I converted the first couple of pics to black and white. I like the
curves of the first, but am not sure if the background is distracting.

I think this is a pretty amusing shot :): . The bridge shaped like a trash can!

    I love #2 BUT #3 shows an great creative viewpoint - I'm torn between the two. Technically #2 is a much better shot and very pleasing to view. #3 shows a neat concept of "curves".

    I knew, of course, that trees and plants had roots, stems, bark, branches and foliage that reached up toward the light. But I was coming to realize that the real magician was light itself.

    I like #2, best. Even for curves.

    all good shots.

    I think #3 is very amusing. It would get some smiles if it was hung on the wall. But #2 is the better photograph. Great composition and right on the money for curves. Great shot. thumb.gif

    I agree with the group...#2 is definately well-shot. I think #3 has potential though. I would love to see a re-shoot of it in different lighting maybe. It reminds me of a shot I saw once of half-dome in Yosemite with a trash can in the forground that looked exactly like it. Click here to check it out.

    That is a an interesting shot. Something about the radiating clouds and
    the angle of the trash can is appealing.

    Next time around I'll give the #3 another go. Any suggestions on how
    it may be improved?

    #2 and #3 are both fun (#2 is better). I just wish you hadn't cropped them so tight. thumb.gif

    Hmmm...well, maybe wait until the light is really cool (sunset, etc)...that way the sky will have some character without being to distracting... Maybe a night shot with a long exposure..if there's enough light on the bridge...you could wave a flashlight past the surface of the trash can during the exposure to give a nice effect... Just throwing out some crazy ideas.
