I like the different colors of these reeds. Something I've never seen before! Good find and nice shot!

Thank you Brinn, they were pretty, the white ones blew my mind on camera. But I added tint to the red and blue one. LOL. Thanks for taking the time. Cheryl

As a photo editor I think this is a waste of film.Before you press the
button,THINK do I want this shot as a record?THINK is any body going to buy
this.
THINK,would I hang this on my wall if
you say no to these,do not waste film.
Sorry to be a nasty one but I am giving
you the point of view from a editor,
where you hope to sell your photos.

Laughinggggggggggg well thanks a lot! 1. I don't have film it's digital so can shoot all day long. 2. I have seen a lot worse on walls LOL. 3. I kinda liked it, with that white reed and such. Not all photos can be scenes etc. In fact I like the unusual myself. 4. I am not really into it for the money as of yet, just a hobby. Thanks though! Cheryl

Well..Cheryl what a strange reaction from this Thomas fellow. I want you to know I do sell my photos as a living, and this one would sell in my booth. As they say, can't please everyone all the time...BMAC

Cheryl....you're right, I've had people look at my photos and ask "why didn't I add something" to it that wasn't even there when I took it. Like flowers in a shot of a window that had a window box, which, didn't even belong to me..lol.
Maybe we could make a good broom out of the reeds and give him a good thrashing, or, he could ride it out of town...lol. I know your work well..some people make me laugh more than others! Keep on shooting....BMAC

Brinn your totally refreshing. Yes I just hate that when someone says why don't you add something? DUH If it would of been there I would of shot it LOL. NO this didn't bother me at all don't any of you worry about it not at all. That shot was a long while ago, I move on lol. Like it or not, I love this with my heart and soul. I will sometimes put hours and hours into my work. My work is my art, it is a part of me. Not everyone likes me either laughinggggggggggg. But hey he was a help, selling photos? hummmmmmm lol.

Cheryl,
I am a newcomer to this site. But your Reed n Color is a great composition. I see your joy in the image. The negative attitude is an indication of boredom. All images will not appeal to everyone the same way, but criticism should always be constructive and never destructive. Keep on shooting the way you do, time and patiences will prove out in more profound imagery.
