Leiper's Market

Artistic imaging is often waiting for distractions (cars at the gas pump) to

move out of the way, and then trying to see a thing not just with your eyes

but with memories so that what is before you seems not just a store, not

just rocking chairs on a porch, but somehow the best of every rocking chair,

every country store you’ve experienced or imagined. The dream like soft

focus and subdued coloration was an attempt to make this image more

timeless. I would appreciate any critique.

Wayne,

I love the effect that you gave this shot. It looks great. Great job. Patsy

I like the image and the feeling you have created, but I wonder how it would look a little lighter than it is now, as it might bring out more detail on the left end of the porch? Nice work, and thanks for sharing it with us-

Mark

Thanks, Mark.

As small as it is, you're right the darkness of the rectangle to the left turns it into negative space. I will work on selectively lightening - I kind of like the "feel" of the darker values in the rest of the image, kind of adds to the long ago, rustic sense of the place.
