Rejects, batch #1
Okay, gang, I’m nearing the end of my ice series. I have a large number of images left that I’d still like to share with you, but which I’ll group together in sets this week, in somewhat of a haphazard fashion to speed things along, starting tonight. In some ways, these photographs, for one reason or another, didn’t make my final cut when I was sorting through things and trying to decide what to post. So, for that reason, they’ve been booted to my own personal “Salon des refusés.” But that doesn’t mean I deemed these images unworthy of contribution; it just means they didn’t fit whatever my purpose was whenever I posted.
So here, for what it’s worth, is batch #1, of the “refusés”:

I love all of these, Ms. Lemony! Such crisp shots, luscious colors & beautiful compositions. Looking forward to seeing what else you have.

Strangely, as abstract image, I like all of them.
Quite striking !
May be toward the photography, I have much more
tolerable eyes, unlike toward the folding bags 🙂

So glad to stretch your liking a little bit. 🙂 (Funny comment about the bag 🙂 )

Wow…for rejects these are fabulous. I especially love the white bubbles in the first and fourth pictures. Sublime…and filling me with ice envy 🙂 We have had snow and frost, but no proper ice since December!!

I love these-especially the 4th one from the top in black and white.
February 18, 2013 at 1:50 pm
Oh, good! I’m glad you like that one! I wasn’t so sure about posting it. 🙂

I still find it so intriguing that the water was so clear to allow such magnificent images…and I love #6…it looks like the Big Bang…and so beautiful! Well done, Melanie. 🙂

Thank you, Scott. It’s lucky that the water in places is as clear as it is. I’m glad you’re enjoying it!
February 19, 2013 at 4:03 am
You’re welcome…and I’m enjoying them very much!

I think the individual images are even stronger when seen as a series. I like this “rejected batch” very much!
February 18, 2013 at 7:18 pm
Thanks, Julie. I appreciate that feedback. Maybe I should have been showing them in series all along!

These are absolutely brilliant and what a sequence! In fact seen sequentially they are just stunning. The whole series belongs in a book.
February 18, 2013 at 9:54 pm
Thank you so much, Richard. I really appreciate that.
February 19, 2013 at 4:04 am
Your “rejects” are our aspirations. Beautiful! 🙂
February 19, 2013 at 2:05 am
Oh, you are so kind to say that! Your photographs are amazing! I’m glad you like these, thank you.
February 19, 2013 at 4:05 am
I like them, especially the first one.
February 19, 2013 at 7:11 pm
Thank you, Yvonne! I’m glad you like that first one.

I see more jellyfish! Your rejects are divine. : )
