Got that tilt-shifting effect going on here, well done. Interesting composition too.

Would'nt have the same effect at all without the focus being just on that silo. I really like this one. I'm intrigued by the shapes in the sky upper left and i like the little building below that middle silo. Actually we'd call that a hopper that middle one. I live near grain silos but they are'nt as busy looking as this.

@lisa v: not only is this busy looking, it was busy the day i was there. they didn't appreciate company. i had to shoot and run.

Really interesting composition and focus play - makes the scene look alien and exotic.

@Stovepipe: i think you have a sense of how exotic it is :-)

Another appealing image, the grain and soft focus is becoming your signature.

daina from New York, United States
Great composition of cylinders and lines – wonderful repetition of shapes etc. and the backlight makes this so much more prominent.

@Makoto: thanks makoto. i keep picking up cameras along the way. i don't know if you've had the same experience, but with digital so popular, i keep finding great deals on film cameras.

Super sort of rural-industrial shot; very effective use of DOF.
