Great post! Photography, particularly as an art form, is almost always an exercise in creative problem solving. Realizing a final image that matches the one you have in mind involves balancing many, many factors.
Nicely written post, and great images!
Thanks for your comment, and you're absolutely right. Photography really is about more than just taking attractive pictures. It's about realising your creative vision and conveying it in visual form. Thanks again for your feedback :)
