Broken Fence
Comments:
Start of new series for me
I'm interested that you can be so sure (I've read your related blog post). This is such a different motivational driver from the way that I work. I am Mr Hapazard Aimless.
Are there really enough broken fences around for a series? There is a lot here (especially for Brits starved of palm trees!) making use of objects over the horizon of a relatively small patch of ground. Maybe not as descriptive as Murrieta but a carefully chosen viewpoint. The wire top left is the only niggle: it should either go or be utilised more fully as part of the landscape.
I'd like to see a much straighter angle on this. To the left of the lefthand fence is not adding much. However, the break in the fence and the final complete left had fence are holding nothing back yet the fencing to the right is holding back a nice herd of trees. Some good guiding lines keeps the viewer well organized.
Colin, not to say that I am not haphazardous, but I get this idea and then start probing around to see if there is some images that help me with expressing the idea. Must be from reading all of those Life magazines as a kid, as I always wondered how they found the images to tell those wonderful stories.
As to the intent of my new series, perhaps best read from my blog about this series:- ) http://singularimages.wordpress.com/2007/10/05/start-of-a-new-series-transitional-seam/
For this image, I am thinking of changing that upper left corner and looking forward to all of your suggestions...
While Guy would like to see a straighter angle, I'd prefer the left hand fence form a steeper diagonal; just a few steps to your left would do it. Other than that, beautiful sky as usual. I look forward to others in the series.
The tyre tracks caught my eye first, I used to compete off road!
There are a lot of visual clues leading one over the hill. Is that a power cable on the left?
There is a subtelty in this toning which is just right for the subject.
I find the subject interesting but a bit lost in the surrounding noise.
The track has the potential of being a subject too. Ditto with the palm-trees.
The toning is indeed appropriate.
I like the feeling to this, but I'm struggling to explain exactly why. Perhaps some sleep will help and I'll return to it again.
Seems that I was so taken by what was happening in the foreground and midground, that I forgot to check the left edge. So I am thinking that tomorrow afternoon I will venture back for a reshoot.
This is a site of a house tear down, nothing left by the fences and trees, waiting for the housing tract developers.
