There's a starkness and simplicity about this one that I love. The bare trees, old gate posts and low winter light contribute to this starkness, I suppose, as do the hills in the distance, but your composition is what makes this. It just has this feel to it that "civilization was here once, but now it's gone". Love it. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
