This is the winner for me..maybe not being able to see whole house leaves something to the imagination. This shot just seems more balanced. I like it..well done.

I like this one better--the tires so effectively mimic the mountains, and there is more mystery with the single house--you really have to stop and question the scene, and think about what's happening. This is just a wonderful shot, so nicely balanced and exposed!

This photograph was selected as one of forty photographs in the How We Are Now Flickr group which invited members of the public to submit their photographs to the exhibition How We Are: Photographing Britain at Tate Britain in 2007. The Final 40 photographs were shown at Tate Britain for the last month of the exhibition and are archived on Tate Online.

We would like to congratulate kykirkwood and thank all those who took part in the project.

ponyintheair says:

Hey, i am back...and went to The Tate Britain on Friday. Saw this (of course). I took some pictures with film. If any come out decently I will send you a copy. Did you you make it down?
Posted 28 months ago. ( permalink )

kykirkwood says:

Thanks very much Paul, Whirrdz and Theodore!

Hello ponyintheair. Thanks for the offer of a print. I couldn't get down to see the exhibition, sadly, so a memento would be really nice. Did you enjoy seeing your image and the rest of the show?

Shutterhack says:

"Composition" comes from "composite," which has more to do with a variety of elements coming together as a whole. In a composition parts are related precisely because of the whole. One of main factors to be taken into account when we compose is relationship between elements of a photograph. The question I'd like to raise will sound something like this "What is it about the relationship of the objects in a picture that makes it interesting to see?" For example at f2.8, the compositional relationship of the main subject to its surroundings will be much different than at f22. It still seems to me that this photo here was created with very good compositional qualities and a sure excellent piece of work.

This is beautifully composed..so simple yet with alot of feeling....it makes me think about how life in this country can be affected by urbanisation and traffic. I hope the house managed to survive being swalled up....
