    I really like how you framed this-- leaving some space on the left compensates for the busy right.

    And I wish you'd left less on the left on more on the right but the centering fits your series well.
    Another good capture. I'm thinking when you get enough of these put together you could make a book.
    Keep Shooting!

    Thanks Fx, Thanks Frog. There as actually a Nissan truck setting on the right. I had to clone part of it. I have went by this subject several times an the truck always seems to be there. There are some post on the left that you can see if you look hard, They show up better in the color edit. I thought they might fit in the print.

    Greg,

    I keep looking at this and wanting more, but I can;t put my finger on what I want. It just feels empty with no story behind it for me. Perhaps I want to see some of next door in the pic.

    Perhaps its the tonality.

    Its driving me nuts trying to figure this out.

    Greg,

    I copied onto the PC and played with it and I now know what was bugging me.

    If you look at the photo, it speaks of dilapidation but the tonality did not back this up, not gritty enough. I did a small adjustment with the curves to deepen the shadows and kept the highlights where they are and bob's your uncle I love it.
