Ella Morton has a nice collection of natural pictures above and bellow the water. I like the 'lighting painting' series, I know all my photography friends will say, over done and over rated technique, but like a moth to the flame I kept look at them. I am sure the nature works took a long time and a lot of effort to make. Technically they are good work. I am not sure what the work says and that might be my failing because I am looking for something more than what is captured right there in front of me, but non the less, I am a little boarding. The exposure of moving lights impress me because of the stage element with the mysterious narrative. However, the underwater images have a much better composition than any of the moving light images. Mostly because there is a more off centering taking place that cuts down on the implied symmetry. Although the lights caught my attention, I started to slowly dislike the symmetrical nature of some of the images. Slowly I became more attracted to the sea pictures, because the images are more abstract in composition. I'm waffling, but first impressions often times don't truly get to the root of the art image. One has to think them over while relooking.
