celebrating the end of spring cleaning
Comments:
I've looked for the equivalent of a cacophony of colours before and been unable to find it. It would be a suitable word for this. There is also a fine collection of things to see and ponder upon, just for one the back of the wooden chair.
Musing on your comment: cacophony would be the wrong word anyway as that means discord: I don't think any colours clash here. How about an 'exuberance' of colour? There are actually not that many colours here in any event.
'There are actually not that many colours here in any event.'
No, there aren't, and those that are present all seem to be off the same palette. The light on the evergreen in the foreground is particularly beautiful.
Two in a row for me to struggle with. I see lots of bits that I like (shadow, colour, the blown drapes revealing the figure) but I can't get it to add up to a whole. Are there too many shapes? A cacophony of shape?
I just keep on seeing a naked woman hanging up washing, reminds me of the young lass that used to live next door that sunbaked naked. I swear it was an accident I looked over the fence, I'm taller than the fence.
My eyes travel the triangle of pink flowers, yellow on the line and white sheet. There is so much to see inbetween.
It's a little busy and crowded with too much fighting for my attention and none of it really winning it. Took me a while to notice the statue but the chair was much easier. Given nakedness and pose of the statue I'd be guessing a wider shot would give me much more to work with. She seems to be breaking free yet the confines of the photograph fail to bring this over.
I think this might have worked better if the magenta shrub in the lower left were not there. As it is the "celebrating" statue is not easily found, and even when found it can't hold my attention.
The light is nice, and It does have some quite lovely things going on -- I especially like the white drape with the shadows on it. I can imagine at least three interesting "smaller" images that could be made.
Thanks for comments - it certainly drew out different viewpoints! This is in Fishguard old town (where the Richard Burton version of Under Milk Wood was shot years ago). There is a small car park, from which one walks to the end of the quay with a line of cottages on the right. This property is between the car park and the quay and I have taken the occasional photo before. There is not much more if taken wider as this is pretty much the extent of the garden (not much space at the foot of the hill and the original cottagers weren't wealthy people). I took this fairly late in the evening and was first attracted by the blowing dusters and the shadows but liked the groupings of colour and shape in the confined space: their garden and their shapes!
