This is Where We Part

Wow, they are all nice !!

Here's my own play: Ostrich'feathers tree...but I took it in ' raw' and now, I can't edit it with what I use regularly: I guess it doesn't take the raw suffix! Here what I could do though...

What editing program are you using?

Photo #1: Love it. Wouldn't change it a bit, wish I had taken it. I can smell the creosote from here.

#2: Well done, but.... The problem is, this shot has been well done so many times by so many people that I only wish I could see this particular version with fresh eyes. I hate to sound so jaded as a newbie, but I started deleting these shots from my camera a couple months ago before they were even downloaded, because they all seem cliche to me. I don't know if there's any level of technical perfection that can bring the subject back to life, but it's like a great tune that has just been played so often that it has become annoying.

#3: Personally, I'd crop a about the lower third, and I wonder if maybe a slightly higher angle wouldn't be better in this case. A gradient color matting is perfect for this shot.

#4: I wonder what this would look like with a longer lens to shorten the distance to the building. It's interesting as is, but the exaggerated distance makes the "parting" implied by the track switch seem more eventual than imminent.

I don't know, I really like #2, but maybe then I just like cliches I saw some potential for a texture out of it . . .

I like #1 a lot, too.

Use it if you like...I thought the same thing and might at some point...

I really liked the Catbird Seat too. I am not a tchotchke type (and I don't own a cat) but I wouldn't mind having that guy on my mantle.

I have two of them but the other one was just a wee bit out of focus..will reshoot him at another time...

Merrrroooooooooooow



This is a quick & dirty edit, and it really shows...
