Treasure in the Garbage

I am about to junk the unused half of the image, Ordinary and Extraordinary, that I re-did yesterday (See Re-do and Ordinary and Extraordinary blogs) and, before doing so, I look a little closer, and conclude I like, The Throw away, even better than Re Do. What’s that all about?

It seems, the lesson for me is, one center of interest at a time. Look deeper. Reflect. Feel. Having too much in my view is distracting. I don’t see the beauty within, from the surface. I guess this idea applies beyond just my photography.

In The Throw Away I see the beautiful natural contrasting cloud colors in a nice abstract design. I see the accenting thin white cloud, nicely positioned. The thin line light cloud points to me, the black cloud, freely flying across the sky, sucking up all there is to be. I see the nice, almost rainbow like cloud, shining downward over a majestic Adirondack.

It’s still not simple enough for me. As I write I am deciding to eliminate the lake and foreground trees. Oh, now it feels right - a keeper for my Skyward project. Thanks for listening me through to the end.
