GJC from Kyoto, JapanWhat I like about this are all the rectangles within rectangles (the mailbox the bricks, the awning, the parking thing (what's it called?). Nice. 7 Jan 2009 5:55am @GJC: thanks gjc. i don't know what those things are called. wish i did - the often appear in my photos. Bill from Belton, United StatesHad the sun been at a slightly higher angle and the shadow of the awning a bit more pronounced I might not have found the American flag! Great shot as always Grant! 7 Jan 2009 6:44am cat from IsraelReally like all the lines and angles, and the weeds growing up as if to break the symmetry of everything. Great shadows too. 7 Jan 2009 7:47am Inés from Namur, BelgiumOn a l'impression que cette porte ouvre sur l'horizon et non sur un intérieur ! 7 Jan 2009 8:10am @Inés: fascinating comment - it fits for me dogilicious from Millerstown, PA, United StatesLike the way the shadow of the overhang breaks up the straight lines. Well seen. 7 Jan 2009 11:50am @Tilala: happy new year to you also tilala! bluechameleon from Vancouver, CanadaSuch a fantastic shot! I see you are using Tmax 100, but my eye sees such a heavy grain on the ground...blows me away! 7 Jan 2009 1:17pm @bluechameleon: thanks bc! i think that grain may be in the ground itself. it's a gritty sort of place... Robert from Kingsville, CanadaThis looks like that place that nobody knows what they do there and are afraid to ask ! Love that awning . 7 Jan 2009 1:24pm Chris Parr from Jefferson City, United StatesI really like the rust stains running down from the top and from the mailbox. They give an otherwise dull whitewashed wall some interesting detail. Great capture! 7 Jan 2009 3:06pm daina from United StatesThere is whimsy in the awning and its shadow - a playfulness that belies the rigidity of the surroundings and I guess the flag, in this context, has some of the same appeal as the awning. Love your sense of playfulness in this shot. 7 Jan 2009 5:02pm david from columbus, ohio, United Statesi love shots that create art from the ordinary. this is one such. 7 Jan 2009 5:39pm @david: thanks very much david Alphons from Kaatsheuvel, NetherlandsSimple but very good is-as-it-is photo. Well seen. 7 Jan 2009 6:11pm michele from Canadafunny little awning. makes me think of pink flamingos for some reason. brings humor. 7 Jan 2009 6:53pm martie from United StatesAs with all your work, I found this one intriguing and was wondering what the name would be. Well done! 7 Jan 2009 9:25pm @martie: thanks martie. i appreciate it. Observing from West Cheshire, United KingdomThe ever present fine graytones are in this shot too, again... wonderful light. 7 Jan 2009 11:14pm @Observing: thanks mike Will Williams from Bailey, United StatesI'd really interested to see this in color, the colors of the flag against the white wall. 8 Jan 2009 2:05am @Will Williams: actually, i don't think it would look too much different will - the flag looked like it had been there for a long time... Howard F. from South Pasadena, Calif., United StatesDirty wall and decaying parking lot took my attention away, finally found Waldo on the door. Cool shot! 8 Jan 2009 2:06am @Howard F.: :-) thanks howard Stephen Phillips from San Francisco, United StatesThis has me asking if this is what the founding fathers had in mind... Oh say can you see? 8 Jan 2009 3:06am sherri from Little Rock, Arkansas, United StatesAmerican flag? I don't get it. I like the capture though:-) 8 Jan 2009 4:54am @sherri: thanks sherri. (there's no trick. i already have a photo "cinder block building." there's a small american flag on the door, so i used that for the title.) |
