Challenge: Propaganda (Classic Editing)
Camera: Olympus C-3040Z
Location: Sengkang, Singapore
Date: Nov 13, 2003
Aperture: F/4
ISO: ISO100
Shutter: 1/400sec
Galleries: Sky, Urban
Date Uploaded: Nov 13, 2003

Flying Bridges, flying tracks, flying trains, - crowded. But where is the sky? though beautifully sculpted, urban flying materials are removing from us the part that will probably appeal to us as well, our sky. Urbanisation is still going on everywhere, are we to lose more of it?

(only contrasting has been done, both when taking the shot and in photoshop.)

I'm pretty sure you wanted a crowded look blocking out the sky given the title, but am wondering what it might have looked like if you got a little wider angle and let the curves play out a little more than overpowering them with the big dark one up front. Pretty cool though. Good idea and great title as well.

Too bad it was a dreary day. I think the message would come across better if it was a nice sky being blocked out.

It might have worked for the challenge if you had given a title that actually showed it as propoganda (it didn't to me at least). The one you used sounds more for a gallery than to represent propoganda. Perhaps "The sky's so crowded with civilization, have you forgotten the clouds?" *shrugs* Something a bit more.

I love the way you captured the various curves of the highways, but where are the clouds that the title talks about?

This image doesn't really do much for me. I don't see a propaganda angle. 5 -danny

This image has an appealing abstract quality. The light negative space really stands out here.

nice shot, but I don't see the propaganda element in it?
