Comment by Neil:
Very nice Kavey! Great pattern and tones. Have you also tried just the top part, playing the grate shape and angle more strictly against the round curb in composition? Tried square, cropping the bottom?

Great eye!

Reminds me of a couple I did during July 4th. I entered one of my daughter in the Circles challenge, and the other is in my portfolio of my other daughter making a star. Show us some of the other shapes! That's a great job! :)

(No) Room for Movement Assignment

Comment by dahkota:
Kavey, I think this works. It has an odd sense of...I don't know - the only word that comes to my mind is lyrical. Not sure if this breaks the rule in the assignment but the image is compelling none the less. The lines are 'off' creating an inbalanced feeling in me, the viewer. The round lights contrast with all the straight lines (even the multi-toned paint on the background) providing another dynamic. This was timed perfectly as a row of lights leads right to the subject. I like the way the box is off center, lending more depth to the image. I am drawn to his arm and his forward leg - the angles lead me onward out of the image and I think that works. The only thing I am not crazy about is his blue shirt. No clue why. It would be interesting to see this in black and white.

B/W Group -
Am glad you tried this in B/W, I like it better than the color. The B/W adds more 'character' to it and to me the subject matter just begs to have character... I mean, it's a wharf! Think of all the stories that it could tell, if able.

With that though, I would love to see this image pop a little more in the darker areas. I know the original blended in too, but wonder what this would look like with maybe a tinge more contrast. Think I will add this to my DPC_BWGroup_todo list, if you don't mind, just to test it and see what I come up with.

Why can't my town have cool places, things to image?! :D
