Credit Where It is Due
I like to make photographs, and I enjoy being praised for what I have done. But God teaches a different attitude, one of thankfulness and humility. He pointed that out to me recently. I DO NOT MAKE THESE PHOTOGRAPHS ALONE. I didn't create the light, or the technology which makes photography possible. I didn't buy my camera, it was a gift from my husband. I didn't give myself the ability to see through the camera in order to make an image which others find pleasing. It is right to use what I have been given to the best of my ability, but it is wrong to take credit for what I have not done. God made the light, the elements which are used to manufacture the camera, and the world from which these images come. He has given me gifts: people to teach me, eyes to see with, and a brain to process information. I am thankful for these gifts. He deserves all the praise, not I.

Neat. I am a color person but have a great appreciation for B&W.
Lovely photograph...like mercury or velvet.
Have a great weekend!
Welcome!
You've caught a beautiful light here.
The white is so pure...what a great monochrome!
I like the lighting on the needles so much.
You have utilized the light very well - very nice details!
Lovely image, I like your water reflections very much.
I agree with your comment about the clock thing on mine, it was not what I was focused on at the time, but decided to keep it in the shot...
Neat shot Dimple. I must get busy and get some close-ups in B&W. You're inspiring me.
Such interesting color and texture! Very Nice shot!
It's a great close up in B&W. So lovely...
Thanks for visiting :)

Really nice lighting with the contrast of the background. Thank you for your comment today.
hi dimple...this black and white picture is so nice!
i am partial to black and white because when i was a kid that is all you could get!
there is so much character in it.
dimple i like the way that you have spread your followers right at the beginning of the page.
how did you do that dimple?
thanks for all of your kind visits to me...love terry
What a great photo..the lighting is perfect.
The back lighting works really well here.
Terrific capture, Dimple! The lighting is indeed perfect and I love the lighting on the needles! Hope your weekend is going well!

Nice shot, the light is lovely.
A delightful shot! The needles look so softly illuminated in contrast with the darker background shapes!
The needles have the look of outstretched hands - what a lovely effect as a negative! The pacific northwest with the finest evergreens (in a negative of course :>)
You are really a wonderful photographer. You could open a studio here!! As far as summer finally arriving to farrr N.Idaho...I'd love it to stay in the 60's with sun and no rain!! not asking for much am I?? We'll be at the Sandpoint July 4th parade probably at the corner near Misty Mtn. Are you going??

Great capture, I love the classic look of monochrome, it can really change the look of a shot!
I like this! I see I'm in good company with everyone liking the lighting. :)
I think the lighting is best reflected in the monochrome process.
It's lovely!
Lovely picture.
Oooh this is very lovely! Striking in b&w!
I agree with the Tulsa Gentleman; the back lighting really works well here. It's very neat to see such an everyday sight in B&W. Striking!
This is very nice in B&W! I love the back lighting!
What a nice photograph! There are silver pines and it looks just like that because of the effect.
Nicely done in monochrome!
Lovely black and white shot !
Have a nice monday :)
