Wow great photo and great narrative. I think it works really well that all the books are mixed together as that really reflects my understanding of learning (i.e. how I tend to learn best when new information can be linked in some way to prior knowledge).
I especially like the lighting coming from the right side of the frame as this gives the image some depth. I'd imagine that front lighting would have given a very 2D image. It's not surprising that you've sold 11 photos I'm sure you'll sell many more.
Lovely words, lovely shot and well done on having a book of yours on that shelf Jill
The colours are great and the tale it tells, illustrating your words is wonderful
Me gusta mucho
Truly inspirational stuff Jill and congrats on selling those pictures.
Thanks Marc - that makes 2 of us (inspirational that is ) and selling the pictures was a surprise (a nice one of course )
I like all your shots so far but I've got to say the history one is fantastic
Love how personal you've allowed this to become - the narrative is inspirational and I hope you are damn proud of what you have achieved when life threw a curve-ball at you
Image complements the description very well to make it right on theme.
I'm enjoying following your 52 Jill. It's very inspirational both the narrative and the images. Congratulations on your book fantastic accomplishment and you should be immensely proud. Looking forward to next week
I enjoyed reading the information behind the image as well.
your history picture is very touching and perspective-putting-into (if that makes sense).
I see your book
Whichever, it's a cracking good shot with strong geometrical lines and gorgeous colour.
tbh, if you produce a shot of this quality on a bad day, the good days will be up there in the stratosphere. I look forward to more abstracts, too.
I hope Week 5 will be just the Opposite.
Jean
I absolutely love the image though - abstract plants is right up my street and down my garden path
As for the surprise - it actually looks like a fan dancers fan and there's a surprise behind it
Lovely shot!
Great abstract image, haven't done anything like that yet, going to have to have a go now, that a really strong pic.
Love the image, as Jean says the lines are fabulous and the colour is superb
Hope you have more energy this week
Nice light Jill, i'm surrounded by these Palms but i still don't the full name, I'm still waiting to get a gecko sillouhetted throught a leaf.
Love the photo. Everything works
Lovely abstract Jill but I couldn't tell you what it is. Keep fighting!
I haven't a clue exactly what plantlife it is - but I do like the abstract.
Strong colours, bold lines. Winning combo
Like everyone else, not a clue, but a cracking shot. Brilliant colours and pattern. Sorry to hear it's been a bad week, I hope things improve this week.
Thanks Jean, and both guesses are wrong . Its a Chamaerops (European fan palm). And love the pun at the end
I don't know what it is...but I sure know I like it a lot...
love the line of this shot...excellent me thinks
Striking image. I'll go along with the other comments. Well done.
your learning post fits the theme well but it it stretch you as a photographer? surprise image is great fantastic lighting and great composition
Like this Jill. Lovely colour and detail. Great abstract. Sorry you had a bad week. Hope this one proves to be a better one for you
