Re: Mailboxes
Great idea. This is a view that we see all over rural America. Perhaps a longer focal length compressing the distance and eliminating some of the road in front and trees to the rear of the boxes might be another way to shoot this collection...

Re: Mailboxes
I agree with Richard about this being a great idea.
The copy posted up here is at quite a small size and we can't really see it too well. Is this resized down from a larger original. If so, it would be good post up the larger file.
In addition to what Richard has said, I'd be thinking about a shot like this make a B & W image, although I'm not sure that this one has the tonal range that you'd ideally be looking for. But I think a bit of work composing it could have isolated a group of the boxes that would have given that.
Good vision to see the possibilities in this scene.

Re: Mailboxes
Donald, of course! You are so right. B&W would have been much better. Thanks for the suggestion.
If I can figure out how to do it, I will post a B&W for comparison. Sorry the first one was too small... still working on learning the system.
