I think the first time I realized that I took a photograph instead of a snapshot was after a day outing with our, then toddler daughter, to a State Park beach. This was not a beach of glistening sunbathers in sometimes awkward looking swimsuits. This was a beach of gentle windswept sand dunes and majestic deep blue skies, with bleached gray driftwood logs scattered upon the sand. Those logs providing a place to sit and watch the beautiful gray-green water lap the pebbled shore.
What drew me to those photos once they came back from the developer, was the color. The intoxicating colors of nature. There I have said it, what I love about photography is color; bright colors, soft colors, black and white and my new favorite sepia, I LOVE them all.
One of my favorites from this past fall. I love the pop of the yellow berry. |

Love love your yellow berry shot.. I find that I'm totally in love with photography the longer I do it ..,,
I love the yellow of the berry and blue of the sky - two of my favorite colors together. Very nice!
Like your point of view with the yellow berry in all the greyish and a great DOF.
i love how you have focused on the berry...leaving a soft haze or blurriness at the edges & in the background. it is a truly lovely photograph!
Such a little berry but a big part of the photo. Nice capture.
I love that one yellow berry and how it plays off the blue sky. Lovely!
Color Rules !!
Lovely pop of yellow! Liking the texture of the plants too!
I do love that yellow berry! It's a surprise in the photograph, much like the surprise of your discovery of photography as an expressive art that day on the beach. I love the way you are answering this question. :)
It looks like you and I have a common interest in nature photography. I'm amazing at the beautiful colors and the fascinated shapes that nature has! That pop of yellow is fantastic!!
Color is a great draw! Love how you've captured and highlighted the berry in this shot.
