it's interesting to me that the shots i can easiest understand
a compliment on are the ones I'm least willing to accept
credit for as photographic "art"...
I have mixed feelings about taking credit for this one,
simply because it's almost 100% "journalism", best of 3 shots...
heck, it wasn't even me who saw this little fellow in the first place;
I just happened to have the camera...
to my mind, photographic "art" should require a bit of "staging"...
this sort of "random grab" is almost too easy to call "my work"...
even in "post", all I really did was to crop it "just so"
and to heat up the color a bit...
in fact, the most demanding thing I did was to employ
a moderate Gaussian Blur (faded to "Color"),
to ease the "banding" which occurs in some of the
original shot's (not-quite-this-vivid) background lighting...
But, to me, I believe that the main skills of an artist are in recognizing art, if you will....in other words....you take twenty five shots...and looking through them...your artistic eye, spots a great one...and then maybe you crop it and even mess with some more digatally...and voila! a great work of art!...
And, this applies to painters too....they may begin the painting and guide the development but, it is their artist's eye...that creates the work, just as with a photographer...both are involved with with a different but equally wonderful type of artwork...
and the skill is in the eye...(eye=mind)
I can compose a shot, but i often miss "the moment" in the composing...
in fact, had this little fellow not struck and held this pose for me, I'd have missed THIS shot in the composing, no doubt...
The background looks great....
