Share a picture of CURVES and explain why you chose that picture!
‘A photograph,’ it has been said, ‘shows the art of nature rather than the art of the artist.’ This is mere nonsense, as the same remark might be applied equally well to all the fine arts. Nature does not jump into the camera, focus itself, expose itself, develop itself, and print itself. On the contrary, the artist, using photography as a medium, chooses his subject, selects his details, generalizes the whole in the way we have shown, and thus gives his view of nature. This is not copying or imitating nature, but interpreting her, and this is all any artist can do. ~Henry Emerson *

Your photos are spectacular, and I agree with the thought on Photography as well: it is an “art of the artist,” as you demonstrate clearly in this post.
Thank you for the validation
Do not follow the ideas of others
but learn to listen to the voice within yourself.
Your body and mind will become clear
and you will realize the unity of all things.

The appearance in the mind of undesirable and ignoble
thoughts, even if they are fleeting and only half-
articulate, has an unplesant effect upon one’s self-esteem.
