 BEAUTIFUL! My question is where did you find a lone Mangrove? Mostly they grow so thick you can't get through them. Steve C.

| Re: Creative Interpretations - Mangrove in Skinny Well as you remember of course, late 70's, early 80's devestated the mangrove population but they have made a strong come back. After leaving the Titusville causeway headed east, the refuge areas on both sides of the rode holds some skinny water and lots of these nice single mangroves. They intriuqe me beause the resemble to me that baobob tree talked about so fondly in the great Exupery novel "The Litle Prince." Don't be afraid to lay your magic hands upon it buddy, that's why it's there. c

| Re: Creative Interpretations - Mangrove in Skinny When I saw this one earlier, I thought I it was too wonderful a silhouette and couldn't be improved upon as well Steve; but now decided I would play. |

| Re: Creative Interpretations - Mangrove in Skinny lroll, beautiful......... STEVE, you are an amazing artist and I love collaboration. Some artist consider collaboration the bastardazation of the image, I consider it an honor if someone tries to improve upon my theme. As for the Baobob my friend. I almost spoke to it but did not wish to seem foolish. I have another favorite book and favorite author. I read the short, supposed childrens book at least once a year for some new form of enlightenment. If you have not, tis time to begin. "The Little Prince" by Exuper should speak of your lovely Baobob.

| Re: Creative Interpretations - Mangrove in Skinny Ok, I tried one after much trial and error. Not as happy with it as I am sure Sweetlight was when he first photographed it. Steve C.

| Re: Creative Interpretations - Mangrove in Skinny When Chris first posted this image I had the same reaction as Steve, "If you think I'm gonna mess with this great shot you're SO wrong. BEAUTIFUL!" Unfortunately, I then moved on without sending flowers of praise for this beautiful image. Albeit a little late I shall attempt to rectify that situation now.. Chris, Outstanding Image! A Very Fine Piece Of Work! Awesome looking picture, indeed! As a side note.. Your Flickr pages contain an impressive body of work!  Lyle and Steve, I hate to be the bearer of bad news; but, guys in my opinion your efforts pale compared to the original

| Re: Creative Interpretations - Mangrove in Skinny I definitely like what you did here Steve. I have to admit that I sort of got my inspiration from an ad poster that I saw in the mall (sans water ripple of course) of a gradient silhouette of a lady model being contrast with another gradient for the background. |

Sweetlight insisted that he posted it for us to work on, and I worked on this interpretation for a long while before I posted what you are probably right in terming a pale effort. Steve C.

| Re: Creative Interpretations - Mangrove in Skinny Quote:
Maybe that's the kind of thing we should have done, just added a small object to it, like a ship in the distance etc. Then just let the original stand on it's own. Anyway, now we have seen how a photo can be so good as to be nearly impossible to improve upon. Thank you Sweetlight... Steve C.
