view from a window

This is wierd but cool. The OOF frame with sharp BG is a good contrast.

Are you being facetious? I usually like your scenic landscapes, but this one looks like you were loading film and fired off a test shot to make sure the counter was working. There is no point of focus or apparent attempt to capture a mood, form, color, or event. Perhaps the moment means more to you than what is expressed in the image.

In a way it is "un-artful". If thats what you intended, then you were successful. So were the 1000's of pics I threw away last year similar to this one

i'm completely serious, although, i'm never quite sure about what.

the image is just about the moment, nothing earth shattering. first thing i "saw", last saturday am, just before coffee. liked the play of light on the ground and plants, but wasn't commited enough yet to go outside and do something serious about it. plus, i'm always a little tense and neverous and can't relax before i go to a notre dame football game, even when i was 5 years old.

but seriously, if you spend a little time letting your eyes wander from frame to frame (pane to pane), highlight to shadow, plant to plant, it's going to start feeling an awful lot like looking out a window. it even starts to take on a 3d effect.

but then again, i don't know. maybe some drugs will help.

Mark,
I can see the "first thing I saw" moment here. It has a moment-in-time feel. While I'm not compltely taken by it, I enjoy it. I'd like to see this as a series - similar in POV, as a set of scenes one views in anticipation of an event.

Mark,
I'm glad to see that you don't take yourself too seriously as shown in your response to the rather "in your face" critique by eSering.
Appreciation of this image would however be enhanced by a good dose of mood altering drugs
