Hi Jose Pablo!

Very original; You you have captured something very earthly as a parkinglot in a very artistic way! This photo is an eye-catcher!

I'd title it "Tree three-point-three lots wide" to nail the strangeness. It's a picture I'd put on my wall for a while.

Please note the following:

 

This image has been selected for discussion. It is not necessarily the "best" picture

the Elves have seen this week, nor is it a contest.

 

Discussion of photo.net policy, including the choice

of Photograph of the Week should not take place here, but in the Site Feedback forum.

 

The About

Photograph of the Week

page tells you more about this feature of photo.net.

 

Before writing a contribution to this thread, please consider our reason for having

this forum: to help people learn about photography. Visitors have browsed the gallery,

found a few striking images and want to know things like why is it a good picture, why

does it work? Or, indeed, why doesn't it work, or how could it be improved? Try to answer

such questions with your contribution.

 

Jose, I think the mark of a very good photograph (and so to say, a very good photographer) is the ability to see what is unique and special in the everyday, to capture what most of us would never see. Beautifully shot. A perfect 7&7. Well done.

Jose,

Very interesting way of capturing an otherwise uninteresting subject. The subtle tones on the asphalt make this photo work as a pretty nice abstract. It shows you have a keen artistic eye. Congratulations.

The 6 "auto focus points" are quite interesting.

I thought those were drainage grates for rain. great picture.

enhorabuena, una foto fantastica muy bien compuesta...

 

Regards

Do you everytime put camera against your eyes? This picture is of a parking lot seeing from the top, but colors, representation and the whole frame tells that you have very good frame capturing eyes, god gift. congratulations and regards! best wishes for the future

This photo is very original. I really enjoy photos that mix man and nature. Here you see a parking lot which many consider ugly and ruin landscapes, but yet you see grass growing through the pavment and the tree. Nature will always dominate.

It is interesting how little discussion this photo can initiate.

 

What do we in fact do with a photo that looks very much like a snapshot and which seems heavily photoshoped or just of extremely bad technical quality (the light blue areas in general) and yet, a photo, that is highly aesthetic and somewhat original ? Looking into the portfolio of Jose, the photo seems also, up till now according to what he shares with us, to be unique among his other shots.

 

The composition is showing no respect to shared rules and does not guide our eyes towards any particular object or light. The centred tree or the white stones of the parking lot as well as the numbers are, in my eyes, not there for viewers to interpret the scene or to tell a story. The composition transmits the message that this is to be appreciated as mainly a decorative piece of work. Seeing it like that, it deserves its good notes, in my view.

 

Congratulations to Jose for this POW.

Perhaps it is time to shake things up a little... you can view all nominations for this week in a single page. Warning: that page contains nudity. Feel free to add comments to that page.

Comments on this page should still address this photo.

Maybe if we, at some point in time, have a themed Photograph of the Week, with 10 portraits, or 8 sports photos, or 9 wildlife photos, we'll ask you to compare the photos. For now, please don't.

Comments on site policy should still be posted in the Site Feedback forum.

Enjoy!
