Re: Waterworks 2
This is so mush better than Waterworks 1. IMO #1 was just a recording, this is a photograph. The funny thing is that comparing the makes me think of street photgraphy. The first one is a distant snap, but here you shows cojones and walks closer, facing the beast. Just like in good street photo. The first one is so respectful towards the buildng that it reveals nothing about the building. I hope this makes sense to you. Because this is the main differense between those of your shots I like, and those I don't. No offense intended.

Re: Waterworks 2
Thanks, Godfrey. I know what you mean; I played with this for the better part of an hour, but couldn't seem to improve on the original. The background on the right bugs me particularly, but I don't have the PS savvy to remove it, and cropping it out proved too damaging.

Comments welcome. The colour, lighting and contrast in this shot is fantastic, the columns have a surreal perspective, they look interestingly out of place I suspect due to the fact that the tops aren't visible. It's so much more dramatic than the first shot of the series. The only thing that bothers me is the blue and green visible at the right however even if you could have shot the image with that area out of the frame I suspect that you would have lost the great effect on the columns as you would have been shooting them faced squarer onto the sun. Very interesting shot, I hope you filled your memory cards whilst you were there, it seems like a great subject. -- Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://picasaweb.google.com/distudio/PESO http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~distudio//publications/ Pentax user since 1986, PDMLer since 1998 -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
Re: Waterworks 2
Brian, What intrigued me was the lines--columns, shadows, clapboards, gable, the ridges on the roof, even the pattern in the bricks. I wasn't thinking in terms of foreground and background, really, except to try to minimize the railroad bridges and highways on the right. Thanks for your comments.

RE: Waterworks 2
I like this one Rick. It clearly communicates an idea of strength to me. he close foreground wall or structure on the far right of the frame could go, if you ask me. It pulls my eye way from the rest of the image. I might also consider cropping from the top down so the little bit of sky above the building roof between the two pillars is not visible.
