Again it was not easy making this week’s Pick. My approach when the choice becomes difficult is to think back and ask myself; which image moved me most on an emotional level? The outcome of that question will mostly end up being my Pick unless it has severe technical or other flaws that cannot justify the choice. Anyway, this week’s image on my short-list were:
- Early morning hare by Sandra Hendrikse, a very beautiful image with an attractive color palette;
- Snapper Eye II by Peter Conway is an incredibly close-up portrait of a snapper turtle’s head including its reflection in bright green water;
- Black Red Fox Kit #2. Kurt Bowman has been posting a lot of fox images lately and all are a pleasure to view. This one of a Black kit is particularly engaging.
The image that moved me most however is Bill Maile’s brilliant image with the very fitting title The Apparition. This image (shot with a P&S!) is strong in both composition and mood. Just have a look at this deer appearing from the mist, walking in the middle of a track as if emerging from a natural tunnel of foliage.
Thanks again Vincent, there are some amazing images in Fauna. I got lucky to be in the right place with the right light (and the wrong camera!), but it all worked I guess. And I really appreciate the helpful NPNers that are patient and try to help us--at all levels--to improve.
