If I had one tiny nit is that I probably would have shot the mail box closeup straight-on - but the light may have made that not work - (like if your shadow fell on the boxes and didn't help it) likewise the door with number 5 on it, but that isn't clear either because of the fall of light... but the group works wonderfully and I love love lvoe places like that. ann ============ Thanks, ann. I felt I did a lot of things not quite right, which is why I want to go back. I shot too wide angle on some, didn't have the right lenses along, and the other major thing was it was not good lighting, too harsh, not the right time of day. I also didn't spend enough time setting up my shots. It's kind of off the beaten path, takes time to get to, so I've been aiming to go back for about a year and try again and haven't made it yet. (Comment about mail boxes has been made before, that is because I think I only took the wide angle with me that day. I agree. One of the things I want to redo.) I have actually improved photographically this past year too and when I look at these I feel I could probably do better now. So do I (love places like that) and we don't have many like that in this county. I bet lots don't know, really, that it is there. When I took the mailboxes, BTW, that is when I saw one person (I saw about 4). Even though it was Sunday she was picking up her mail. I asked her about the boxes, she said a lot of people still pick up their mail at the boxes, it's a way to meet, greet, and catch up with people. I got a kick out of that. Thanks for looking.
