puddles (water: 1 of 3)
Posted by filipe franco (Lagoa, Azores, Portugal) on 1 May 2007 in Abstract & Conceptual.
A community collaborative series based on the word "Water".
Thanks to Damon for organizing this excellent theme. For those of you that didn't get to participate, hopefully this is the start of a new aminus3 tradition with many more opportunities to come.

Puddles. Great! Love the idea and well executed. Super juxtaposition of hard dry rock and water. Well seen filipe.

Olá Filipe também fui convidada a participar no tema Water. No entanto não tive tempo de tirar fotografias dedicadas à água e coloquei umas que tinha e ainda não tinha colocado.
Gosto das tuas poças, especialmente do brilho.

@badala: Obrigado Badala, acho que estas iniciativas precisam ser melhoradas ao nivel da sua organização pois torna-se complexo no inicio!
Bronnie from New Zealand
Great eye there Filipe! I love this interpretation, the dry rock really makes the puddles seem 'wetter'!!

Hey filipe this time it was Damon! http://electro.aminus3.com/about/
Like the hard, sharp rocks surrounding those striking white puddles.

@Jen: Cheers Jen!:)

Hey Filipe! As Daroru mentioned all credit goes to Damon! This was set up entirely by him! Very nice take on the theme Here Filipe, the contrast between solid and liquid and the naturally desaturated nature of the scene makes for a striking image. Nicely done.

Excelente fotografia e muito apropriada ao tema. Correm no meu Hagakure dois temas. Ambos relacionados com a água. A ver nos próximos dias.

Damon Schreiber from Toronto, Canada
I love how when it's time to show water you turn your attention inland, away from the sea you so often show. This is the sign of a creative mind. I love the water here: they look like pools of light. Thanks for your help in making this theme a success, Filipe!

@Damon Schreiber: I was seeing your work on water and liked for the indirect form as you treated the subject. On basis of a circular form (element of tension) you develop a visual way for the viewer. On the other side, I detach your presence in the reflex that gives a symbolic sense to the work. Really nice Damon!
@H.O: Thank you for your visit H.O.!
Alfredo J. Martiz J. from Tokyo, Japan
Great shot Filipe, the contrast between the shiny puddles and the stone is wonderful!
