You're so talented, Alexis. In Greenhouses my eye is immediately drawn to the triangular patch of blue and then to how the standing corn stalks appear to be hugging each other tightly and struggling to reach the light.In Keep Out I love how the lighting highlights the lines and angles and I'm drawn to the blue door, wanting to see what's behind it.

It is so rewarding to be on this site, and to enjoy your support and your comments. I am going to continue working on this series - in fact the next shots to be posted are already "in the box" :) Thanks particularly, Llorenç, for your pointed observation that the corn stalks may grab too much relative attention, given that they are not what the picture is "about". I think that is quite true - at this viewing size. The detail and variations in the right of the picture, which draw the eye in a balanced way when the picture is viewed large, are not legible enough to do that when the image is small. Of course, I think it's true that the _very best_ images work regardless of size. Something to ponder and learn from! Thank you all!

I believe that the second one offers many other light and shadow records and there is no possible distraction, but on the contrary, the door invites to enter the photo and the letters Keep Out, they still reinforce more the intention of knowing another side.

Personally, I would really like to see where this layering with light takes you...¨please sir can we have some more¨. It’s really excellent to see your work profiled here Alexis.

Buzz Lightyear OK, I admit the quote is totally stupid, but when the 15 watt bulb that is my mind tried to light the way through all the clouded layers that's the best it could come up with. “To infinity, and beyond!” Buzz Lightyear
