Lens- Artists Challenge #282 – Dramatic

This week’s Lens-Artists challenge is hosted by Patti at https://pilotfishblog.com. She asks us to consider: ”what makes a photo dramatic? Maybe it is processed in black and white, or it has vivid colors. Maybe a person, place, or object is captured from a unique perspective or it is a macro shot. This week, we’ll explore some characteristics of dramatic images and some ways to add drama to photos.”

Whenever I want to see something dramatic, all I have to do is look up.

A crescent moon high in a night sky has a sense of the dramatic.

Then there are sunsets as viewed from our patio.

Clouds don’t need color to be dramatic. Do you see an angel in one of these photos?

The open sky of St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge is often dramatic.

The evening sky at Elinor Klapp-Phipps Park, a once-favorite place to hike, could be dramatic at times.
(These photos were taken about 10 years ago. That’s the back of my head in the first one.)

Finally, no drama here. Just a warm memory of Raji getting cozy with “uncle” Junior (RIP).


Next week’s challenge will be led by Ann-Christine/Leya, so be sure to visit her site next Saturday for some inspiration.

  1. Loving the new look of your blog, Marie. Very sparse and clean.
    I also love that the first sunset photo also has a crescent moon in the corner.
    Beautiful dramatic shots, indeed.

    • Aw, you make me blush, John! The angel is the second photo of the three daytime clouds. I had shared the photo on Facebook and one of my friends said it looked like an angel. So now I see an angel ;-)
