Smiling Coot/J Davis; Amusing: the bird, reflection and water patterns are similar items I try to achieve when I'm composing shots. This doesn't mean its good because I like it. It means I like it! WR Nipon by myself, during my prolonged stay in Japan during the mid-fifties, I studied floral arrangement. I found the chrysanthemum to be frequently used in the Japanese art form. It was used quite frequently in material design for wall and cushion materials. I only submitted this to remind myself of this. Lion of Nakuru/J Snarski; Jim was exactly where I would have been while in the hungry lioness's territory, only had I been there, I would have had the top of the vehicle closed. She, the lion looks mighty hungry! WR Wall/Bob Talbot; I enjoy the melting ice on the lichen, is the orange stain from decomposed lichen? Really nice study. WR Terrain Tissue/T Cunningham; Another of Trevor's Fine pattern studies, Is this photo taken from the underside of a sandstone cavern? I find your pattern studies to be very informative. Thanks for sharing. WR
