Ahhhhh, the places of memories! The average observer may see junk while the individual who experienced the place holds great treasures in his or her heart! :)

Great Pattern! I can relate to this one easily since I'm from a family of farmers. :)

Great Photo! Starting to make me a little misty-eyed because I haven't owned a dog in years! :} Obviously Great Work when you can bring up emotions in the viewer! :)

The "feel" here brings back many memories of nights spent running in training for a marathon! :)

Of course, that was about 20 years ago in Tallahassee, FL, and this reminds me of the street corner across from the state capitol at the top of Apalachee Parkway where I would turn right to go home on the last half of a 9.5 or 10 mile route.

I only give you all this info. to underscore what an excellent creation this is...evocative, moody, obviously dark, and in many ways (I would guess) universally experiential. Bottom Line: Great Work! :)

Most Excellent, Classic Lady! :)

(Now you've got me working hard not to ruin my keyboard from all the drooling!) :} I am partial to the low-angle on wide-angle (nearly "fish-eye") setting...Is that 28mm? 18mm? Wider? Great Work! Let me know anytime you post one of these, and you will almost always have at least one favorite for your efforts!

Thanks for the privilege of viewing such amazing beauty! :)

The little lady's expression is priceless...excellent timing! Grandma hiding face says, "I'm being proudly humble and don't want anybody taking my picture ever!" (I know that lady! She is my "Mother"!)

The only technique I know of that will even come close to working for people, like that is "Shock & Awe!" Sneak into her local "room-sized zone," focus on back of head or shoulders, have an accomplice near you call her name, and then as she begins to turn in your direction press down the shutter release set on multiple takes, and slam that SD card as fast as your camera will let you go!

Cheers! G'Day! :)

The expression of his face (especially the lines above his eyes)and the feel of the photo gives it a John Cusack over-all personality...generally serious with a rye wit and mischief around the edges. :}

The over-all grain of the photo seems to tie-it-all-together. Good Job! :)

The wide-angle creates a rather ominous aspect to the street, but I like that because it fits for this photo. As merely a personal preference, I would probably have cropped out the van on the left, and past the cab of the truck on the right (in order to see a full car - mostly - first.) Good Job! :)
