Clothes pegs (Taken at a typical Toscane terrass)

I really liked this picture in thumbnail when it popped up on my screen among the recent submssions, and liked it as well in the large view. Just nicely whimsical and simple and pleasing, I think.

The choice of a color subject (clothesepins) whose shape is repeated in monochrome as a shadow on the light-toned, neutral-colored wall is a neat idea, and this is a good, clean example of it. Composition seems about right to me, so I would not recommend any specific cropping -- but you might try a few things to see what you think. Biggest concern I have is the relative lack of sharpness in the clothespins -- it looks to me like your focus was on the wall behind them. This is a photo that needs great sharpness in depth. Shift focus to the actual pins, and shoot with a small lens aperture.

I really like this shot. The subject is something that is very common to most of us, but the colors here add an unexpected pop to the photo. I really like the simplicity of the composition also. I think I would like to see a similar shot, maybe fill the frame with just a couple of clothes-pins on the line. Overall though, this is a very likeable image, and quite original. Keep up the good work!
