"Layers in Balance"

"Layers in Balance"
Oftentimes, when we see something in nature, we don't see beyond the first layer. Nature has a way of showing us objects of nature in layers. We just have to look. This not only applies to objects but also to situations.
- Kelly Shipp
The sun was striking the lowest branch of this tree more than the upper branches, which provided this layered perspective. In addition, I found the variety of shapes of leaves interesting. At first glance, you may see chaos, but after studying this photograph, you begin to see patterns and layers. Hope you enjoy.

The Classic Chevy

The Classic Chevy
I spent some extra time on this composition. I really love the color of the car, but I also wanted to stress the emblem and chrome. The reflection of the U.S. flag hanging on the wall was the perfect touch.

Streaming from the Cloud

"Streaming from the cloud"
There was quite a stir of subject matter that caught my attention to capture this scene. The trapped, colorful leaves, the cascading waterfalls at sunset, yet even more so - the 'cloud' of water current swirling between the falls.

Porsche GT3RS

Here's a shot from a recent OzarkPCA fun run of a Porsche GT3RS. I really like the result of this one.
