standing on my own
i actually shot this last year.
just as the autumn flowers were blooming along sparks lane in cades cove, on a wonderful foggy morning. i thought it was so cool how this one flower was standing away from all the rest on the fence post. thought of the title immediately. had been debating about showing to the public or not for awhile (and i didnt want to overwhelm people with a bunch of uploads)
something about this wildflower being on it’s own symbolized something along the lines of my own life, do hope you enjoy

thanks joan, i was really drawn to this, almost as if it whispered, hey take my pic, loved how it was growing all by itself away from the rest, and thanks for that between the lines message ;)

Beautiful soft shot Chris, and the title is perfect as joan said… We all need to take heed of this and not go with the mob – listening to our own hearts and minds I think :) Lovely image, just lovely :)

Nothing better than A foggy morning in the cove and the flowers just compliment the photo more. Dave

I’m glad you decided to post this, Chris. It’s very lovely. There is always beauty in simplicity. I like the way you saw yourself in this flower and it spoke to you. (By the way, you remind me of e e cummings, the great poet, who never capitalized anything! You have that same distinct characteristic which makes you “stand on your own.”)

Beautiful Shot, love to see the fog shots.

Excellent Chris,
We should all be more quiet and let the pictures talk to us!
My first sale on a different sight was a statue in NYC. The tremendous amount of people all around, but as soon as I saw that statue I knew I had to get his picture!
Good luck, and take care, Linda

Lovely off-center flower and fencepost in the foreground, Christopher! It’s as if you used the fence lines as thirds. Well, almost. And you feel a connection with the flower and title? Excellent viewed large.
