yesterday, while driving in scotland

I love this photo. it has so many things going on with it. best viewed large. A storm was following behind us in the car and I really wanted to get a shot that gave you a sense of the unique feel of the transition from sun to rain. After seeing the large tree up ahead, we pulled over and the perspective just came together.

I like roads. When I viewed this large, my eyes naturally went to the road and immediately saw that it was a patchwork of tarsnakes. That ruined it for me.

it is a nice one. Doesnt really "come together", though. And yes, the tarsnakes are bad. Great effect, but i wont vote this as a save yet...

that tree in the middle bugs me though...

i don't like the frame, maybe needs more contrast.

6 out of 10. (sigh) I imagine for the deleteme group, it's a limited success at least coming out with more than half the votes as save.

dogfaceboy says:

Fuck delete me. It's just a bunch of people who think their unkindness is clever. It's often simply unkind. It's rarely clever.

dogfaceboy says:

Oh, and check out some of the photos of the people who said the meanest things!

Really, Beau. Could you ever take that kind of criticism seriously?

Now if it were coming from someone like Tampen, you could listen and learn. Of course, he'd probably not find such pleasure in rudeness.
Posted 41 months ago. ( permalink )

absolutwade says:

oh, i don't take it personaly. And most of it *is* for the sake of being clever, still, on past comments, I have gotten some constructive criticism which I am always open to. And yes, Tampen would have constructive words, I agree. :)

This is a beautiful photo. Very much of a 'night and day' effect and the colours are quite striking. Well done!

Beautiful photo! I found it while reading an article on Chris Brogan's blog.

The contrast of colours and light make this a very dramatic photograph. The composition definitely pulls you right. Very nice!
