Splash 09_17_05.jpg

I often say "don't be afraid to suck". That way of thinking tends to make me experiment. Today was one of those days. It was breezy out in the garden...I went with the flow and just tried to catch the splashes of color. I haven't decide if I sucked yet???

I agree with Gary. If I posted it everybody would say it sucks--and it would because it likely would have been "operator error". But all of us who follow your galleries regularly know of your talent for capturing images and know it was this way because that's how you wanted it. But you've inspired me Bill. I think I'm going to make a gallery called "These Suck" and start posting some of those mistakes I now just delete. That should help me remember what not to do in the future. The problem is it will quickly become my largest gallery!

If I posted this, people would say it sucks! With your past great shots, people accept this as Art... The colors are pretty. I don't see prices Peter Max gets either.

I really like it - the colours are there but given added subtlety by the movement.

I really like this.

It doesn't suck at all, it's a very different image for you, and that makes it good for YOU, PLUS it's kinda cool!
