Intersection

A fine image indeed commensurate with the quality I expect when I check-in to your images. I see a 2nd image - forgive me for my experimentation.

 

Thanks, Tony. That's certainly a viable crop. I'll give it a day or two and then compare the two again. I find it's better to evaluate pictures after they've sat awhile.

A very nicely composed beautiful result, Jack!

 

Nice image, I don't know, I think the original works fine as is.

love the rich tones and contrast . lots of triangles and 3s.. original stuff

I too am more partial to the original version. Marvelous eye with that arrow aimed directly at my chest. What a HOT color that car is too... I like this Muchly!

Surely a powerful scene so well composed. This makes my thoughts to fly ahead to Amsterdam, where I'll stay in 10 days late March...

The cropped image attempts to impose convention wisdom on an image which is by nature unconventional and as a result can only fail. Without the sky and the black framed blue windows counterbalancing the yellow car, the whole thing falls apart and becomes just another typical street shot.

 

You have a singular gift for gleaning from the seemingly disparate, a unified whole. When I try to step aside from myself and take in the image, unfettered by my being a photographer, your composition feels solid. When I write "solid" I mean that looking at the scene I do not want to stand up and look down or get lower and look up or pan to the left or right. My mind and eye feel at rest. The bulk of your photography leaves me with the sense that there is no other view from which to experience the scene. There is an uncanny balancing act going on in many of your images. Despite the image feeling grounded there is often a tension present. A set of relationships pushing and pulling to maintain order and balance, a momentary, precarious defiance of chaos.

 

As a photographer I am always keenly aware of how distinctive, how unique, your compositional sense is. I know without hesitation that I could stand in the same spot forever without envisioning this viewpoint or crop. 

 

I seldom visit PN any longer. Whenever I do visit, I come by your pages and breath a sigh of relief when I find that you are still here and still posting and sharing your fantastic window on the world.

Interesting contrast and original idea.

What a great composition...To me all picture looks like a  diamond on a proper display after master finished his fine job...perfect!:)

Of all the photographers I once followed on photo.net only about a half dozen have posted anything recently. These photo sharing sites seem to have a rather brief life cycle or maybe the human race just suffers from a short attention span. 

I love the geometry in all your images. I could look at them for hours. These days I tend to take photos that I pose or direct rather than trying to find or isolate them from the world around me. I want to say that I am looking for a way to relate to other people but the fact is that I am most often attempting to make them over as I would prefer them to be.

I can't bring myself to purge my old photos from photo.net in order to post new ones. I post sporadically on flickr.com these days and spend more of my time on Facebook as https://www.facebook.com/insidetheviewfinder mostly to find people who are willing to stand in front of my camera.

A few of those photos are also posted (without the social fluff) at: http://500px.com/InsidetheviewfinderDixson 

It's always a pleasure to hear from you and to be reminded to check out your recent work. I always leave with the inspiration to do a better job.

This is such an unusual composition, I look and look,and can not leave it.The

form, the triangle, the strong car color are a real treat to look at.

When I look at the compositional "cut" ,the color,"answers"are well seen at the RHS  details. A real beauty.

I like it as is.  The color goes BANG enough without being any larger.  If the car dominated the image it would loose its charm.
