Red Bags

[Jaemie]

Moss sporophytes, actually. I like the surreal, almost extraterrestrial, "landscape" in this image. The tight DOF seems to enhance the mystery and depth. It's really just some dry moss on a brick post, shot with partially-covered flash just after sunset. C&C?

Nice abstract; i like the colors... i also liked the foreground blur here, which in most cases would exert a negative effect

Thank you. I really like that foreground blur for the sense of depth and subtle tension.

Nice colors and shapes, and I get what you're doing with the blurry moss in the foreground along with the reddish area leading back to the rest of the moss, but I still feel like the blur is kind of in my face. I think I'd prefer a little cropped off the bottom and left to make it smaller and direct attention more to the sharp ones.

Love it. It looks like a road/path winding through a whimsical forest. Kind of gives me an Alice in Wonderland feeling.

Thank you for the descriptive feedback. I like the AIW comparison so much I used it in my blog post.
