Very nice balance of shapes as well as of tonality!

I'm gradually forming the opinion that ALL photography is about contrasts. Attractive photography is about contrasts in light and/or contrasts in color, something the average landscape photographer should likely recognise. Meaningful photography is furthermore about contrasts in narrative and/or content.

Not that I managed that here, but as with the rule of thirds: "implication" is a one-way street.
IF it is attractive, THEN it likely represents contrasts.
Not: if it depicts contrasts, then it is attractive.

It's usually the "meaningful" bit that defeats us most of the time, whoever we are.

Pretty is easy, but as with pretty girls, if there's nothing else...

I had an umbrella, naturally, and it was one of those times I drag myself out with something vaguely specific - (?) - in mind. My jeans got soaked up to the knees with the familiar Scottish drizzle now transported, courtesy climate change, to Mallorca. Sitting in a bar having some coffee half-an-hour later felt strange; perhaps I should just have gone home and taken them off. Having or not having them on at home now makes not a heap of difference. :-(

I was going to call this snap Abbey Road, but I've already done that before with something else.

Anyway, I think I gave myself a cold.

It's not the size of the boat that counts,
It's the skill of the skipper and
the motion of the ocean

Of course, it helps if you actually have a boat and not some surrogate equivalent contraption!?

Rob, as I mentioned before, move to America, Florida in particular. No such miserable weather here ;)

I sat in a Florida hotel watching the storm and lightning scare the hell out of the idea of going out with a metal tripod. Fortunately I don't play golf, but that, apparently is even more dangerous there!

I did note the smiley...

Seriously, though, my carelessness..no excuse.

Thanks and best regards.

Oscar, tell it to cheer up: at least it still has all its doors - just.

Yank enough sliders in Snapseed and a sow's ear becomes ..., well..., I don't know, a sow's ear?

(Yes, I know. I really need to go out and take some decent peoplepictures again, pronto!)
