Set On Endby
Firstrich1Comment by zeuszen: Great clarity and expanse of tone. One of my favourite shots in this challenge. Yet...
I remain reserved about the composition, particularly the very narrow crop to the left of the light blue 'wing'. I would have preferred a more generous space, perhaps a 3rd of the distance between the windows, i.e. a measure relative to any 'given' in the photo, to suggest continuity.
The lighting too is questionable, since it is obviously natural, but reflects downward, off the 'wing'. I understand the choice for standing the image on end (to further enhance the abstraction suggested by the subject) but question the credibility of the resulting impression.
To render the image horizontally (wing up) would, IMO, achieve a satisfying effect, albeit a different one. I also miss a clear definition of the 'wing' against the sky, something that could, possibly,be achieved by sharpening the edges slightly. The double border is, IMO, more than is required to anchor the image in a page.
Regarless of these (perceived) flaws, the photo is powerful and beautiful, and I'm grateful for having the opportunity to 'sink my teeth into something' I can care about. :-)
