Flyinggina

Here are three variations on a theme. Do any of them work for the challenge? C&C welcome. Thanks!! Virginia

hi flyinggina! by chance are your photos in the order they were taken? if so, i think by the third one you were starting to get warmed up! the more up close and personal you get the stronger your subject becomes. i like all the fencing in the b/g.

Hi Virginia,

The photos are nice, but the fence (which I suppose is the focal point?!) needs to be better illustrated - I see from the second and third pic. that there is more of the fence further afield, maybe you could reshoot from there to make it a stronger image?!

If nothing else, #1 would be the most challenge-oriented of all three (I mean, if you talk angular, although they all mostly say "lines" to me...)
However, the light is so-so and the whole image has certain snapshoty feeling about it. Some radical post-processing may help (inversde b/w? hard lught? faux-IR? need to try... ), please see WA#32 for ideas.
Or you can still try somethning else. I am going to, for instance:-)
Good luck!

Thanks Tessa, Sunita and Nik. Your comments are helpful. Unfortunately, a reshoot is not possible before Sunday night. Still, you have all given me some good ideas for the next time I have a chance to photograph the horses and their fence.

Tessa, the pictures are posted, I think, in reverse order of taking. I was moving back and finishing up when I took #1. I have quite a few others so I'll check them out with everyone's comments in mind to see if any of them provides improvement.

Sunita, I have shots that show more of the fencing but they didn't seem to work as well for me as these three for putting the emphasis on the fence and its corner. I'll look at them all again when/if I get a chance, just in case there is a great one lurking.

Nik, you are right about the photo saying "lines." There is only the one potentially interesting angle - the corner, I like that it is not 90 degrees. If I have time (totally busy weekend coming up with little time to shoot or play with pp), I may try some dramatic pp. The photo was taken in morning light, but not at dawn, alas.

Hi Gina, I think #1. If you find some time, consider b&w .

Thanks Jill. Very good suggestion!! I will make time - sometime.... .... and see what I think.

Flyinggina, I also like #1 and, since you can't reshoot with better light, some pp, either color or b&w, may help. Hope you get the time to work on it.

Thanks, Dave. I appreciate your comments and encouragement. I plan to put some time into it tomorrow evening if I am still able to move after a jam packed 45th college reunion weekend!
