Interesting shot Yoyo, I like the contrast with the background and also from the left hand side of the image to the right and the way you have captured the washing line and the hanger provide further contrast. The thing that I keep on wondering is, how would this image look if the tshirt was actually dry, I am finding the shape a little difficult to grasp, other than that, I like it!
Hi Herriot,
Thanks for the comment. In fact, the shot was taken with a Canon 5D. I got it this Wednesday evening. I have not emailed you becasue I only have time to test it today. I will test it tomorrow and hopefully I will post some more photos.

Yoyo, You got the 5D? One word: wow! That's a camera I would really enjoy. In fact this is THE only camera so far that make me want to switch for Canon but it doesn't exactly fit into my budget at that point in time lol. Oh well, chances are that I will get the 5D Mk2 (or whatever they call it) when the 5D get replaced by something else in two years or so.
About the picture, I find that I like it a lot. The compostion could hardly be simplier but the textures that you managed to retrieve (excellent exposure of the shirt and of the wall as well) make the whole thing works. My only nitpic would be about the way the cord enter the frame. I don't think that you could crop this out because you would crop the hanger as well and it would look odd. On the other hand, I am thinking that since the cord have to be there, seeing more of it might lead to a more enjoyable effect (but that's just a small detail, I am being picky).
I like what you see here Yoyo. I feel a little more contrast is needed. The shirt needs to stand out a little more.Auto focusing I would image would have problems here. Composition wise I see no problems with.

Yoyo, I like your composition here and the subject of the lonely vest?( I see it as a tee shirt) is a good one. I only wish the color of the shirt were darker, or the bg were darker. As it is, it lacks the contrast that I personally would like to see. Also, I find the clothes line and the hanger to be the elements that entertain me most in this, for some reasons.
I hope you like the 5D, as it is the camera that I hope to aquire in the near future. It's full frame sensor and resolution ( and price) have it in my sights. enjoy!
Hi Seb, The line is also my worry and I am happy you mentioned it.
Hi Tom, Yes, I overlooked the contrast. I was focussed at what I had seen and tried to reporduce the image in my mind. I agree that a higher contrast would make the shot better.
Hi Gary, Maybe you are right, it is a tee. Yes, a higher contrast would make the tee stand out. I shot with the 5D today and am still getting familiar with it.
