Purrrrr

This triggers the reward synapse in my brain. Good framing, good timing also. You caught the pendulm at just the right point. DOF is a little week in the background but that's ok with me. Under these lighting conditions you did just fine, and the slightly out of focus background dosen't really detract from the image. I like the way this image is offset. Nice work.

Cooooool

Q: What do I know about post-modernism? A: Foucault. (--sorry-- :) -- Picture could use more punch - more contrast and more focus put on the pendulum.

Semiology, my bottom

Physics, rotation of the earth about the universe's fixed point...mind you there is something philosophic about that.....

Another fine addition to what is turning into a very interesting portfolio of black and white work
