But save the daylight 'cuz Spring is Coming.
Edit: replaced both pics with re-cropped versions. So it goes when you initially process & post photos immediately after taking 'em.

I like the atmosphere a lot.
You display (in both pix) a
positive attitude that I would immediately have felt compelled to crush by converting into black/white and then taking into the realms of threat and foreboding.
This seems, to me anyway, to illustrate that the subject, per se, can be the least important aspect of an image; that it often serves just as springboard to whatever else if cooking deep inside the mind.
Perhaps that's why I believe that hand-of-man subjects are more relevant to personal photography than nature's freebies. Man-made enables the base usurping of the object by the photographer as a second step along the path of connections between
people. I feel no connection whatsoever with a redwood nor even an oak. I find a powerful connection, however, with a '59 Coupe de Ville, despìte never owning not having the most remote chance of owning one, but none at all with an equally distant Ferrari, yet I find both beautiful.
In other words, perhaps hand-of-man ultimately encourages searches of the soul. For those who suspect we have no such thing as a soul, what in the name of all that's good do you search in your private moments?
