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.

My first thought was to take you back to Sedona. There is no doubt, the red-rock landscape in Arizona chimes in as one of the finest, and the most dramatic in the world.  You have been to Subway Cave with me before. Yes, this was the place I hauled a white gown in my backpack to celebrate an anniversary. It was also a chance to see others reactions to the view, just after sunrise.

Then again, the White Rim Trail in Canyonlands defines dramatic. This is especially true when you understand you are off the grid, and civilization is over an hour away.  The contrasting views are humbling enough, and do you also notice the person on the left to bring perspective this vast and awe-inspiring place?

Jump to the city, and we discover street performers from Bolivia. Their facial expressions, just as dramatic as their vibrant, freeform dance.

And just in case you want to keep your identity and expressions to yourself, the shops and kiosks of the Italian markets have the look you need. The dramatic color and designs of the traditional masks are most popular during the annual Festival of Carnevale, prior to Ash Wednesday. The large party is a chance to get naughtiness out prior to the Easter season, and is a favorite of visiting tourists. 

Finally I bring you home to a family weekend-getaway over the holidays.  Anyone else find the angel(s) absolutely stunning?  Personally, I enjoyed capturing the light on the angels throughout the day.

But...the rest of the family found it quite funny to think there were two weeping angels, on the nightstands in the master bedroom suite. 

Drama.

Be well, live, love and laugh….
