: Hi Douglas,
: I would have took a step to the right to avoid the sign on the left to
stay so
: close to the building and I also would have cropped completely the street
I was standing in the midle of a cross street to US1. I didn't have much
latitude. You are however correct, In fact I think I fell into the trap and
didn't even notice it when I was composing.
:(if I had the opportunity I'd have chosen a slightly longer focal lenght -
85mm
: maybe - to include in the picture the building and the sign only if the
: intention was to give the meaning you have suggested).
Unfortunately an 85mm and the right angle would have put me in the middle of
US1. Not a pleasing thought, even at 2AM. Maybe a 135mm or 150mm from across
US1.
:There are too many distracting things in the lower part of the frame that
drive the attention away from the "Do Not Enter" sign.
Possibly, as noted I don't remember if I was aware of the stuff to the left.
Falling into the trap I am sure I saw two things, the building and the sign.
But maybe it makes it more of a picture to test your perception. So far I
had to explain it to a couple of people. It was interesting to see who "got
it" at work today. I was impressed by a couple of people.
Thanks,
Douglas E Harmon
