End frame: The Old Pond by Krister Berg
The viewer’s eye is drawn to a solitary water lily in the lower right corner of the image. It is then guided horizontally toward the bright grass on the left and follows a gentle upward path toward the water lily leaves, which are thoughtfully distributed across the lower branch silhouette. more
End frame: The”Awakening Dragon” by Alister Benn
When I look at the Awakening Dragon, I might or might not know anything about where and when the photo was taken, what Alister had in mind, what mood he was in, or what was going on in his life. It doesn't matter to me as a viewer. more
End frame: Mussels in the Sand by Theo Bosboom
The strong contrast between the black and blue mussels and the light, partly transparent stones makes the eye jump between the shells. The dark color of the colonies contrasts with the orange sand bed. more
End frame: Ash tree, Balmacara by Colin Prior
In this autumnal palette, death does not mean the end but a transformation. The ash resists mourning its loss and does not shrink from its bareness. The elder stands with a quiet confidence, unshaken, an echo of strength. more
End frame: Papaver Nudicale by Tine Poppe
The flowers, just past their peak and beginning to wilt, are set against the smoky, foggy and greyed landscape backgrounds, which evoke the tumult and terror of Romantic era painters working in nature’s Sublime. more
End frame: Big Horn Sheep and Mesa Arch, Canyonlands National Park by Whit Richardson
On the day Whit made this image, he arrived early and photographed sunrise from these more conventional perspectives. After some time close to the arch, he walked farther back to experiment with compositions at a distance. more
End frame: Flow, by Simon Baxter
When I was asked to write this piece and given the freedom to choose any photograph, I chose the photographer first. It's the photographer who makes the image never the other way around. I admire Simon’s approach to photography. It is clear in what he says, how he works more
End frame: Nuevo Laredo, Mexico 1996, by Alex Webb
I have long admired this image, and it was the first one, not a landscape image, that popped into my mind after reading Charlotte's invite. more
End frame: Alaskan Arctic Circle in spring, Caribou wandering in a herd by Michio Hoshino
One evening following dinner in the cook shack at the Alaska McNeil River State Game Sanctuary and Refuge, Michio Hoshino showed me a prepublication book of his photographs. more
End Frame: Autumn Delta by Magnus Lindbom
The photograph I have chosen as the subject of this article, “Autumn Delta” by Magnus Lindbom, speaks to us as much of its creator as the ephemeral beauty of the landscape he has captured. more
End frame: The Hidden Tree by Theo Bosboom
I was immediately captivated by his fascinating universe: there are many ways to showcase creativity in an image, and for me, this represents artistic expression at its finest. more
End frame: Plastic, Perception, and Persistence by Mandy Barker
Mandy’s process is deceptively simple. She photographs fragments of our plastic-infested oceans gathered on the shores and then laid on a black fabric background with just the sun to light up the sculptural waste. more
End frame: Black Range series 1986-89 Ian Lobb
The Black Range series by Australian photographer Ian Lobb and collected by the National Gallery of Victoria, has always been a great source of inspiration to me. more
End frame: Mokoto Pass by Paul Gallagher
The trees are like three actors, with the central one taking the ‘Oscar’. The others have supporting roles but are critical in the achieving the dynamic balance this image has. more
End frame: Zen Shadows in Snow by Nicholas Bell
Beyond aesthetics, Nicholas’s work embodies the qualities that I value and strive for in my own photography. Subtlety, nuance, simplicity, and stillness are all traits that characterize his work. more
