Oh! It's so beautiful! Like wheels in motion!
I feel like for the first time I have really looked at a spiderweb!
Thank you for posting this! |

What a find! I love the black and white.
I really want to see all three webs in black and white, could you show us? I suspect the green blobs won't be so disturbing in B&W. Could we see?
The crop you did added a sense of depth to the image that the original doesn't have.
It's really beautiful. |

Makes me think of Monet's waterlily paintings, he has sections in those paintings that are a lot like this.
Really powerful and meditative. The softness Andrew mentions doesn't bother me.
I agree that it would be great to see a series of your abstracts together. |

I too love this image. I find it very powerful. And better appreciated on a bigger screen.
I like most of the work you've done, especially straightening the lines. I did like something about the darker image: symbolically, the setting of the sun on the post office as we know it. I'm not saying darken all the way back to the original, but the picture as it is is a bit overwhelming to the senses with all its detail.I would like to see what it looks like if brought down just a little bit.

Your street photographer's eye is good. The moment you captured is fantastic.
I found the crop too tight. There was something about how the children were playing and there was this long empty walk behind them that I liked in the original.
As others have said, too much denoise. Makes it creepy.
The new cellphone cameras are very good at this kind of photography. I have taken some pictures of moonrise or set through my window and the phone will make it look sharp and bright as day if I let it. Might be better for this kind of photography than walking around with the 5D3 (same camera I have) and a lens in your pocket. These moments can be too fleeting for that kind of planning.
See my comments to Julie where I talk about Maher's "quiet street photography." I feel that this image falls into that category too. |

I recently watched a webinar by James Maher about street photography in suburbs in small towns. Your image reminds me of some of what he talked about. It's street photography but it captures something fleeting and on the fly but quiet and meditative. The slider work you did brings out the textures. We don't need to be in a busy urban center to do good street photography.
This blog sums up his ideas on that: https://www.jamesmaherphotography.com/street_photography/street-photography-in-quiet-places-and-small-towns/

The statues have a lot of energy and draw in my attention. I don't think blurring the background would solve the distracting background problem, because the clash of the garish green and even the rich blue is too much of a contrast with the matching muted brick and the rusted metal of the statues. I thought the solution might be to play with cropping. |
