    Re: Coffee Company Billboard

    These are both fine. I like the sign in the second shot with the busy bulletin board underneath it. The position of the bike right under the board is a bit heavy, but the scene is still enjoyable. i really like the first shot of all the mumble jumble on that busy board. See, this is something i would pass up because scenes like that do not capture me or attract me too well. however, when I see it like this from anothers photo, I appreciate it alot more than if I were just passing it bu on my own. good framing of it too.

    Re: Coffee Company Billboard

    gary - Thanks for your observations,.. This scene caught me immediately, something about a lot of information haphazardly slapped inside a small area.

    But looking at it again, I see a flaw: I went for the composition, but didn't concern myself with what I was shooting. I should have found a particular interesting ad and included that, or centered on it.

    Well, lesson learned

    Personally, I think you got the right peice of that puzzle. Looking at all of the ads, they all seem to be straight on the board except the one that you caught in your composition. the crooked ad that is on the top sets of the frenzy of the rest. I also think that they are all interesting to read and look over.
