Old Tires

spontaneous, whimsical, voyeuristic, old tires looking like dancing bubbles. Jack, you make immortal things that nobody cares for. Great job!

And I mean it! Nothing more, nothing less! Compliments, Jack!

Cheers

I wonder how much of the quality (which is very good) is created in a sense, not that it's photoshopped, by your talent/skill. It's good. I'm glad to have your work to look at.

This image is fully completed by the blurred metalic hoop that tries to imitate a tire!
Ha, it can't fool us all...

I don't know if you intentionally included that metallic ring in the composition, or it was unavoidable to make the composition?

I like this image.

Jack,

To me, the blurred door handle doesn't resemble the tires shape at all. It very much stands out as a door handle. If you did not intend to have it, but could not avoid it, it is very easy to remove it in Photoshop, but I would not recommend it. I think it adds a sense of stealth to the image, as if the viewer is looking into a forbidden zone, someone's backyard.

Thanks for taking the time to comment on this image.

Supriyo - Arigato. I didn't have to think too much about the metal ring since I kind of liked it for the very reasons you mentioned.

Pierre - Thanks. I can always count on you to say exactly what you mean.

Chuck - I don't know so much about talent/skill. I think I pretty much converted this to b&w and cropped it a bit. I take so many pictures and spend such an inordinate amount of time processing them at the computer that what I did on individual photos sometimes blurs in my mind. Anyway, I liked the way this one turned out.

Michail - I like the repeating shape myself. The fact that it's blurred is fine with me.

Saad - I think from this particular angle it was unavoidable but regardless I like its inclusion in the picture. I think there's a general trend now to make pictures too perfect and I think eliminating all imperfections often robs them of life. They become pretty things but exist only in the world of art.

Jack, please do not - for reasons you stated - even think of moving the ring on the post to which it is attached.  It's a "happy" distraction, which gives a viewer something else to think about besides the tragedy of tires dumped against the fence.  As a result, the image does double duty.  It is somewhat of a visual puzzle, but it also is a powerful documentary.
