The Age of Woody Enlightenment
by raish

Comment by raish:
The Age of Enlightenment was the period during which the philosophy behind the American (and French) revolution and constitution emerged, as well as the practice and principles of scientific method. Wikipedia.

I thought, though I may have been wrong, that typical art of the period had dark backgrounds and showed people doing things that demonstrated the progress of their time. Hence the darker tones. An example. And yet another example.

Landscape Photographers' Break

Comment by raish:
Well, at least we don't have to ask SC about the official brown because we dole them out ourselves. Freedom's just another word...

But hey, landscape: Still - Focus - Depth of field - Minimal evidence of human/urban influence.

My entry in the Anything but Landscape challenge: Dynamic - Blurred - Dubious focus - A corner of central station in glorious isolation from Nature. Heh...

I personally feel there may be a circle of Hell reserved for people who insist on calling photography 'art'. Even so, down here...

I just noticed that the Site Council decided to hand you the BROWN on this challenge and bumped me into WHITEROOK-land with one worst than last! I feel so amazingly honored to be sent below the cellar floorboards into the true DPC dungeon with the chess master!

Personally I would have liked a little more light in the scene but I do love the softness of the tools in the background and the border is nice

Good set up and concept, but the lighting is under-exposed. The flash(?) doesn't seem to have helped much and has left glare on the metal. Maybe diffusion/bounce would have eased those issues?
