting again since it is my fave of the week.

yeah. absolutely wonderful. delicious colors. smeary pastel feel. the sharp parts - well, the relatively sharp parts - on the shoulder and the shoulder strap and the fabric in the background make the photo really work, so that it's not just a pretty smeary image, but that it has something to hold onto.

i'm finding out i'm a pictorialist at heart - at least this year - and there's no set formula for what works for me. this does.

 

[porktaco]

also, i kind of have this idea that i really like photos about, with, or that have some relationship to people.

building pictures, landscapes, dog/cat photos etc seem... well, easy isn't exactly the right term, but it's close. moments and relationships and light. right. that's it. see, i'm interested in well-lit photos about people. really. for sure.

then lynn comes along and does this. *cue up cartman cursing*. it's lovely. in fact, all his wave photos are really great, but this is the best one yet i think. i would hang this in my house without a second thought.

That wave shot by lynnb is indeed wonderful.
