It’s hard to find the right way to express how amazing these are, due to the fact that we aren’t too familiar with photography terms or composition. Just know that the amount of emotion captured with every single photo is breathtaking.

1: The first one looks like a mini cave. Poor tree... that's quite the extreme scene captured there!

Yes, that's what drew me to it. Like stalactites and stalagmites, even thought it's really a tree stump.

3: Cute squirrel, they can be quite timid, so good job one that one.

Thanks. I think this guy was high up in a tree (outside our window) so he didn't see us and felt pretty safe and I had time to focus and center him in the shot.

4: I like the striped, tan, and black stones. Is that a sand floor? I'm not sure, the cracks seem to form a kind of grid.

Thanks. The cracks certainly form an interesting pattern. I'm with you there. It's just a sandy piece of ground. We hadn't had rain for a couple weeks so the ground was super dry. But I thought the arrangement and variety of stones made it interesting. It's one of my favorite shots from this bunch.

6: Are those wood pecker holes or wood knot holes? Stange... and interesting!

They might have started out to be knots but the underlying wood was hollowed out. Maybe boring insects or just the insides rotted faster than the outer shell.

 

Thanks for the comments.  💗

Yay! More pictures. I hope you like them.

A response to each picture in order of appearance:

 

1: Pritty flowers! I've seen flowers like that while I was outside in town.

2: That looks super high up. A crane thing...? I wonder what this tower is for.

3: It looks like lungs or ginger, or like little hands crawling out the the dirt!

4: That appears to be grapes that have turned into moss balls! Woah.

5: I can see that unnatural cut at the top, and the grainy texture of the flaked wood underneath.

6: A swamp or marshlands look, I think I see reeds, the low hanging branches look like spiders.

 

I do like these! And I'm glad that you're happy with the pictures. I hope my post has said enough about them.

These are beautiful. Gray and I took pictures of stuff before, but there's so much more thought and art put into these. The squirrel in the tree one? Genius. Even the seedpod one feels so much more interesting than Gray taking a random picture of a bug or animal he thinks looks cool.

 

Everything feels really crisp and well staged. Beautiful work!

I really like the first picture! They are really beautiful flowers. 😊 

 

I also think the third one is neat. That's a lot of roots. It looks like 2 or 3 groups are growing on top of each other. 😃 

 

I love the last one to. There is just beautiful! 😊 I wish I had the words to explain it better.

 

To be clear, I like all of the photos but these really stood out to me. They are all really good! 😄

It's been a few months. We've been shooting pictures, but our standards are getting higher, so we're not taking as many. I'm proud of this bunch. I hope you like them.

That's the one of the sycamore trunk. This is what drew me to photography in the first place -- a fascination with the way different trees branch and the patterns they make. I did a lot more of that in my early photos, but I still find it interesting.

Lovely photos! 😍 I always love your choice of subjects and how you chose to frame them! 😁 I like how the tree trunk looks kind of like some sort of animal's face, and how that plant sprouts from the concrete. And I really like the moss on the water and the spiral pattern! 😁 Your photos always encourage me to go out there and look for interesting things to photograph! 📷😁
