Gordon Back to look again at your photo. First because I spelled angle wrong.........LOL.......... and second because I wanted to see the metal-rust in the sunlight again. I found it interesting the first time. It still is. Good work.
Nicely done. Great colors, framing, composition, etc. I think I woulda made the street lamp's pole parallel with the side of the image though, that's all.
Very original. People might complain about the barrel distortion of the lamp post, but I think it adds to this shot, good choice of fire hydrant too, one of those flashy red or yellow ones would not have worked as well
One of 5 subjects I had taken photos of. Fire hydrants always seem to look good from the ground up and I like the silver one here.
Couldnt make my mind up whether I would have left the light in the photo or not. I could go either way. Anytime you add another subject into what is basically an inanimate object portrait shot you risk losing emphasis on the main subject.
What imagination. You have taken a very common subject and brought it to life. Your exposure is darn close to "dead nuts". The sharpness of the subject is awfully natural. Did you use a polarizer to knock down the glare on the plug and darken the sky? In my mind there are many technical difficulties to overcome to achieve this exposure, in particular the bright exposure of the fireplug while not overexposing the sky. Good job. Keep it up!
I considered this shot too. (I got bored waiting for a dog to come along :)) Unlike most shots that have a pole of some type in them your belongs. I like the imperfections of the finish of the fire hydrant. Good contrast.
Nice photo! Very well done. I would like to comment a little on the light pole.. this is an interesting optics problem that is hard to solve... i had similar problems shooting a lighthouse a while back... These tall pieces like to bend in the photo... Good shot!
nice framing and composition -- if I HAD to add a little criticism, I would have cropped it the tiniest bit tighter on the bottom to get rid of the tree tops (?) down next to the hydrant
Well composed, the lighting really shows off the texture and rust of the fire hydrant. Like the dark blue sky, did you use a polarizer? Nitpicky comment: there is such a small amount of a tree/bush/something just to the left of the fire hydrant at the bottom of the frame, could it not have been cropped?
