So, you feel that the stairs are your strongest triangle?
I feel that there may be too many things breaking it up. The dog intersects the bottom line...not terribly, but... The railing posts interupt the concept, the graduated lighting on the stairs do not help to define it, and, finally, the cropping nearly eliminates two other potentially large triangular elements.
Disclaimer: I did not enter, comment or vote this challenge...I'm just evaluating "environmental triangles" because I think it's fun. (Damn, I need a hobby...oh, wait, I have one!) |
you're good at your new hobby.
I think the strongest line in my image (or rather I should say what I wish was the strongest line) is the man looking at the cat. That was the whole reason I took the photo and what interested me in the scene. I liked the expression of the man and the simple joy of his seeing. I do not know this man nor this cat. I think the strongest triangles are the large ones that are formed by the stairs on either side. Perhaps too strong as I think the eye is drawn to the bottom line of the stairs more so than the man or the cat. Had this been advanced editing I might have been able to do something about that. Had I intentionally shot this for the triangle challenge I would have rotated it so that the bottom area of ground made a perfect triangle with the edges of the borders so that the background (meaning areas that are not the man or the cat) would have been composed of 4 triangles. If I wanted to shoot for the challenge in the least challenging way I would find something triangular and take a photo of it. This was the only photo I took that week that I felt was interesting and also contained triangles.
Robt: I think your shot looks over processed, oversharpened so that it looks like lines have been drawn in it, almost equalized (may be confusing this with something else...). Not sure. I bet that lost it .5 at least. I think the triangles are very obvious and there is nothing to distract the eye from them. |
