An example of how you draw the viewer in and grab ahold so he/she cannot immediately escape until some understanding of the image is had.

Product Review Image

I bought this in the greeting card form. I have been purchasing cards from Fine Art America for two or three years. Covid might have been some of the reason for looking for cards on the internet. Shops were closed. The main reason I buy cards from FAA is because I got tired of looking for cards at the usual card shops. I could find cards (sometimes) that looked good on the outside but the verses were terrible or it was the other way around...terrible on the outside but maybe a decent verse inside. I pick cards from FAA that fit with the occasion. I figure I can write something on the inside as good as any card company could. I wouldn't buy these cards if I didn't think they were wonderful. The cards are beautiful and excellent quality and the envelopes are equality as good. I am glad I can make a copy of what I've bought so I can keep track of who gets what card. I don't want to send the same card to someone twice. In this case, the card is going to someone for Mother's Day.

Artist's Description

The name for this photo came to me as I was standing there taking the photo! Mangrove trees grow up and out like most trees, but there root system is amazing to look at. As the tree trunk gets taller it will send root stems down. Some times the stems will divide too! All of this serves two purposes! One is to get nutrients from the water and sand. And two is to anchor the tree so that it dose not wash away. Coastal storms can be very hard on normal trees like oaks and pines. They would just be washed away by a hurricane. But not mangroves. They are natural protection from erosion, and in Florida it is against the law to cut them down!!! So as the roots reach for the earth the trunk and breaches reach for the sky!! I hope you enjoy this photo I call "Reaching For Earth And Sky"!!! This photo was shot on Emerson Point Preserve, in Florida.

About Marvin Spates

Marvin Spates

Hi my name is Marvin Spates, and I am a fine art photographer. I love shooting landscape and nature photos. I am a resident of the Tampa Bay area. No matter if you are a collector looking for art, or a fellow artist!!! I recommend you read my descriptions on each photo. This way you can connect with the way I was feeling, thinking, or see what I was enduring as I shot each photo!! We have fantastic sunsets and sunrises no matter what time of the year in my area. Most of my work is with color, but I also have a fond love for black and white. I think I love black and white just as much as I love color!!!! There is tons of variety in the things that I like to shoot. Something new that I have added is digital textures and painterly effects. I...
