Dawn creeps in and casts a burnished copper light over the reed banks.“Draw the viewer to a focal point” – tether your eye to the anchorage post and look outwards and beyond.Different spaces, patterns, textures create interest and the story line here are the dead tortoises on crow-row.
The three photos are in response to the Weekly Photo Challenge: The world through your eyes. The challenge is based on the first of Ming Thein’s Photography tips. Here light, composition, clarity of subject and the idea behind the shot must be conveyed by the picture.
Very nice, Liz. That business of drawing the viewer to a focal point is not my strongest talent (I don’t think of it, mostly!), but that only means I can only get better, right?
Though I’d prefer they house living tortoises, those shells are beautiful.
Hmm, can think of some of your photos which draw the eye nicely – the deer, jewels of dew drops… I found Ming’s photography tips and his pictures an inspiration. Although i’ve found the rule of thirds grid helpful in composing shots and placing focal points.
Yes, sad about the dead tortoises….. the crows get hold of them, flip them over onto their backs. Not my favourite bird; known as the Death Crows.
Nature on the Edge 
Beautiful images, as always! I think the first is my favorite, but the second is so soothing! Z
These images are wonderful, I can feel the sun rising and the peace envelope me.
Thanks Lily … very glad to read your intuitive comments. Just a perfect harmony, not even a whisper of wind…
Superb Liz, every one.I love the way the colour links them as well.
Thanks Gilly 🙂 That morning light was just magical…
