1. Those are fun!
I especially like the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th ones! The repeated light in the 2nd one is really nice. The green leaf is really special and thought provocative for me. It makes me think of life and death, hope and rebirth... It's a simple photograph but at the same time it's complex and very poignant. That poor little cherub -- he makes me shiver!

2. I'm a little stunned by these, not because I've ever doubted your prowess
but because 1, 2 and 4 are so preternaturally beautiful and - ZING - exact. This is just a glorious demo for how photography illuminates life, and life photography.

3. would be nice if it lasted through tomorrow
I love the rock! The rock is telling the snow that it is just fine without it! And the melting snow gives the cherub quite a wistful look.

Good job!

4. Thanks for your kind commentes, and look at this:
What I had never noticed before was the way snow backs away from living things, even the rock. It seems to sense the different vibrational energy and temperatures. Look at how it echoes the shape of the feet of the little cherub, as it retreats.
I found that fascinating





Merry Christmas, my photographer friends!
