Across the Street

Please view large. Fog socked in our street the other morning.

Noticing this view framed by the trees, I dragged out my camera

and captured this from our front step. Unfortunately, there is a lack

of sun, hence poorer values than I would prefer. Still, I thought this

worth sharing. Thanks for your comments.

Well captured atmosphere - and carefully arranged composition: I like how tree and postbox at the right "echo" the other tree and the boxes in the center.

In normal light these postboxes are completely harmless objects - but here they seem to come to live for following some evil deed :-)

very interesting image!

best regards!

Wolfgang and Efim,   Thanks for visiting my mailboxes.  You are correct, Wolfgang, light significantly changes our perspective and attitude about objects.  Thanks again.  Larry

Moody and Beautiful.

Another possibility.

All the very best and thanks for your recent visit.

Tony,  thanks your your rendition of this image.  What did you do to it beside increasing exposure value?    Larry

I don't remember but I may have adjusted the color balance and cloned out something at the top left.  I was taught a long time ago (Cibachrome processing) that you need to adjust density (lightness/darkness) before attempting to perform color balance and it is something I try and practice today.

All the best,

Very interesting composition. A relatively common subject, taken into a whole new dimension. The isolation, the quiet moment, the street dividing the recipients of secret writings for each dweller….And the fog….delightful. As in many cases, being a matter of taste and personal preferences, I like the way you presented it, with subdued color and light, giving it the mood you (probably) were perceiving.

Daniel,  Thanks for your visit and comment.  Revisiting older images is helpful. Larry
