Two Drops

Two Drops

Uploaded: August 15, 2010

Description

Many of the Louisiana plantations had large metal bowls like this on the grounds. I believe they must have once been used as watering troughs but generally are now planted with water lilies. Wandering around one morning I found this one, mirroring the sky. Condensation was dripping occasionally from the eaves of the barn above and I waited for these two drops to hit.

Excellent reflection, and there's a wonderful lesson in this one. Patience is the most important tool NOT found in the camera bag. It's often required for making better photos. Your patience really paid off big on this one, Mitch. Those two water-drop circles make a huge difference. #8839677

Dear Photo Friend: I feel that something has changed at Better Photo but cannot tell you just what has happened. I have been here since 2003 and most every month I have written to all the winners telling them how their work touches me. I have witnessed photographs that bring tears to my eyes and colors that are unbelievable, now I am worried that like all good things that it will not be here the next time I look.
But the feeling of not being able to congratulate all the winners for the hard work, and sharing their talent with all of us makes me so sad.
However it turns out and even if this is the last time I have this privilege, to let you know how exceptional your work has been, please know that I will never forget.
CONGRATULATIONS to all of you for the month of February, 2013, I send my very best to you always, Merna Nobile #10664733
