The most powerful thing you can do to change the world, is to change your own beliefs about the nature of life, people, reality, to something more positive... and begin to act accordingly. Shakti Gawain

A lovely peaceful image and a lovely story about the whale. I love the camera angle and the colors of this image.

Saving the world one starfish and one whale at a time -- gives me hope!

Just catching up on my photo stuffesses.... Sorry for the late reply :-)

I love the simplicity and visual impact. The starfish is so isolated and alone, yet the warm colors of the sunset are comforting and inviting.

I want to move the starfish to the right half of the photo, therefore making a visual diagonal between the bright clouds and the little guy. I guess that's how I would have framed it if I was lucky enough to have been there and attentive enough to have caught that detail :-) But then it might be a little plain that way. I'm not sure.

Anyway, the light streaks in the sand are well balanced and make nice leading lines that converge inwards as you go deeper. That really works well here.

I liked the other images in the group. The first and second ones are really great. They have such a nice balance and rhythm.

96 - Titan - Largest Moon of Saturn

Image
Canon 5DmkII, 16-35mm at 16mm, iso100, 1, 4 & 15 sec at f/13.0, Titan is the largest moon of Saturn, the only moon known to have a dense atmosphere and the only object other than Earth for which clear evidence of stable bodies of surface liquid has been found. Titan is the sixth ellipsoidal moon from Saturn. Frequently described as a planet-like moon, Titan has a diameter roughly 50% larger than Earth's moon and is 80% more massive. It is the 2nd largest moon in the Solar System, after Jupiter's moon Ganymede, and it is larger by volume than the smallest planet, Mercury, although only half as massive. Titan was the first known moon of Saturn, discovered in 1655 by the Dutch astronomer Christiaan Huygens. Titan is primarily composed of water ice and rocky material. Much as with Venus until the Space Age, the dense, opaque atmosphere prevented understanding of Titan's surface until new information accumulated with the arrival of the Cassini-Huygens mission in 2004, in...

85 - A Creative Path

Image
Canon 5DmkII, 16-35mm at 16mm, iso100, 1/6 sec at f/9.5, +CPL I feel like I'm in a creative rut maybe it's the rain, pretty much straight for 3 weeks. I want to think that's the reason but it's probably not. It is to easy to go back to the same place with the same equipment and shoot the same shot with a different sky. I don't want a break I want an idea. So I'll go searching... I know this is a universal phenomena, any comments would be appreciated.
