Re: PESO: St. Louis Water Division
Thanks, Joe and everyone else who commented! I wish I had tried using a polarizer on this shot to bring out more of the texture without the glare. Too soon old, too late smart, again! It is very nice that people whose judgement I respect also see something in this shot, though!

Re: PESO: St. Louis Water Division
I like it Rick. Good contrast between the cap and stones.

Re: PESO: St. Louis Water Division
Like it, Rick, but wonder what a softer light would do to that theme. lf Rick Womer escreveu: This was taken in Laclede's Landing, an area of old warehouses and cobblestone streets near the Arch in St. Louis.

This would be something, if it were mine, I'd try rendering in B&W. Just a suggestion.

Re: PESO: St. Louis Water Division
I like this very much Rick. My one comment is that I would probably shot it (or cropped it) with the manhole cover a bit more off center, probably just slightly lower right. I don't know if it would look any better that way, I just prefer slightly more asymmetry... Your other shot posted recently, the couple under an archway of trees in the St. Louis riverfront park, was a pleasant well composed well lighted shot that wouldn't hold my attention for more than a few seconds. This has much more character IMHO. stan On Jan 11, 2009, at 8:55 PM, Rick Womer wrote: This was taken in Laclede's Landing, an area of old warehouses and cobblestone streets near the Arch in St. Louis.
