In response to your request for comment: For someone who really appreciates clarity in a subject-focused image, this picture really works. The beautifully sharp lines in both the three-dimensional and two-dimensional letters are extremely pleasing. There is a subtle softness to the forground and background elements that works well in this image, completely avoiding the chance of a busy composition, but instead adding well to the overall effect, and enhancing the setting. The position of the camera in this image works so well in leading one's eye along the path of the image, giving us a chance to linger at all the different objects: a stoplight, a street sign, an old conveyence, and multiple roof ventilation fans whose frequency and unique shape truly add to the exceptional quality of this composition. The sepia-like duotone gives an antique feel to the subject matter. My only criticism is of the large dark patch on the stoplight. The effect may have benefitting from some very subtle dodging there. This is a wonderful picture. |
