Hi, Boris, I like it. I'm not sure just why, but I find it strangely compelling. An urban still life, I guess. Nice, sharp detail in the foreground, nicely fading focus. Interesting composition: I like the geometry of the bench slats "converging", I like the contrast of the round orange up front. The bare branch seems to add some serendipity to the whole thing. B&W is the perfect choice for this - colour would have been too obvious, and this way we concentrate on the form, not the colour. I still don't know why I like this, but I do. I have a still life that I've been sitting on for too long; after all the people photos I've posted lately, I have to get that one printed up. Thanks for the inspiration. I still am not sure why I like yours, but I do. I find it pleasing. thanks, frank ===== "The optimist thinks this is the best of all possible worlds. The pessimist fears it is true." -J.
