    Confluence

    Taken a few years ago outside an entrance to the St. Lawrence Market, the wonderful, large indoor fresh food market here in Toronto.
    Sometimes the photogods cut us a break and this was one of those times.
    motorized Nikon FA
    Vivitar 17~28 f4.0-4.5 AIS manual focus
    Agfa RSX 100 ISO colour slide
    probably 5.6 @ 1/60th
    Confluence

    Nice one, Robert. Pity about the white saddle, though.

    Greg,
    I thought about cloning it out, but in the end decided to leave it in. I did tone it down a bit to make it less distracting as it was pure white and the brightest element in the picture.

    This requires a LOT of study to fully appreciate it. An absolutely magnificent image!

    I absolutely love it. Is it possible to shade the saddle the same as the eggs in the window or just a tad lighter? Just a thought.
    Cheers Ole

    Re: Confluence

    Mike,
    Thank you.
    Funny thing is, I had already left the building to cross the street to the parking garage, when one of the photogods gave me a smack on the back of the head, to get me to look to my right and see the composition.
    Ole,
    Anything can be done in Photoshop, but for some reason I didn't want to monkey about with it. It would have been fairly easy to clone out the seat and replace it with the Farmer's thigh, but the very fact that the two elements line up, but not perfectly, along with the lens distortion add a certain charm to the shot, that wouldn't be there if I made everything perfect.
    Maurice,
    Thanks for the compliments.
    Robert
