Oak Barrels

This one caught my eye - I think it is my favorite of what you have up right now. I like the repetitive patterns the barrel halves create, and it reminds me of when I was a kid (these things were *everywhere* where I grew up). I like the muted colors and the interesting textures of the weathered wood and iron hoops. I would consider what it would look like if you moved in to eliminate the tops and the left side so that the frame ended with the most distant barrels and no view into the tops. I think it might have a stronger impact by showing less, or it could ruin the shot. Either way, I like it!

thanks Randall,

 

I like your idea regarding cropping the tops out, its interesting idea. My preference is to try to retain the pictire as taken at the time, partly because i cant afford PS! My experience of manipulation generally is directed from my wife towards me!

 

I like the picture above, as is, because its exactly what was there at the time, and this is the picture I 'saw' before I picked up my camera. As i am a "photography infant" (age 40!) I am SO be happy that my untrained vision can capture images which gain comments like yours above.

 

Thanks for your time in viewing my gallery!

Any thoughts? please comment if you have any!

 

thanks,
