Winning Photograph

Monet Photo of Pond with Daisies

This Monet style photo taken by Nick Eckert and enhanced in Photoshop, wins this safari's photo of the month. Alan's critique follows: I get the feel this is impressionism and could be a Monet. I like the curve of the lines, the color combinations and the soft feel of this image. The upper right edge of the image has some light colored grass which is distracting and the upper center back ground has a white (morning glory?) in the back ground that is distracting. I would remove these. otherwise, I love this. The technique used here accentuates the feel and mood of the image and really tells the story well. This is perhaps my favorite of Nick's. There is also a triangle of flowers and a diagonal line of the wall.

Nick will be receiving a Va Photo Safari pen in the mail this week. Congratulations Nick!
