Comments by Jan Bjorklund on Mon, 03/30/09 14:55 The golden hues of the weeds work particularly well with a black background page color. A good sense of texturing here especially from the foreground snow covered weeds while the contrast between the foreground and background plants creates a sense of depth in the picture (the quality of the light helps to enhance that sense of depth for me). Comments by John Long on Mon, 03/30/09 15:07 A rather beautiful colour palette in this photograph! Comments by Jeff Dye on Mon, 03/30/09 17:12 I can see how this would catch one's eye but often what catches the eye doesn't work out as a photograph. IMO this doesn't work out. Just one of Mother Nature's messes and she doesn't give a hoot about photographers. Comments by Linda Frey on Mon, 03/30/09 17:15 Sometimes messes are appealing, at least to some of us. Those reddish grasses are especially nice. Comments by Maria Koutala on Mon, 03/30/09 18:25 Nice photo in beautiful warm colours!!! Comments by G.B. SHETTLER on Mon, 03/30/09 19:03 Did you try any. Thoughs are country snow cones, you know :-) Comments by Jim E on Tue, 03/31/09 03:25 I have some sympathy with Jeff's comments, but sometimes "mess" is what you want. I think it would be enhanced with a focal point, though. Comments by Rory Hudson on Tue, 03/31/09 04:15 I like the red in the background grasses. Comments by Bill Leggett on Tue, 03/31/09 18:04 I think there's some potential here, but maybe the lighting angle, and amount of light, is pulling it back some. Maybe with softer lighting conditions there could be more emphasis on the "snow capped" aspect (?) Comments by Ross Thornton on Tue, 03/31/09 21:59 I like the riotous tangle of growth here, with depth provided by high contrast. Also appealing are its apparent spontaneity and the attachment you seem to have with the land. Comments by Maria Salvador on Thu, 04/02/09 06:46 :-) Earth colors at their best - as I see it on my monitor. A lovely and appealing 'mess'!
