In the second one, the out of focos exhaust is an interesting counterpoint to the person standing to the left and together they frame the picture nicely. Still, at a glance, it looks more like an object you <I>had</I> to deal with and you did the best you could, but not one you'd have chosen (which clearly was not the case with the first picture, there you went straight for the chrome).<BR/>Then again, putting it with words into the right context ("Urban Jungle" come to mind), it could turn out to illustrate your point perfectly. I am sure you would. ;-)Merisihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16781937797213521146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20249225.post-73936343832684002462007-10-02T23:20:00.000+11:002007-10-02T23:20:00.000+11:00Love your photos, David.

Of course we have great banter about the difference in our style and perspectives but after viewing this post I understand it better on a psychological level. Maybe it's because you're both professionally trained that gives you that edge of discovery.WalksFarWomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16442182069333713270noreply@blogger.com
