Fallen - Leaves at Manhattan Square

The public playground at Manhattan Square Park in Rochester, NY

provides a wealth of subject possibilities. The play surface is a squishy

pad of rubbery particles bonded together. Unlike other uses in our area,

they built this one with vivid colors and interesting shapes. This image is

a sentimental favorite of mine because I was out shooting that afternoon

with my 10 yr old daughter. She was shooting with my back-up camera

and came back with a couple of really good abstracts as well.

I like the strong contrast in colors. To me, it sort of looks like you were shooting the side of a hill in Autumn with sky in background. The leaves breaking up the colors and looking like foliage add to the image.

 

The lighter blue and green on the right are a bit of a distraction though, but that is just my opinion.

 

Nice job and keep up the good work!

A very well composed work ! I like it !

 

Best wishes

Very interesting and original abstract. I can't decide if it would be better without the part on the right side....I'd say more essential in one case, richer in the other: both make sense. Nicely done indeed!

nice

 

Oh boy, those colors are terrific!!!! Of course, the composition is perfect too; I’m lucky to have stumbled into your portfolio, it seems to me that you’re quite a master abstractionist. Cheers!

Wow, such kind words Juan! It is new territory for me and I'm enjoying the journey. Stay tuned, I hope to post more to the portfolio in the coming weeks.

Well seen.
