    Great capture! Might want try cloning out the weeds and the wires and you could have a poster. I'm also wondering, since you kinda mentioned it, if it might be more effective with the lid up. But its a very humorous shot as is.

    My mom is 88 years old and has told me stories about having to use an outside toilet before in the winter and now I can see just how bad it must have been. Nice shot! Jeff

    This looks fun Greg. I feel that the crop is too tight here; I think had you shown us more of it's surroundings the end result would have been even more enjoyable.

    Re: Chair Caning

    Thanks all. I haven't used an outside toilet I would admit to since I was a kid.LOL Tom here is a very close to uncropped version. Just right of frame is the edge of the wall and street. Just left of frame a garage door. I felt the further out I pulled the less impact the toilet had.LOL... But feel free to crop this one if you wish. I went back and forth myself a lot before I chose the first version. I thought the sign was a bit centered on the second version.

    Nice shot! I agree that the first is a better pic cause of the 'centering' of the sign but I also think that a wider angle might have been more interesting. Of course, not knowing what was outside that view I am only speculating.:thumbsup:

    Re: Chair Caning

    it certainly makes you wonder, I am at least glad to see that the toilet is broken and not set up to work out there! But a little worried why someone might have put it there, by that sign no less. Great shot, great attention to geometry as usual Greg!

    *edit - I prefer the tighter crop.

    Re: Chair Caning

    Great color.
    I'm not sure whether I like the cropped or un-cropped better.
    I don't like the wire shadows but what can you do.
    Keep Shooting!

    Anbesol thanks. This is at an old antique mall. It is being remodeled, I think. Thanks Frog I guess I could go back on a cloudy day and the shadows wouldn't be there.
