adan1 0 Posted October 3, 2008 The irony in your title combined with this shot is genial. You and Jack are one of a kind. Link to comment
bosshogg 4 Posted October 3, 2008 Indeed they are. And BTW, what's CBS got to do with this? Thanks Link to comment
bosshogg 4 Posted October 3, 2008 Thanks. Jack is more like a full house, and I'm kind of like a pair of fours. I used to take a lot of pride in my titles, but Jack makes mine so pedestrian. Oh well. Thanks for looking, and for the note. It is truly appreciated in these times. Link to comment
LindaM 2 Posted October 3, 2008 David, this makes me smile! you, Jack, Jeff and Pnina are all master titleists (is that a word?). Link to comment
bosshogg 4 Posted October 3, 2008 Yeah, that's a word. It's a golf ball. I ain't got much hair, I'm kind of round (aka "fat') and I get hit around a lot. So, yeah, I think it might apply to me. :))) Link to comment
jeffl7 0 Posted October 4, 2008 Of course, I love the color. You always do a great job capturing the world in a state of devolving. I like how fast food is tumbling back into the cornfield. Having just hints of icons is a nice touch. The CBS eye peering back at you is a nice touch. That's where my eye keeps going. Link to comment
bosshogg 4 Posted October 4, 2008 Thank you very much. I was not totally happy with the color here because I had to work on it with my little laptop which just does not reproduce color and brightness appropriately. Then when I transfer it to my sister's computer I have to often take it back and adjust. The process gets old quickly. Wish I had a nice jazzy new laptop. Someday ....... Link to comment
Jack McRitchie 150 Posted October 4, 2008 You got that good eye going to see the color possibilities of this scene. Really nice, David. Link to comment
pnital 36 Posted October 4, 2008 PR everywhere... hints of a consuming society... ;-)) you have the original source( fields) and the " Mc.../ welcome" very colorful ( a way of tempting....).... and CBS... all fits together for your observant eye. I love the title.... Linda, thanks as well ! I think that titles are part of creation.... Link to comment
bosshogg 4 Posted October 5, 2008 Thanks. Come to the Midwest with me and we'll take lots of pictures like this. :) Link to comment
tonmestrom 4 Posted October 5, 2008 although I've never perceived you as a cynic it's obvious you're highly critical of society. In that sense your title is well chosen. We all deserve a break. The way things are going it might be forced upon us soon anyway. Given that sign set off against those deeply saturated colours you've created a photo which would appeal to any cynic, no small feat.

bosshogg 4 Posted October 5, 2008 I do definitely consider myself a cynic. I try to be one with a sense of humor. Thanks for all your comments. You give me a lot to think about. Link to comment
tonmestrom 4 Posted October 5, 2008 well there you go then. You've proven my point, cynics have no sense of humour. As Oscar Wilde once said: "What is a cynic? A man who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing" Link to comment
michaellinder 16,612 Posted October 6, 2008 Very effective commentary on American society. Overdone consumerism sneaks into all aspect of life, even into a farm setting. And BTW, I love the color gradations in te FG. michael Link to comment
bosshogg 4 Posted October 6, 2008 Well, which would you suggest I give up? The cynicism or the sense of humor? Link to comment
tonmestrom 4 Posted October 6, 2008 since you're no cynic as far as I'm concerned just stay the way you are. More fun that way. Link to comment
