I had a color photo drab and uninspiring I just about chucked it but then I cropped it, and converted it to Black and White.
This was the result . Being the doofus I am, I saved it as it was and did not rename it so I lost the original.

I find this photo compelling I dont know why? Maybe all those knocks to my head are starting to have a adverse affect.

    Shakester, that's a terrific shot. Love the deep contrast, the long shadows, the contrary upright lines of the trees... great shot! thumb.gif

    I like the image...very crisp and clean. The converging diagonal shadows are terrific. What bugs me about it is that I want to know where those diagonals are pointing. I want to see what's just 1/4 or 1/2" up from the top of the frame. That's unsettling to me. ne_nau.gif

    I really like that one.

    I think the thread title is an interesting one. There is usually a picture everywhere we look. It just takes the a person with an "eye" to find it.

    Again, really nice! thumb.gifthumb.gifthumb.gifthumb.gif
