Bruce, if you mean "man's intrusion" to nature's world, then I am sorry to tell you but you missed the target in the eyes of this very viewer. Technically excellent as usual, but I am confused by what I see and the title. Boris Bruce Dayton wrote: > Taken on a morning walk yesterday. > > Pen

Well, I'll need to go back and see if I can improve. One interesting aspect to this discussion is what you have termed 'ordinary' - the reason I say this is because of what each of us perceive. The location that you live has a lot to do with what ordinary things are. I have some friends who grew

I find the scene a little too ordinary, a little too busy, and a little underwhelming in establishing a contrasting context to be worth of a grandiose title like "Man's Intrusion". Sure, it's a pretty common scene of not-very-pretty pilings, but so what? It's a jumble of bits of trees and s

Mmmm ... not exactly. What I am saying is that the title takes away from what I think you're trying to do with this, and that while it may be stronger without the title, revisiting the scene and working with it some more may garner a stronger result and greater impact. After thinking about the pi

Sort of my thoughts, too. I'll probably revisit and see if I can improve on the shot. -- Best regards, Bruce Tuesday, January 9, 2007, 12:24:00 AM, you wrote: MM> It reminds me of the ugly expressway bridge the built directly over the MM> river Sihl here in the city of Zurich. MM> A good exam

So are you saying that without a title it hits the mark? This is something that I intend to revisit and see if I can improve upon this at all. -- Bruce Tuesday, January 9, 2007, 5:55:42 AM, you wrote: SB> I think I understand what you're trying to do with this one, but, imo, it SB> misses the

I think I understand what you're trying to do with this one, but, imo, it misses the mark (as i see the mark to be). I believe the photo could be stronger with a different (or even non-existent) title, as the title has led me to some expectations. It's nicely done from a technical point, that's f

It reminds me of the ugly expressway bridge the built directly over the river Sihl here in the city of Zurich. A good example how it should not be done :-( greetings Markus -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Bruce Dayton Sent: Monday, January 08

Why do I like this shot? Hmmm...Maybe it's the irony of finding concrete pillars standing where one expects trees to be standing. Compositonally, the pillar 2/3 of the way to the right is a bit of a problem. Rick --- Bruce Dayton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Taken on a morning walk yesterday.

Nicely seen, Bruce. I think it would, also, work well if the horizontal span were cropped off. It might even make a more intriguing statement. Jack --- Bruce Dayton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Taken on a morning walk yesterday. > > Pentax K10D, A 70-210/4, Handheld > ISO 400, f/8 > > http://w
