Lines, Texture and Shadow

c/c welcome if desired.

Quite well done
might be even more striking when cropped to a square to eliminate some of right side

Thanks, Lew. You know I had considered cropping that... I just hate square pictures.

 

[The_Traveler]

yes, me too, they seem so contrived.

even a 4 x 5 looks really nice, I think.
Do you name all your benches with these old-fashioned style names?

I really like the lines, texture and processing choices, yum!
I do have a nitpick though I think the issue is the tiny triangle at the bottom, it is so dark and small, almost like a punctuation mark and it draws me back to it over and over again, maybe a touch off the bottom to get rid of it and not interrupt the flow?

Very nice image.

I really like that shot. I agree with Lew. Crop it to have the roof line cut the image in half. Equal sides would work well, in my opinion.

Yup, that totally works... and I hate it. I have some weird hangup with the square pics.

And that's not a bench... It's actually some stuff they had hanging on a high school wall with lights behind it.

I didn't notice that... and now... CANNOT UNSEE. Ok, I'll play with it.

Very nice image.

Thanks!

I think the image needs to be rotated a bit, so that the shadow is straight up and down, and THEN cropped to a square! Seriously, the shadow needs to be running from 12 to 6 o'clock.

 

[manaheim]

The shadow is exactly where I want it.

But I appreciate the idea.

EXACTLY. It could not possibly be done any better.

I'm totally confused now. lol
