Not just nailed... by

Yesterday, I was looking at last years photo’s and was again surprised by the beauty of Nailed and it got me inspired to do something like that again… The result is still quite different but in an other way again beautiful, at least to me…

Canon EOS 60D, Tokina AT-X Pro D 100mm F2.8 Macro

About Bob Daalder

Bob is especially interested in ‘the soul’ of the things without one, the expressiveness of the lifeless, the essence of material….. macro photography, ‘things’ in particular.
‘Things’ don’t have the tendency to walk away, to fly, to move, to have a meaning, are always present and do not complex, have patience, don’t nag etc. etc….. As Bob wrote in his profile… “I like it simple!”…

    It’s hard to say which I like more: the subject or the BG. I’m torn.
    I think you’ve nailed it though.

    (Yeah. That was bad. ;)

  • It’s up to you… I don’t mind your preference… not because I’m not interested but because I know you can make your own choices… thanks for the lovely comment Birgitta!

    Oh no- this kind of torn doesn’t have a choice. That’s the beauty of it. ;) Both sides of a thing are appreciated equally, so the implication is that no choice can be made. (I use that term because I’m a fan of both still life and massive blur.)

  • no choice can be a choice too imo…. but I got your dilemma!
