Without your description I wouldn't have known what you were trying to show in the photo.
If the one box were completely missing its lock, that might make it more compelling, in which case a wider shot showing more boxes would establish the pattern a bit more forcefully. Box locks are held in by just a nut or a clip. You could take it out long enough to make your shot. But you might not want to do that. From: George Sinos
I need a little feedback on this one. I'm not sure it's worth pursuing. <http://www.georgesphotos.net/Other/Misc-private/1804874_X84PMn#!i=2431403562&k=nbGb2Bd&lb=1&s=A> The lock on my mailbox broke and had to be replaced. It struck me as something that could be used as an example of a broken pattern. I've played with it a bit and looked at it until I'm cross-eyed. I can't tell if it's straight and level or a tiny bit crooked. I'm also not sure about the composition. The lock on box 7 is dead-center in the frame, I don't think I like that. Maybe a rectangular crop eliminating the top row of boxes might look better. Is this worth the trouble to mess with or is it one of those "camera club" photos that no-one but a photographer would look at? Thanks for any input, gs.
