I see the texture (3) but some other things cause me confusion. 6 nards656

Very interesting perspective, and good focus/lighting. Instead of having the pole and lines leading out of the picture, I think it would have been better to have it on the right leading into the picture. Not sure this would have been possible and still get the leaves, etc. karmat

First, is this really the photo for that title? I really don't get it, my dumb! You have plenty of texture in the cement walls, so that's O.K. The pole and wires have to go (I hope you are not too attached!) Finally, estitics, would I hang this photo on my wall? Would you? 5 Swash

The tree trunk is distracting to me.

hm. i can see why you took this for shadow, and the lines make it a little more abstract. still, unfortunately, this shot doesn't look so interesting to me (subject wise) and i'm not sure what i would suggest as a change. sorry. -- gr8photos (3)

There are a lot of cool elements to this picture: Shadows, angles, repeating patterns. The problem is that there are too many elements and it's distracting. My eye is wandering all over the picture. Next time you might want to take a few steps forward (if that's possible) and focus on one element.

Needs work on composure -- shot seems very snapped.

Nice picture, but the subject you state in the title isn't of great enough importance to carry the photo.
07/23/2002 01:31:00 AM
Don't get it.

I wonder what did you tried to catch... the shadow, the tree or the building texture couse I dont see any of those

this is kind of busy, I'm not really sure what the focus is. The guide wires are distracting... but I like the concrete texture and strong lines of the shadows.

Though I see texture in the photo, I don't care for the composition.
07/22/2002 12:39:00 PM
don't understand the title but the pictur is ok.

interesting and effective use of the shadow to turn it into an abstraction.
07/22/2002 11:19:00 AM
the texture on the walls here is ok, but the dark tree on the left hand side of the frame is definitely a great distraction... = 5 - jmsetzler

pretty cool abstract..
07/22/2002 10:01:00 AM
there are so many different angles and line isn this picture its hard to see where your focus was.you probably didnt see them when you took the picture but the guy wires are very distracting. I had a similar problem this week myself.

The wll has a nice texture but there is way too many destractions, and your title points to something that is probably not highlighted.

i like this composition. very daring... very original
