Hold on tight... by marlboromaam

Hold on tight...

This part of my wisteria vine is about three or four years old. It's got a very tight hold on the deck railing now. If I can ever afford a new deck, it will have to be cut back. But for now, I'll let it hold on tight! I thought a little ELO was appropriate for this one. Enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKQsv1Q3ZNY

Have to shut down and unplug for a thunder storm! Be back when it passes!

Very pretty

Beautiful. Like the composition and processing

Gorgeous shot. Hope the storm isn't too bad. We were supposed to have one but it didn't happen.

wonderful processing - I love this album of yours and can never seem to get enough of your shots!

Great shot. You could make it many different things the longer you look at it. Nice detail.

Looks like it is there to stay.

Love the texture that comes out in the B&W.

Wow! I don't think I've ever had such a great response to a pic in my black and white album! Thank you all for the lovely comments! So sorry for the mass reply again. I need to catch up on your pics! The storm wasn't too bad. More wind and thunder and lightning than rain, I'm sad to say.

my wisteria did the same thing and our deck did need replacing...but we managed to build the new one without cutting it off or it breaking...now the new deck has a hole cut on each end for the two wisteria plants to keep winding and growing...maybe I can get a shot of them to post. this is so nice...again...a BW...I WILL try harder to get one posted...but I just love color so much!

@vickisfotos No chance of me getting a new deck anytime soon. LOL! But, if I had to sell my place shortly, the new owners would have to have it cut down. No way to do it without cutting it back. However, I'm sure it would grow back pretty quickly. It was great that you could do your new deck without cutting yours down or back! Give the black and white a try. I think it helps you take better color shots. We were not allowed to take color photography class until we had completed the three prerequisite black and white courses first.

Gorgeous processing and colour tones. Lovely capture.
July 25th, 2012  
Wow...that's a solid hold! Great perspective and lines.
July 25th, 2012  
Beautiful lighting and composition. Very well done, Maggie! I always liked ELO....great energetic sound.
July 25th, 2012

Pretty shot and processing. That is one well established vine. Thanks for the link to the music. It has been a while since I have heard that song.

@gabsview Thank you very much, Gabrielle!

Great shot. The processing gives it a real vintage look. But I have to admit, I thought it was a snake 'holding on tight' to the porch post.
