A little dig at the orangish nature of some of the recent vote
getters (note: not winners) that calls for a little comment. I once
asked this forum why the orange shots did so well in vote. I suspect
there's some trip some subconscious button in out head. I also suspect
that rich color stands out compared to some of the other shot listed
along side of them. In the past several months there as been some soft
focused, badly lit shots, and traditional wedgies that are getting a
little old. So based on the other shots these "won" out. Some of these
are nicely composed shot even if they weren't cast in orange.
Oh yeah for those of you who argued for mid day, harshly lit shots I
think the great golden hours of light early and late in the day that was
present for the orange shots speaks to why these type of shots are
generally more pleasing to the eye than the other types. Personallyt my
SP military train in CA and the BN Mac's in NE suffered because the
light had already flatten out the image to far. There were reason why I
settled for these shots but I still think they could've been better.
However since I went to places that are out of my normal stopping ground
I'm still pleased with them, I'm just not awed by them.
