12 Feb 20 Comment I think I prefer the original shot so that I can understand better that this is a fence and how it relates to its location. Your closer crop feels too cropped to me, especially because the bottom black post hole is partially cut off. One idea for another view of the fence would be to focus farther into the fence or even at the far end of it. I like seeing the black shadow lines of the fence on the ground. Feb 24th
12 Feb 20 Reply I keep trying to take photos of this bark that I like. The tree is near my mail box, so I see it in all seasons. The bark seems to look the same all year round. So far, I haven't found any good patterns. I'll try macro some day when I have my tripod with me. Good idea! Feb 24th
12 Feb 20 Reply This tree is still doing this "bark" thing, even today in the dead of winter with no green at all! Feb 24th
12 Feb 20 Reply Some suggestions for your 2nd shoot would be using a really wide angle lens and also to stand far back while using a long telephoto lens. That would give you some different looks to the patterns. Feb 24th
12 Feb 20 Comment I'm fascinated by the patterns and am trying to figure out which parts are the fence and which is the floor. Your composition and placement of the horizontals and verticals feel comfortable when I look at it. I feel I can take time to figure out what I'm seeing without being too confused. Knowing the title of Fence Lines helps with my enjoyment of your image. The image looks interesting to me without the white part at the top, too. Feb 6th
12 Feb 20 Comment I rather like the tilted angle because it gives an unusual feeling to an otherwise static, horizontal chessboard. I wish the large chess piece on the left wasn't cut off. I wish the busy background of the room was either more out of focus or darker. Maybe someone could have held a plain colored cloth behind the table to help with your setup and block the view of the room. I wonder if a sepia tone would give us more of a feeling of wood for the chess pieces. Feb 5th
12 Feb 20 Comment It's a good choice of subject for our theme of wood. You have a wood camera on a wood table! I'd like to see all of the camera as sharp as the front lens is. I'm guessing that your aperture was at a shallow setting and focused on the lens. I find it disappointing that the word EXPOSED is rather blurry. I think a darker rather than lighter vignette would keep the attention on the camera. Feb 5th
12 Feb 20 Reply I wish the bark design could have some kind of interest point, but no matter how many times and years I go to this tree, I get the same miscellaneous look! I was hoping some viewers might see specific images in the bark in the same way that people see animals or whatever in clouds! Feb 5th
