I appreciate the angle of the first photo. It adds an element of interest to what would normally be just a fence. Its a unique mix of lines, curves and rolling shapes.

The second photo may benefit from being taken from a lot further back to give the "drift off into nothingness" look. But once again, a nice mixture of lines, rolls, rectangles and crosses. A different crop may help to reduce some of the sky. Much too bright.

Thanks Jerry

I like #1 - it feels like complete image - the point of view and esposure are very good, #2 is, I feel, a little too much of "what i see is what you get". I appreciate your artistic sense of capturing the now for posterity, but in #2, there just isn't anything to catch my interest. It may be in 30 years, I will be capitvated by the sense of "now", but at the moment...

Thank you Toad. No one will see these in 30 years. It's now that counts.

You sell yourself short - perhaps in 30 years, your vision will be considered the vanguard of a new artistic movement and these shots will be very well known.

[Don Schaeffer]

Perhaps, Toad. The future is a popular girl and puts your requests for dates in a database which she considers later.
