Jammed (June 3, 2007 repost)

A repost from June 2007. Critique welcome, thanks.

I think I commented on this when posted originally. It has some wonderful interplay of lines that, once noticed, seem to just keep popping up. The slope of the hatchback with the corrugations of the background material, and lines on the pavement and the line of the bottom of the car, trying to anchor the slant of the background. That little antenna going at right angle to the corrugations. And then that little red taillight stealing the attention from all the activity surrounding.

I can't add to David's thorough review other than to say I love the mish-mosh of lines, everything moving in a different direction and all contributing to an energized photo.

Thanks for the kind words and for being there always. Nice reading you after those few weeks away from the site. Cheers !

Laurence, a bold experiment in visual illusion.

of geometry. Thank you for sharing, Giuseppe (Imho it would be worth a try to tilt the work in order to have the car inclined and a straight road)

Thank you. I'm really glad you like this repost that went unnoticed the first time I'd posted it.

The light-brown patch near the right border in the middle is a distraction, imho. however, that apart, nothing to add to the review above. fascinating composition. i am surprised by the rating it received. compliments -koushik

Thanks a lot for taking the time, Koushik. It's funny how the mind sometimes works...or fails to work. I hadn't noticed that brown patch until you mentioned it. I think you're right, I might consider cloning it out. Thanks again.
