I love this capture for its quirky composition and expansive depth of field, which strips it of the usual selective emphasis on an isolated physical subject. Instead, I feel encouraged to explore the tonal and textural qualities of the entire vista, leaving me to elect my own gusto and ways without the familiar prompt.
Neither can I tell what's behind the delectable poise of contrast by field and edges (sharpening), which appears to offer me a canvas and easel bearing a primitive art made of a vacated oil drum placed vicariously at the edge of some post-industrial idyll.
While this strikes me as hardly the image benefitting from considerations external to itself, I feel it could be improved by balancing tilt (angle) and horizontal distortion discernible in the lines of the brick wall.
I envy the eye that saw a photo here and appreciate the deductive treatment that made it an art.
I like your composition very much, but there are a couple of things bugging me. One is an out-of-place sense of blurriness about the tank-thing - it may simply be the way it looks, or it may be a processing artefact, but it doesn't seem to belong to the same graphical world as the rest of the composition - especially given such a strong sense of fine detail in the stain itself. Secondly a sense of lens distortion that adds a feeling of precipitousness to the image; I might, myself, have tried a touch of correction on that. But I like the shapes very much. Doesn't quite give me enough - it lacks a real sense of photographic fun, I suppose - to really entrance, but it's many times more interesting/arresting than all these pets, kids and landscapes.
This looks like e301 except that he likes to put something transitory in a photo so it feels like he is capturing something. but you and I both know that you captured something here. 10
