My salute to Aussie rock legend Richard Clapton
Blue bay blues
Janie – see how good the sky looks today,
I’ll bet they’re having fun up in Byron Bay – all our friends,
Oh I’m feeling just a little bit blue
I can tell it’s been getting to you too – trying to make sense,

And the sun – is shining up the end of the road
We don’t even know where it goes,
We’re outsiders without even knowing why;

AND I’VE GOT THOSE BLUE BAY BLUES
I’VE GOT THOSE BLUE BAY BLUES

Nowadays – we don’t see so many friends here in town,
But I try not to let it get me down – guess they all got out,
I remember when we thought that we could fight it -
I guess we got born in the wrong time – hid by clouds,

And the sun – is shining up the end of the road
We don’t even know where it goes,
We’re outsiders without even knowing why;

AND I’VE GOT THOSE BLUE BAY BLUES
I’VE GOT THOSE BLUE BAY BLUES

From day to day I get less sure
Of where the other guy is going -
He’s acting just as if he knows it all,
But the seeds of doubt are sown

And the sun – is shining up the end of the road,
We don’t even know where it goes,
We’re outsiders without even knowing why;

AND I’VE GOT THOSE BLUE BAY BLUES.

    really beautiful Louise – love the way it is composed and how it draws you in – a wonderful example of solitude. Love how the person is silhouetted and the slight vignetting holds all of this together.

    What a beautiful image,I like the blue tones and those strong lines which draw me straight to that person standing at the end of the pier,fabulous Louise.

    Everything about this image says you got everything just right. The pov, the interest, the tones and best of all the ‘magic.’ Well done Louise.

  • Louise Cooke replied

    Thank you so much Elaine for your very kind words :))

    great image, lou – the sky. the figure – i’m especially intrigued that the water is rippled on one side and smooth on the other. A dreamy feel to this

  • Louise Cooke replied

    Thank you Nadine…yes, it’s kind of weird…maybe a gust had just briefly swept across at the moment. I’m going to go back and look at the others I took on that jetty!

  • Louise Cooke replied

    thank you for letting me know, because it was a brief spot of glory, as it’s now gone!!! LOL! Maybe they got it all wrong??!!!

    Love the lead in with the jetty and its magic texture. The lighting on the water is spot on too. Well taken. John

  • nadine henley

    nadine henley

    well, yes, a stunning 1st place, lou! against hundreds, I hear. Congratulations, again. I’m sure that figure adds so much additional appeal to what is already a stunning shot – scale, movement, emotion. Maybe I’ll have to get people in my shots more!

  • Louise Cooke replied

    awh thanks so much Nadine! not quite “hundreds” but gee that makes it sound more impressive! That’s my sis out there.. she was a bit over me by the end of the shoot!
