A Look Into the Past

Some family ancestors...recent and distant

[JackieR]

Oh this is ingenious so clever and brilliant

[Susan Wakely]

I like this very much.

[Taffy]

Clever half and half - colors blend and the halves contrast.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

I like your combo of past and present so nicely divided in half!

[Kathy]

Very nice.

[Leslie]

great half and half

[Kathy]

Nice half and half. I like the lighting very much and the shallow dof.

[Esther Rosenberg]

Nice half and half.

[Kathy A]

Very nice photo, I like it.

[Lou Ann]

A great half and half.

[GaryW]

Cool perspective!

[Shutterbug]

Love how you did this half&half. Love the contrasting brown and yellow to accentuate the halves.

[Marilyn Wigen]

So many contrasts! Plain and decorated. Focus and out of focus. Dark background and light. Straight lines and soft “lines.” Well done.

[summerfield]

very right brain thinking. i like it. aces!

[Diane]

Nice half and half. Intriguing the way the portraits of ancestors are out of focus, but still present, like the past.

[Terri]

A fun way to look into the past. A bit of a mystery as to what is there.

[Mary Siegle]

As others have said, the shallow depth of field work so well here. Normally one might expect the half of the picture with objects in it to be the part in focus, but the visual reinforcing the title is perfect.

[Diana]

What a great shot, I ditto all the above.

[Jacqueline]

Cool half half

[Cazzi]

A great title for your h&h - very cleverly thought out.

[Tunia McClure]

and an old trunk?

[Corinne C]

This is a great perspective, it makes us want to know more :-)

It was a total HA (happy accident) I did not intentionally focus on the wall in the foreground and was very happily surprised to see that my lack of attention and skill created such an interesting result. I am beyond thrilled that you think I have this much talent! Many of you read something into it that I had not intended and I praise you for the insight. You are all the best in my book!

@randystreat thanks for commenting twice♥

[katy]

@tunia yes an old trunk too. I slept in that when I was a baby

[Marilyn Wigen]

@grammyn I missed the trunk. 🤦

[katy]

@marilyn Understandable. The pictures on the wall really were more important
