The Gates 2

Here is one view of The Gates Central Park, New York City 1979-2005.

I made this particular photograph because of the play of the shadows

of one gate to the next. It did take a while before the wind blew

the fabric just the amount I wanted.

Mark,

This is a good subject that you have choosen.. What I like is the composition and almost monochrome look of this pic and the only bold colour is the orange which is the subject here.. nice to see the fabric caught while blowing.

on the downside though I find the colours a bit washsed out.. the colour balance seems off.. and the background is a wee bit distracting (the people that is)

Well done and all the best 5/5

Herbert,

Thanks for the comment. It does look that way when the fabric faces the sun. It goes from a fairly bright yellow to the deep orange in the shadows and on the back sides.
