It reminds me of some Japanese scene/art. Sometimes colour that "pops"
is necessary to carry an image, but in this case, this just says
"Spring" to me. A little intensification in this one might work, but I
personally wouldn't go too far. The colours of Spring are pretty
specific, in my eye/mind ... gentle, soft, pastel, pastoral are
adjectives that come to mind. The grey of the barnboard in the
background helps to gently highlight the pale green.
The colour in this one reminds me of a photo of Central Park in the
Fall that I saw years ago in a book on photographic methods &
techniques. For the life of me, I can't remember the book or the
photographer. It may have been in the Time Life series; I do remember
the photographer was a woman, and it was illustrating an article on the
C print. She took the shot from her apartment balcony, and it was
raining. So the light was soft, and the resulting image was further
softened by the rain dispersing the light. So it was a "fall colour"
image, but there was a subtlety to it that was entrancing to me, though
I would have loved to see an original print as all I was seeing was a
reproduction.
Ken, I'm sure you've been around Superior in early Fall, when the leaves
have just started to turn. A fellow OM photographer friend of mine (not
on this list) also likes pictures at this time better than the
Wall-o-Colour shots that satisfies the "old farts" (his phrase, I love
it!) in the local camera club who try to overwhelm the viewer.
In religious terms, I want Zen meditation, not Pentacostal revival
meeting... mostly. :-D
