@patrickw-2 Hi Patrick, thank you for the details on the setup. Such a creative thought and execution 🙂

Thank you, Dahlia. @patrickw-2 I knew this was a winner when I saw it posted. I wish I has been there to watch you make this happen.  @elax – a fantastic frame (and I think I remember a back story with it). @jeant – a very simplistic, striking photo! Congratulations everyone.

@wendyp  and @patrickw-2 sorry about the late announcement. It is now announced on the main blog and the forum post is here – https://lightstalking.us/forums/topic/january-2025-photo-contest-winners-color-theory-in-practice/

Wow, Patrick! What a wonderful surprise. This is a great honor & thank you so much for the pick, my friend. 😀 I really appreciate you sharing the  details about how you see my shot. I look forward to trying out your suggestions for strategies to entice birds for more photo ops. 😀

@patrickw-2

Thanks for your enthusiasm about these shots, Patrick! These were my best bird shots ever for a non-birder. I was happy to share with you & appreciate your expert feedback and support. 😀

A question for you. Why do you think the branch is red directly underneath the robin in #3 or was that just more luck (right place, right time)? @patrickw-2

Such lovely creative writing, Patrick. I’d love to weigh into say that to my mind, photos are visual poetry – either rhyming or blank verse. Your can learn from writers who write either way. The thing is to give as much weight to the sound of your words and phrasing as you do toward building a tension needing resolution.

Hi Patrick, have you asked Dahlia or Rob, if they can sort it?

@patrickw-2

I appreciate that, Patrick! Thank you

@patrickw-2

WOW – thanks for the pick @federicoalegria and your words. My mind gets in a rut. I “literally” could not think of another interpretation – I was stuck.  This time “stuck” was a good thing!

@patrickw-2 and @tersha thank you so much. Your comments mean a lot.

@patrickw-2 n o Sir I don’t , this is from a scan of a photo on old photo paper that was breaking down and had no kind of brand mark on it , it was definitely before the days of color though.

thanks @patrickw-2

Creative as always @patrickw-2

Hi Patrick, very odd …. saw it yesterday, but it’s gone now!
Do you upload from a site, or from your computer? I’ve no idea what difference it would make, but I always upload from Flickr and I don’t seem to have any problems. Maybe Dahlia would have a better idea of why this happens?

@patrickw-2

Nice Diane , these are fun little lens mounts.

@patrickw-2 , Diane will have to share which ens she has with it but is basically a body with interchangeable lenses, 15 to be exact.

Congratulations @patrickw-2. I, too, found the shot very thought provoking. @federicoalegria – well written, great choice.
