I'm a little torn. I really like the sky. I even like the stark difference between the sky and the foreground.

Part of me says to crop out the majority of the sky and some off the bottom, making this more of a panoramic image. of course if you did that, you would probably want to reduce the amount of red in the sky as it would be way too purple/pink.

the other part says leave it alone- well maybe it is still a little too pinky for my tastes.

let's see what other folks have to say about it

I love it. The only thing that I might try is to crop a bit of the bottom so the sky really grabs your attention. Nice capture.

Nice shot, love the colors. Takes you to another place.

This is a well balanced composition the way it is, don't worry about the negative space at the bottom, it anchors the image well. I do think this is more about the sky than the silhouette and would recommend also posting it in "Skyscapes". Cheers.

i like the composition. i don´t think green is distracting. Duck drives me to the green that is part of the picture.
I like it.

This shot is facinating to me. I love that you cut off his head. Makes me focus on other details.

It took me a few minutes to figure out what it is:) maybe this is what makes this photo so interesting!

Thanks guys

Matt: I can't decide if I like the green or not either, I'll play with it.. thanks for the idea

I love the cropping, nice work!

you are right.
Thanks

Excellent picture, I love the colours against the dreamy white background!

I am a huge fan of everyday items being shot as celebrities. This is a beautiful photo.That small shadow at the end of the cup is my favorite.

it's a cup? I totally did not get that. Sealux is such a spoiler! :) The blue ridgey area is my favorite

it´s a cup :)

I really like the coloration. The movement of the dumpster makes it almost unrecognizable. I almost wish that this photo wasn't so neatly framed by the 3 surrounding palm trees

Very nice urban shot.
I really like the blur on the dumpster.
Very unique framing.

Me gista mucho el movimiento del cubo de basura sacudido por el camión. Los colores y la composición también me gusta.
De algo tan poco atractivo como un camión de basura funcionando en plena noche has sacado buen provecho.

Lo cierto es que jessa tiene razon. a mi tp me gusta mucho que este encerrada entre las tres palmeras. Pero no os pasa que las que os parecen buenas fotos siempre son las mas complicadaas de capturar?

Nice balance of colour with the green on the edges and middle. Makes an average subject very warm and intriguing.

Beautiful picture, incredibly composed!

Nice shot, I love the softness of the colours and the effect of falling to the right...nicely done.

matt

Thank you!

I agree with Matt, but would like to add that it seems a little underexposed. I'd also crop it tighter and get rid of most (or all) of the sky.

The rich fall colors are very pretty. As mentioned there could be a little more DOF.

What a beautiful photo of my favorite time of year.. Absolutley gorgeous colors.

looks like home:)

Road drives me into the photo. The colors are great.
Nice work!

This is a great shot! At first I noticed the nice blend of colours, then I noticed the huge hole in front of the barn. Great contrast of emotions and well composed.
matt

I love simplicity and colour, well done. And I'm very glad that you did not remove the broom, most people would have but it's add a little visual interest in the middle of the pic. Nice eye.

matt

Thanks, always nice to hear!

Do you use Photoshop or any software that has lens distortion correction. This technique could have helped this a lot. I would, also, crop out the door latch in the upper left corner. I love the broom handle against the wall, in the warm light. It is the best part of the image to me.

Beautiful muted colors... The blurriness really works here for some reason.

Great muted colors! did you achieve the blur in camera or in photoshop? Love it.

I achieved it right in camera, Pageextent. I used a Holga 120 CFN. Thanks for the comment!

WOW, I really love this shot and yes I agree the bluriness is great! I also like the large shadow a lot. keep up the good work
