A fairly subjective (and perhaps controversial) question: What makes a good photograph? For me, it is its ability to evoke a feeling, a thought, an emotion. I find that certain photographs have an energy that is contagious. Detail shots are often overlooked; I see far fewer detail shots submitted than I do other photographs. Yet, a detail shot can be so expressive and so captivating.
This photograph from @ardenphoto is a detail shot I absolutely love; the position of the hands, the henna, the intricate fabric, tell a story. The lighting, the sharp foreground, the out of focus background create a mood.
What story do you see in this photograph?
Happy Friday.

I see excitement and the anticipation of tomorrow. Beautiful image!
Beautiful….
I also love to see how every photograph has a little bit of the photographer in it. This image is delicate, soft and elegant, just like Arden!
I absolutely love the idea of one photograph a day. Even with my own blog it can be a bit much with all the images. This is a serene place where one’s eyes can rest upon the image and enjoy the details. I am excited about becoming a regular visitor.
That’s fantastic… love the gold on top.
