Anthony, there is this strange shadow that comes together on my wall sometimes, a shadow that seems to create a sense of dimension. This is made from one of those shadows and then it is layered with water reflections. Here is another image with that odd shadow: https://drawandshoot.me/2012/09/11/umbra-umber/
Thank you.
Thank you for sharing this with me Karen. I wish I could better express in writing what it is I find so beautiful about your work but I am afraid that I am only a photographer not an artist like you.
Autumn never looked so good (and autumn is already beautiful)
This is very cool! I know it’s a little too early but I was thinking that approach might also work wonderfully with your ‘ice crystals on window panes’ photos from last year.
i often feel that commenting on your photographs is a bit superfluous as they are a.l.w.a.y.s. subtle, graceful and intimate. that’s a given. beautiful landscape/portrait, this.
This is a beautiful picture. I like the interplay between the two natural subjects, and your trademark lightness of touch adds a delightful reserve and charm.
Oblique is a good word; it is literally (an angled cast shadow) and figuratively oblique, I guess. And a self portrait, but what interested me is the way the light sometimes comes together to make shadows that have dimension. There is another example here: https://drawandshoot.me/2012/09/11/umbra-umber/
This image went in a different direction but the idea of “three dimensional” looking shadows fascinates me. What are the possibilities…?
Oh so very intimate, delicate and dreamy .. I thought it must be a self- portrait at first.. or maybe it is ! A dream self portrait if not a real one… 🙂
It’s beautiful. In places, the leaves almost become text, and the light, a sheet. Full of mystery, and you manage to make it look easy but I know it’s isn’t!
Extraordinarily Beautiful. Absolutely Stunning. True. Autumn. Life.
Anthony, thank you so much. Sincerely.
…this is wonderful, Karen!!…
Thank you!!(…smiling a lot…)
Aw, thank you, Kari! I’m happy it puts a smile on your face.
…a radiant one…
inspiring

: ) Autumn is a beautiful time of year for sure.
Thanks, Doug.
I will avoid the other obvious question 😉
Is that lady holding a camera 🙂
Superb
She may very well be holding a camera. : )
Thank you, David!
Outside – inside: beautiful, Karen! 🙂
Hi Marina, thank you. : )
Wonderful effect.
Thank you, Rabirius.

Hi Christian, thank you! Oh, that’s an interesting idea, hmm…
. . . nice leaves . . .
The leaves are lovely this time of year. Lots of them piling up on the ground already. Thanks, Emilio.
Everything is perfect. Without a touch of sentimentality. Are you sure you’re not a European surrealist with a Paris studio in 1935?
If I could time travel, Paris in 1935 might be an interesting place. Much thanks, Steven.
Great photograph!
Thank you, Victor.
There is a lot of beauty in your lovely picture, Karen!
Thank you, Bente, that’s kind of you.
wonderful picture
Much thanks, Shimon.
Absolutely great!
Thanks, Vassilis!
Like a warm embrace.
Marcelo, thank you, that’s a lovely response.
Nice. Thank you! I share on my blog ❤
Thanks very much, Gro! That’s kind of you to share it on your blog.
I love your gorgeous photography too!
🙂
The outside that cannot be tease apart from the inside. Very beautiful Karen,
Yes, that’s it exactly. Thank you, Elena. : )
(teased)-oh, my typing..:) Sorry.
I think if there were prizes for typos I’d be in the running (for first place maybe!).
How charming sweet image !
Thanks, Yoshi!
Looks terrific Karen!
Hi Phil, thank you!
Magic composition!
Thanks for that comment, Lautal!
Stunning image. Very creative.
Thank you, Vicki.
Beautiful – I think of the 40’s I don’t know why.
I think I get your association with the 40’s. Thank you, Carla.
Gorgeous!!! 🙂 xox
Much thanks, Gigi! : )
Oh how beautiful Karen, I love your art so much 🙂
Hi Jocelyne, thanks very much! I’m happy you do. : )
Totally sexy……with a smattering of Klimt.
A touch of Canadiana Kilmt maybe. Thanks, HMS. : )
Superb picture Karen!
Thanks, Adrian.
i often feel that commenting on your photographs is a bit superfluous as they are a.l.w.a.y.s. subtle, graceful and intimate. that’s a given. beautiful landscape/portrait, this.
Thanks so very much for your comment. : )
I think we have a similar connection to the earth.
Simply beautiful.
Thank you very much!
This is a beautiful picture. I like the interplay between the two natural subjects, and your trademark lightness of touch adds a delightful reserve and charm.
Hi Louis, thank you!
So, on this occasion, the poetic is in control. Skating on a glassy surface. Is this an oblique self-portrait? It’s haunting and beautiful.
Oblique is a good word; it is literally (an angled cast shadow) and figuratively oblique, I guess. And a self portrait, but what interested me is the way the light sometimes comes together to make shadows that have dimension.

Thank you, Richard.
Karen, this is a terrific combination.
Thanks, Ehpem! Shadows and water reflections together, I’m glad you like it.
Striking – the delicacy of the human figure, the pose, the light… simply perfect.
Thank you, Alessandro. : )
That’s beautiful, Karen!
Thanks, Allen!
Oh so very intimate, delicate and dreamy .. I thought it must be a self- portrait at first.. or maybe it is ! A dream self portrait if not a real one… 🙂
I guess it’s sort of a self portrait, it’s a shadow layered with water reflections. Thank you, Helen.
It’s marvellous whatever it is 🙂
Another stunning image, Karen. A delicate and beautiful combination.
Great image with poetic layers of meaning.
It’s beautiful. In places, the leaves almost become text, and the light, a sheet. Full of mystery, and you manage to make it look easy but I know it’s isn’t!
wow, so lovely and ethereal! rock on!!
Yay! A self portrait and a beautifully delicate one at that!
WOW! Definitely one of the coolest shots I have seen around here in a while! Nice job. Very creative with subtle sensuality.
I know nothing about art . . . well, except what I like and what I don’t like. This, I like.
great moment !
Thanks very much, Alain.
