The 25th day of the second month of the year of the Camellia




CROP~CIRCLES


Follow up to "You've got to be there". Once you get there you need to know what it is that you are seeing.

I think that last sentence also applies to just travelling, taking in the sites, and enjoying what it really is we are seeing. Whether we are photographing or not. Vision is funny....the picture is always in the mind's eye, but the mind might not always translate some details immediately.

This a green anole lizard found all over the south. The photo on the bottom is nice, but cluttered with some out of focus bits and pieces. Looking at it carefully, and later after the heat of the shooting moment, the image reveals something altogether different.

By tightly cropping the photo to reveal the "Circles" and the image is totally redefined. It is no longer just a green anole.
