I think you should have stuck a model of a wooden boat on that post and you could have entered all three categories with one shot! ;-) Seriously, Dave, I like this. It's simple but effective. Wonderful composition: everything is where it should be in the background, the road, the farm, it all works very well with the placement of that tilted post. The "line" of dried plants and post are all nicely focused and the background is OOF in just the right amount - not to much, but enough to make the foreground pop. Call it "Godfrey in the Country" or "Rural Minimalist"... ;-) I like it a lot! cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
