POTN G-Series Speed Challenge #477- Eagles Hits
I'm taking a page out of Marie's book and using song titles. This time it's from the desert southwest of USA. A photo that illustrates any hit title of one of my favorite rock groups, the Eagles. Whatever you can come up with that goes with a title. I'll include some for you but there are others.
Hotel California
Desperado
Take it to the Limit
Peaceful Easy Feeling
Take it Easy
Tequila Sunrise
Already Gone
Life in the Fast Lane
Witchy Woman
The Heart of the Matter
One of These Nights
I Can't Tell You Why
Long Way Home
Don't forget to include reference to the song title so I know what I'm looking at.
As usual, I'll judge with my minimal understanding of photography and an emphasis on what my heart likes the best! I'll watch for how the photo fits the title. Don't worry about doubling up on titles that someone else used. If you like it, that's fine with me. I hope you have fun with this one.
Teekay: You nailed it. I want to be there. The title and your photo are a natural fit. The coconut in the foreground is, well. it just makes me want to jump into the picture. We've been having such a terrible winter here in western New York. Thank you for helping me remember warm and carefree days.
JimAskew: First of all, I apologize. I was rushing around this weekend (traveling) and I blew the title. I meant to include the title Long Road out of Eden . I'm not sure the Eagles ever put out a song called "long way home" even though I put that title in my list.
Now, with that out of the way, your photo fits Long Road out of Eden like a glove. I mean, it is an exact match, as the song speaks of the soldier's hard road. The haunting thousand yard stare on this sculpted soldier's face is shattering. Your choice of black and white is inspired. Your composition gives life to a static sculpture. I very much appreciate this photo.
Maureen: No need for a title here. I wondered if anybody'd dare to take this song, and who they might offend if they did, but you managed "beautifully". What fun! There's a lot of work in the make-up there. I think you really got the lighting figured out perfectly. Great color. Thanks.
Northants nin: Life in the fast lane. Not maybe what Joe Walsh was picturing in the song, but funny. I got a real chuckle at this Galapagos speeding along. I appreciate the humor, and how many times are you going to get to enter a challenge with a photo of a big tortoise after all? Thank you.
Marie: I kind of expected this to be titled "Life in the Fast Lane" as well! Somehow taking one of those beautiful old steam machines to the limit seems a little scary. I love the smoke and the noise that I can almost hear. It must be a real treat to watch those old-timers out stretching their legs again. Thanks for the photo.
CarloY: OK this one had me. I'm still puzzled about this picture. I love your title, and the fact that you stopped to take a photo of such a different scene. I don't know if you can explain it but I'm itching for more of this story. Just what every family needs: a nice house and two planes in the driveway! Thanks for your submission.
Thank you all for your submissions this week. I drew the winners entirely by my own whimsy.
#3- CarloY-- Life in the fast lane indeed!
#2- Maureen-- Witchy Woman was a difficult title but you did it right.
#1- JimAskew-- OK, well, Long Way Home, or Long Road out of Eden, the photo really tells a difficult and poignant story. Thank you for reminding us of the great sacrifices made by our various nations' guardians on our behalf, which is the point of the song. (I hope everyone reads that with their own nation's servicemen and women in mind). Take it away, Jim.

Reviews for "The magical qualities of "Witchy Woman" – a closer look at The Eagles' masterpiece"
1. John - 1 star - I was very disappointed with "Witchy Woman" by The Eagles. I found the composition to be repetitive and lacking creativity. The melody was monotonous, and the lyrics were uninspiring. Overall, I felt like the song didn't offer anything new or exciting, and it left me feeling bored and unengaged. I wouldn't recommend this track to anyone looking for a fresh and original musical experience.
2. Emily - 2 stars - I have to say, I was expecting more from "Witchy Woman" by The Eagles. The composition felt predictable and formulaic, lacking any real depth or complexity. The lyrics were cliché and lacked a unique perspective. While the vocals were decent, they didn't add anything remarkable to the song. Overall, I found "Witchy Woman" to be forgettable and unremarkable in the grand scheme of The Eagles' discography.
3. Mark - 2.5 stars - While "Witchy Woman" by The Eagles may be a classic rock hit, I personally found it to be overplayed and overrated. The composition lacked the energy and excitement that I usually associate with the band's music. The repetitive chorus and predictable structure made the song feel stagnant. While it may have been groundbreaking at the time of its release, it hasn't aged well for me. I was left underwhelmed and wishing for something more innovative from The Eagles.
