Re: PESO - Down In Indiana

I would like to see it cropped to an 8 x 10, losing the truck.

Of course, I’m feeling especially contrary lately.

Re: PESO - Down In Indiana

2017-07-04 Thread Marnie (aka Doe)

Ditto, what she said. Double.

For me, the fence, because it is parallel to the viewer and is not a 
leading line, doesn't add much. Truck? Maybe. I think it would have been 
a great photo without fence and without truck. Just sky and house and 
barn and lots and lots of field. But preference given to the sky.


My $.02.

RE: PESO - Down In Indiana

2017-07-03 Thread John Coyle
I went back to this one in view of the concerns some have mentioned, and I must 
say the truck
doesn't bother me: in fact, I think it adds to the composition.  My eye went 
immediately to the red
barn, as one might expect, and then travelled to the right along the arc to the 
truck, before going
to the sky.  My only quibble would be I would have gone as close to the fence 
as possible to look
over the top of the rusty wire and posts!

The barn placement troubles me.
It must be the strong color and near
center location. 
The insignificant wire fence has no role and the far elements fail to supply 
the necessary weight to
count them as points of interest.
Admit having looked at this only on

Re: PESO - Down In Indiana

2017-07-03 Thread Jack Davis
The barn placement troubles me.
It must be the strong color and near
center location. 
The insignificant wire fence has no role and the far elements fail to
supply the necessary weight to count them as points of interest.
Admit having looked at this only on
my cell.

The sky is the thing for me. - but the barn is just right and the fence 
is fine too -- if I started getting nit-picky I would just say that it 
isn't that there is an object on the far right (the truck) but that the 
truck is too modern looking - the barn and the fence look like they 
could be from an earlier time.
Is your truckless frame the same in all other regards?  would like to 
see that

I disagree. The barn is the focal point, the others add to the scene. For 
instance, Bruegel's paintings & Giles' cartoons mostly have things going on 
in the background (often naughty) which adds interest & compels the viewer 
to look a bit deeper.

This looks great on my computer, and it’s substantially sized. But it was small 
and didn’t play well on my phone. Don’t know why. 

Great shot. Love the fence going one way, and the truck moving off in another 
direction. And of course the barn is a classic, and it’s perfectly placed in 
frame. Well done!

With that "big sky," are you sure it wasn't Montana?  
The sky is, to me, the main feature of the image, but I think it is
inclusion of the foreground fence that makes the shot special.

Great sky.

I usually love your shots, it's strange to me to say I have some 
quibbles. Something about the placement of the barn, re fence and 
passing truck isn't pleasing to me. (Too many focal points? Not sure.)


I would have walked closer to the fence to leave it out. (I'd say crop
