Hi! ft> I like it. I'm not sure just why, but I find it ft> strangely compelling. An urban still life, I guess.
Oh sweet revenge. Now there is a shot that you like but cannot tell why... You've been torturing me like this many times, Frank <g>... Now I collect the debts... First set is mine. ft> Nice, sharp detail in the foreground, nicely fading ft> focus. Interesting composition: I like the geometry ft> of the bench slats "converging", I like the contrast ft> of the round orange up front. The bare branch seems ft> to add some serendipity to the whole thing. Nod, nod, and nod... ft> B&W is the perfect choice for this - colour would have ft> been too obvious, and this way we concentrate on the ft> form, not the colour. Frankly <g>, I shot b/w almost exclusively now. I simply cannot think in terms of color any more. I am slowly growing down to basics <g>... ft> I still don't know why I like this, but I do. Second set is also mine. ft> I have a still life that I've been sitting on for too ft> long; after all the people photos I've posted lately, ft> I have to get that one printed up. Thanks for the ft> inspiration. Oh, please post it. Really. Why not? ft> I still am not sure why I like yours, but I do. I ft> find it pleasing. Point, Set, and Match... <g> Seriously however, I appreciate all you have said. Up to a certain degree my feelings about this were the same. I rather liked it without really knowing why...
