Way too hot

Comment by ttreit:
One thing I like in this photo is the dazzling effect on the car windshield in the distance. Something about the focus (or lack thereof) detracts from the effect. I do like how long the path streches out...helps emphasize a long hot day.

I really like the lighting and contrast of the bowl.

I"m not sure everyone will 'get' that this is a pipe. It took me a second to figure out what it is. I'd be interested to see it shot landscape instead of portrait and perhaps be able to see inside the pipe bowl. With landscape orientation I might have tried placing the pipe diagonally as well.

Its a very nice photograph, with great texture on that object. I don't really think the negative space has much of a role in this, but that doesn't bother me. 6

the space around the subject should be the wow.

Interesting textures. Not a lot of negative space, but it's there! Gute Idee!
