Looking at the recent gallery submissions, I was reminded of the reasons we take/create pictures. My selections are representative of those reasons. To creatively express ourselves:
1. Dean’s image is a carefully arranged and photographed still life. As is his style, he selected a number of items to help tell the “story”. ![](https://i.ibb.co/Fb2pwgL/Screen-Shot-2023-08-06-at-6-02-54-PM.png) 2. It is always a pleasure to see Jim’s beautiful roses. In this instance he has elevated the rose with some books and added textures for a finished look. To document our travels:1. Kathy continues to share pictures from her recent trip. I found this black and white image of the three men from Mumbai intriguing. Had me wondering what they were looking at? ![](https://i.ibb.co/0q7GmBY/Screen-Shot-2023-08-06-at-6-03-48-PM.png) 2. Howard is another well-traveled member. What I especially liked about his Cotswolds scene was the foreground interest of the young woman on the steps and the animals grazing in the background. To hone our skills:It takes skill and patience to capture those fleeting moments in wild-life photography that make an image standout. The interaction between this mother duck and duckling by Pat is a great example. To remember the special people and pets who mean so much to us:Eddie was Jim’s much-loved dog . I like the creative way he framed him in the back window of the van and added his name to the license plate. ![](https://i.ibb.co/Br7JwP1/Screen-Shot-2023-08-06-at-6-04-46-PM.png)
Thank you to everyone who added pictures to their galleries for this round. The selected images will be added to the 2023 IOW Gallery.
