About the Image(s)
Happy New Year to all - I picked this early pussy willow and put in this vase in a north window - to even play off the light further, I shot this with a soft focus lens. To me it the sturdy branch symbolizes soft resiliency - a most desirable trait in my opinion.

Hi Harriet,
I really like the soft lighting on the vase and pussy willow as well as the slight 45 degree shadow...all of this adds interest to the photo for me. However, I myself am not a fan of soft focus lenses and I would have preferred to see the vase sharper while having the pussy willow softer... But this is a matter of my personal taste and is no reflection on your image. It looks like looks like you achieved the effect you wanted.
Happy 2025!

Hi Harriet,
The soft lighting creates a serene atmosphere to this simple photo. The diagonal shadow adds interest. Photo lacks sharpness, but perhaps you wanted a dreamy effect. Posted: 01/13/2025 21:21:11

I understand the effect you are trying to achieve. In that regard it is a good realization of your vision. Posted: 01/15/2025 02:47:07
A simple picture of a simple arrangement. Your attempt to soften the study has worked well. Do I like the softness? I am not too sure. Would this work in monochrome, just a thought. Posted: 01/17/2025 09:43:03
The soft lighting and soft focus a balancing perfectly the round soft shapes. Very nicely done
