jeff.grant 0 Posted November 10, 2009 You have made an interesting image from something that I would walk by without a second glance. the colours and lines really sing. I only wonder why you cut the bottom of the arrow out of the frame. Does it look better than with it in? Link to comment
bretsch 0 Posted November 10, 2009 Thank you Jeff, I really appreciate your comment. To answer your question, I think it does....I cut it on purpose, as I was trying to balance both the building and billboard, with that of the sky, in a sort of ying & yang play; and while both spaces are not specifically equivalent, they share a similar form of "L's" upright and upside down.I do have others with the whole arrow showing, and they just didn't turn out that well, it seems like sometimes breaking some rules, get better results.

jeff.grant 0 Posted November 10, 2009 Thanks for the explanation. I didn't think that it would have been an accident so I was curious as to your thinking. As you know, following the rules is not my forte. Link to comment
mcclure 0 Posted November 10, 2009 Came back to leave a real comment : ) I really like the balance you've achieved with the two leaning verticals. The obvious message "Park" pops but the subtle realization that it is visually parked it great fun. I also really like the diagonal cables that support (pun intended) the message and the open windows. Great Capture!!! Link to comment
bretsch 0 Posted November 10, 2009 Thank you John, is interesting that you mentioned those cables, one of my favorite parts of this image, as well. Cheers, Link to comment

gallego 1 Posted November 12, 2009 Buen color y composición. Me trae recuerdos de antiguas fotos en b/n. Muy bien resuelta ... Saludos. Link to comment
mario2 0 Posted November 13, 2009 I asked too why you crop the arrow...the people that don't be a fan of photography usually don't see this kind of things.Well seen Juan Carlos,I like the tone, likes the old colour slides.Un abrazo Link to comment
bretsch 0 Posted November 19, 2009 Jordi, muchas gracias por tu comentario. Me pasa algo similar, a mi también me recordó distintas fotos en B/N, tanto que mi primer opción fue trabajarla y subirla en B/N. Al final me decidí por la de color, anexo la otra versión, para comparación. ¿Que opinas? Mario, thank you. Honestly, I debated with myself for a while, of weather to cut the arrow's bottom, or not; in the end, I think I made the right thing by doing so. As for color, I'm really grateful that you noticed it, as you know I give a great deal of importance to color... Saludos, Link to comment
jeffl7 0 Posted November 21, 2009 Color, definitely. That orange/sky blue mix gives a sense of time and age that the b&w version only hints at. Link to comment
bretsch 0 Posted November 25, 2009 Thank you Jeff, I thought so too. I do like the B&W version, but I find the colored one to be more appealing, because it reminds me of a set of color pictures of billboards from the 50’s and 60’s, I once saw; I had those photos in my mind, when I tried to compose this shot, your comment kind of confirms me that at least I got close to getting that look. Cheers, Link to comment
drewmurphy 0 Posted December 4, 2009 Gorgeous treatment and comp, I really dig the colour (posted) version, the tones are just magnificent. An instant fave. Link to comment
