William Robb ========== Disagree. Even though, Bruce, you've done quite a few of these, I do not find them overly repetitive. There are some similarities, so you could branch out a little. But I also think you can still get a lot more out of what you are doing. You have not exhausted it yet by a long shot. I find taking a bit of nature and isolating it is a nice way to present nature. Sort of like the "found object" thing in art. Makes us appreciate the simple details of Mother Nature. Makes us LOOK at the details. Savor them. I vote strongly on the other side. You certainly do not need to stop what you are doing. As said, you might branch out a bit. In whatever direction you choose. But I find your presentations bordering on the unique (maybe they are, but I haven't seen that many other photos except those on this list). Sort of nature haiku. Or short nature poems. Like a kid picking up a bit of nature. Grabbing a rock, a leaf, whatever that they find that they like. Hmmm, maybe branch out with some rocks? Hehehehe. Kids know how to appreciate small nature details like that. And it's something a lot of us lose. Your stuff reminds me. So please keep it up. Generally, I find cat pictures boring. And, yes, most of them are repetitive. A lot of things are. Ansel Adams shot a bunch of rocks over and over. So something is a little repetitive. So what?
