    Re: Home Alone

    It is a good subject and well worth some effort to get some better images. this is a nice enough establishing shot but the sky lacks interest and the light is too contrasty. I do like that you included some foreground interest with the broken wood.
    No, I DON'T need that.

    Rick - I like the subject, but as for the image it just seems too geometric to me. The bus lining up with the side of the frame like that.. it just seems like a bookend. I don't know about the wood there either... 60/40 that it should go. It could disappear when you try the other angles I alluded to. Maybe you can get back there and have another go?

    Would love to see this in B&W. I think it would be a nice and contrasty shot.

    It's a pity you didn't get any of the interior...
