lisa v from Gawler, AustraliaA very strong composition this one. I like the balance of the twin doors. 25 Oct 2008 8:28am yiannis krikis from thessaloniki, GreeceI like the feel of emptyness of people in all of your work - keep posting 25 Oct 2008 9:58am @yiannis krikis: thanks very much yiannis Nill@ from County Östergötland, SwedenHi. 25 Oct 2008 2:36pm @Nill@: thanks again nilla! don from spokane, United StatesI like this image of the double loading docks. At first glimpse, they resembled two faces staring out at me. 25 Oct 2008 2:37pm ordinaryimages from Kentucky Bluegrass, United Statesimho the signage competes too strongly with the subtle complexity of line. best...jerry 25 Oct 2008 2:45pm JJ from Jersey City, United Statesyour series on these buildings is superb, this is yet another classy capture, symmetry with the doors, I love how you have the cables and there reflections, great work 25 Oct 2008 2:48pm daina from New York, United StatesAgree with ordinaryimages that there is “subtle complexity” in the lines; however the signage plays an extremely important role in the composition. It keeps the all the elements all on the same level. Just put your finger over the sign and you will see that the buildings “fall back” and the image becomes more depth oriented and conventional. And who is to say that the subtle aspects of an image cannot coexist with strong graphic ones. They do not have to compete for our attention, but can be explored one after the other. There are more ways than one to look at something. Matter of fact the very obviously strong graphic images or delicate subtle ones that can be appreciated at one glance often do not hold one’s interest as long as an image that is capable of handling both and can be enjoyed for the things one can discover after the initial viewing. 25 Oct 2008 3:28pm @daina: thanks daina. what i like about the sign is how conservative and constrained it is - it seems to mirror the building and perhaps even the nature of the business. Mindy from United StatesDon't 'get' everything Daina is saying, nor do I agree with OrdinaryImages. The Shipping Receiving sign wonderfully breaks the perfect symmetry, adding interest. Love the mood, textures, light. Curious why you included so much of the bottom of the frame. 25 Oct 2008 3:34pm @Mindy: well, i seem to do that a lot. i'm not sure i can explain it. it adds another stripe of something. plus i'm usually interested in the little details on the ground. Alejandro Caballero from Sant Boi de Llobregat, Barcelona, SpainGracias por seguir mostrandonos esta s fotografias, buen trabajo...saludos 25 Oct 2008 9:04pm Observing from West Cheshire, United KingdomI like this too.... another great corner shadow ;) 25 Oct 2008 11:13pm Howard F. from South Pasadena, Calif., United StatesI don't know what is an overdoor, but they sure do have a cool looking docking bay. Good shot Grant. 26 Oct 2008 7:10am roamin from Northern Nova Scotia, CanadaLove the negative foreground, glad you chose to include it in your frame. Without it, there would no real sense of scale. Cheers! 26 Oct 2008 9:59pm @roamin: thanks roamin dj.tigersprout from San Bruno, CA, United Statesthose wires -- their shadow!! a double diagonal -- and amazingly done! i agree w/ Kerfendal -- so simple, so efficient! (and i will add: so effective!!!) bravo!! 26 Oct 2008 11:35pm Twelvebit from Victoria, United StatesYes, the signage is the visual anchor point, but I dont think it is too competitive. 28 Oct 2008 10:44pm |
