Re: Longwood Gardens: Ornaments
I like the introduction of the photographer in the second one! I have a thing about reflected images introducing another dimension to photography/art.
There's a very old famous painting by Jan van Eyck of (Marriage of Arnolfini etc) and the artist painted himself in the mirror! This painting is interesting, from a photographic view, as the modern day artist David Hockney uses it as part proof that the old masters used a 'Camera Obscura' to aid painting. Similar to how some artists use photographs to help their art.

I could not avoid being reflected but I did try to place myself accordingly. The door, window, and skylight did introduce a distance that was appealing to me.

You always find exquisite pieces to shoot, JBTaylor.
Lovely shots. That lens produces beauty... The tree must have been a work of art as a whole as well.
Thanks for sharing,

Thanks Yildiz.
If I had to choose 1 lens to keep, it would be the 135mm 1.8.
