Those pix are an excellent and concise review of those stupid plastic owls!

Yep.. similar effect here. Then his spring mounted head fell off.

THis guy in a big flower garden (that was open for tours). Plenty of colorful flower plantings around. And he is painting this scene. Seems perfectly reasonable to me.



I watched him for a bit, he paused and glanced at me, I made some comment about liking the scene, photographically, for the repetitive lines and texture of the building as compared to the twisting shapes of the plant trunks, and the way the plant has grown over the building. The guy made a short comment, and went back to painting. I watched him for a little bit, waited for him to pause, and I made a comment about the slight overcast skys being good for photo. He seems startled, and stopped, I thought maybe he was annoyed with my interruption. But then he started talking about how in the overcast light can see subtle shades of color around the curved surfaces that convey the shapes of things. And he told me other things of why he liked the scene. And he said he mostly thought that was little commonality between painting and photography, but that my statements were close to his idea of painting.

Took a couple shots (resisted asking him "Hey, could you work on a detail closer to the bottom of the frame?") and moved on. I wondered how much longer he sat there working on it.

Those are still green here.
Nice detail/focus and the backlighting adds interest.

Bob, I'm guessing the bugs are shadows, as in picture taken from the thr shady side of the leaf?
I'll check that thread at some point. Between the daily contest over there, other forums, FB, email, etc, I've had to pick and choose what I've been paying attention to and defer others.

Yup....bugs on the sunny side of the leaf. Good fun.
Understand prioritizing. Gotta do it sometimes.

I went minimal again today...
