Beauty in Dirt

Pictures I took when I went out exploring with my sister. Enjoy!

Great Job! My favourite was number five, it looks so sad but so powerful too, I love the ominous feel it throws off. ALso number three is pretty cool. I like how it's pointed at something relatively small, then you can see the world behind it go on and on forever. My top thrird would defiantly be the beautiful butterfly, God that's awesome. anyways the others are good too, but those three really stuck out to me.

Hey, Boo. (Gosh, that sounds like I'm trying to pick up on you or something.) Hey, Boolovesyou! (much better)

Well, first off, these are truly some very beautiful shots you have here. I love the atmosphere they bring off. Especially because you say you took these while you and your sister went exploring. Makes it seem like you walked off into another realm and brought back still life shots of the beautiful imagery.

But anyway, enough of my babbling. This first photo is absolutely gorgeous. The colors and the angle of the lion statues, the way they're turned and aiming at the cloudy sky, it all looks so stoney and crisp looking. Like the picture itself is showing anticipation for something to happen here. The colors are really what makes this image pop. As I said, it's just so crisp and calm looking. Like the wind before a storm, it looks as if something is about to go down.

As for your second shot, there doesn't really seem to be as much going on here. Though I do still enjoy the textures of the ground and the overall photo quality, as a shot alone in itself, I don't feel it's very strong. Or at least as strong as some of the others you took. It comes off a bit empty to me in some way. The one thing I can say I suppose is that I enjoy the angle of the trail with the piece of sky lingering overhead.

The third picture is rather pretty. You have landscape in your immediate foreground, only it's focused. Then you have the shot overlooking a larger landscape. The angle isn't very original in my opinion, but the fact that you chose to focus on the immediate foreground rather than the larger scene it's overlooking is quite nice.

Your fourth photo. I'm not sure why, but for some reason I really like this one. The close up of the granite looking stone and all the colors that are brought out and the way its angled, beautiful. You've also done a very decent job of capturing the atmosphere of the image. I feel like if I were to touch this stone, it'd be cool and rugged beneath my fingertips. The numbers engraved on it seem like a date to me, which rings old in my eyes. Really nice shot.

The next shot down reminds of the type of image you'd find on a search engine if you typed in something like "creepy black and white tree". It's a steady image in its own, but I do like the black and white going on. Black and white tends to give off a sort of attitude when applied to a shot, and with trees I just happen to like how it looks.

This fifth picture, is that your sister? I love how this looks. Though in a way, the angle does seem a bit awkward. I think you got it right though the way you have her face looking down and away. Almost like she's shy, or just content with the day. The mood is nice. Her hair is very curly! And red. There's personality here for sure.

Wow you have a ton of pictures. I'm slowly losing steam, but good thing I'm almost finished here! Last two pictures. The butterfly, how the heck did you get a shot of that? It's beautiful. The color and texture of the wings is stunning. (I'm not sure how many more synonyms for pretty I can get away with using up.) The way the leaves are all eaten up and imperfect created a brilliant background for this little fluttery creature. ^-^

Last but not least! Your last image --another shot of the ground. o.O Normally I wouldn't be too thrilled about a ground shot, but this one was focused so intricately, I can't really deny it's unique quality. It looks like there's a bunch of fuzzy stuff all over the ground. I want to squash around in it.

But anyhoo, I guess that's about it! My hands are tired from typing, so I think I'll wrap this up with, awesome work and keep up the sweet photography.
