Every so often
I find a photographer
and study his/her works for inspiration.
Have you heard of W.E.Garrett?
He has worked for National Geographic
And has photographed quite extensively in Asia.
I found this image of his particularly inspiring.

Cambodia 1968 by W.E.Garrett
Out of an entire book of images,
this is the one stuck with me.
I love the neutral colored textures.
I love the pop of red.
I love the human element.
I love how the window frames the subject.
I love the composition.
On a recent trip to a zoo,
his image popped into my head.
Here is the result.
Eye of the Crane
Elmwood Park Zoo, Norristown, PA
When I saw this Sandhill Crane
I saw some of the things I loved.
The neutral textures.
The pop of red.
A life element, although not human.
The framing of the eye,
The composition.
I am pretty happy with this image
and I don't think I would have captured it
had I not studied the works of W.E.Garrett!
And since Cambodia is not even on my bucket list,
this will have to do.
Come along....The Party's Here!
And be sure to Get Social. I love bumping into my friends in cyberspace too!

i much prefer yours over the other... that eye is amazing and so is the photo. but i do like the faces that are in the walls of the photo.. i had to sit and stare to find the faces carved out of the stones... great idea to get ideas by studying others. i have tried looking at photos and they make me feel inspired. as in wheni went to your photographs of Philly.... the thing is i am inspired but then i don't see like you do
Your photo is stunning, the delicate layers of feathers lead you to the prize. Absolutely beautiful.
Your image is just beautiful!! I have never studied photography or even taken a class. I "take" pictures for fun!!
Beautiful photographs - I've never thought to take photographs in that way. Stunning #ThePhotoGallery
I never think about studying other photographers too much, but you showed us a good reason to study them. Great photos, both his and yours!
Wow ,love that crane. I think of impressionist painters a lot when on a shoot looking at colors and textures.
Your crane photo is absolutely stunning.
Oh WOW. This is a fantastic picture, Rebecca, and I love that you thought of W.E. Garrett when you captured it. Wow.
What a terrific photo - a great eye and photo - works every way - what a great comparison to the Garrett photo, also beautiful.
I can see why you're pleased with your photo! It's much prettier and appealing to me than the other one.
Both shots are awesome!
Wonderful. Sometimes I want to get too much in the photo. Hope I can continue to learn from you.
