Comments on: "Photo Friday" (33)
Beautiful, whatever day of the week. 🙂
Thanks so much!
Oh, that is stunning, Elena.
thanks Jill!
Love this! Such perfectly simple monochrome..and exquisite detail. Terrific!
Many thanks Marcie!
Such a simple image – and yet so expressive. For me it’s a statement about the ever changing nature of life, running in circles between life and death. I really love the monochromatic palette with just a hint of brownish colour tones. Beautiful.
Thank you Otto! I’m taking your advice to heart!
Love the brooding intensity of the background, and the grasping claws of the plant (of course).
Thank you Richard!
cool dry look 🙂
Yes, it was quite cool and very dry:)
I nominated you for awards. You can go to http://ivonprefontaine.com/2012/12/07/more-awards/ and pick them up. Naturally, there are rules. Congratulations.
That is so kind of you. I am honored.
oh i’m seeing all kinds of freaky things in there already 🙂
great texture and muted colors!
Thanks! You’ve got a great eye for creatures!:)
The bleached-out landscape up close! I love those tones – and the gently falling snow!=)
Thank you Karen! Snowed…just a very little bit:)
Wonderful picture! Absolutely wonderful!
Big hugs, much love, Stefania! 🙂
Thanks Stefania!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this shot!!
(and thanks for the kind words you left me on visionandverb today……another male knitter in your family!! maybe he’ll teach some little person sometime….and look at what he could start?!)
Thanks so much! Oh I did love your post. My husband tried to teach me, but I’m hopeless;) Thanks so much for visiting!
This really neat! Great neutral colors, and of course I can image it as building materials for a gnome house of some sort. Perhaps an overhang or decorative embellishment over a tiny gnome tree door? 🙂
Why yes! How did you know;)
I like this – the composition, the contrast between shapes and lines, the textures, the subtle tones
Thank you Louis!
I just love this photo…The gray/brownish tones are beautiful together.
Thank you!
Stunning in its simplicity
Thanks so very much. Your work is excellent. I very much appreciate your comment.
beautiful photo! and here i was thinking it was thursday. 😦
Ok, you made me think…it is really Friday?;) Upon further evaluation, I think it is:)
I’m sure you are correct, let’s make it official!
