Here are 3. I'm thinking I might enter one in the "Rough" challenge.

Any thoughts???

Thanks so much!!
Trish


#1 rough tractor




#2 rough shadows




#3 rough window

My fav is the second photo. I like the way the shadows 'ripple' across the metals. I think the element you're aiming for is 'a rough environment' with a touch of urban artistry. You should spend more time at the area and see what other types of shots you can compose and maybe focus more on the urban grafitti. :pokekeep poking around!

Hi Trish,
nice set of photos! the one that sticks out most to me is #2. That is interesting and I love the lighting and shadows. Boy that is one rough tractor though! From these photos I can picture you taking these from some old abandoned, city warehouse near a junk yard! hope you had someone with you! If it were me, since there are some strong lines in your 2nd one, I might try to make them perfectly level horizontally. Like the line along the bottom has a little slope to it. But to me that's only nitpickin. I love the photo anyways.

the second shot really catches my eye. That one gets my vote out of the three.

Second shot...level it out, then crop it really focussing on the center. Maybe a little shadow in the upper left and lower right corners. I'd take out the top row of glass only revealing the bottow row.

Thanks for the comments Mr Peas!!

I would LOVE to 'spend more time at the area', but I'm not entirely sure of my welcome. Something about the chain on the door and the window I had to crawl through.

But I am planning on trying to get back for some morning light. The sun will be coming in the other side of the building and I have an idea that will be pretty special.

I like to stay away from focusing too much on the grafitti because I think of that as a reproduction of another artist's work. I like having their work as an element of mine, but I know a few street artists, and it's considered bad form.

I think #2 is my favorite too.

cheers!
Trish

Thanks!!

It's even more romantic that you've imagined. Not quite a junk yard, but an old abandoned Warehouse in a run down ship yard. Parts of the walls are missing on the bulkhead side and when you're inside the warehouse you can lean right out over the water. It's really a beautiful and strange place.

Here are some shots of the outside of the building that I took in December.

Thanks for taking the time to comment. I'll fool around with the leveling and see if it improves the image.

cheers!
