Really nice use of color, perspective, and focus to tell your story.

 

I like the way the frame gets divided up both vertically and horizontally, suggesting snippets rather than a complete story.

 

There's a jarring sense to the skew of the shot and an urgency both to the AIDS graffiti and its relationship to the "trouble" on the far side of the tracks.

 

A very insightful composition.

Thanks a lot. I've been largely absent from Pnet for the past two months. Some travel, some house guests, some lethargy and some holiday busyness. Nice to return and to have a comment from you pop up.

 

May your New Year be wonderfully productive of happiness, health, art and all that is good. Peace

Glad to see you posting again. I like the diagonal lines that are adding a strong dynamism to the 3" chapters" of the story which are unfolding here, and can be taken to different directions.For me it is the danger( Aids), the police ,and an unknown blurry end....Interesting composition and color palette .

 

I hope you enjoy the season.My best wishes for the new year.

Trouble in Toontown! Just the kind of absurd composition that gets me all excited. This seems an idea that arrived in a flash of inspiration, an opportunity recognized and seized with alacrity,

Lucky you. Even a passing train has a color and texture to complement the image. It is a trough image from life as we experiencing as travel, move etc. Excellent image of a special style, you real master of it.

Your choice (intentional, I assume?) to skew the lines in this image just strengthens the shot.....it adds to the story line. Wonderful story-telling thru imagery, and I really love that wonderful backdrop. The railroad tracks and policy cars are in focus, but the background isn't. How did you achieve this?

Thanks to all of you for the comments. This was just a result of cruising along some tracks and spotting some crime problem on the other side. I stopped to view, and a train came along. So, I simply squatted to get an acceptable frame and that is it. The background is not blurred, as the background is the police cars and dumpy motel. What some are assuming is the background is really the graffitoed railroad car passing by.

Oh my gosh.....I see it now! It's like an optical illusion....Of course, and now I see the train is in front, which makes this an even more impressive shot. It's a good thing I don't embarrass easily.....I really missed the mark on this one! :-) Thanks for your kind comment on my Navajo image.....I'll answer your question on that thread. And thanks for clarifying this for me.
