Red reg on a grungy window sill

Just a rag behind a mechanic shop.

Very good eye there. I don't know what kinds of filters / effects you applied to the picture... but it looks awesome. Great colours and exposure. Also, the rag is positioned perfectly in my opinion.

A single suggestion for improvement---clone out the distracting line running across the upper-right. Other than this, looks just fine to me.

Thanks Alex

I agree about the distrcting line, but apart from that it is an intriguing image. You have kept all the detail in the white walls, and the lightness of this shows off the texture and colour of the rust very nicely. The red rag is a bonus.

Cheers

I agree about the cabling being distracting,

Otherwise I like it.

I think that you could use selective colour on this shot to so you get two for the price of one

OK the wire is gone...better?

Now I guess it's time to fess up, the rag was actually gray, pretty much the same color as wall, seemed to ho-hum so I colorized it :blush2:

You sneaky thang

I think it works well....good picture :-)

[Hexnut]

nice. i like the angle it was shot at...

Love the rag and the window, but all that empty white wall space around is not adding anything to this and not helping compositionally either. I think i would crop extreme here buy cutting the entire image in half to a horizontal crop. That places the entire focus on the old red rag and the immediate detail and texture of the rusted bars and water stains below the window. i just don't think we need to see the entire window here while the real meat of the image is the red rag.
Love the subject

WOW! Thanks guys, been a looong time since I had a sticky

I will try your suggestion Gary and maybe even reshoot tighter just to see what I can come up with.

[michael buchanan]

congrats on your featured photo...wonderous!

[jetrim]

Michael, you're out of the Gallery and into the forums! This is an honor

Gary, I hate you :lol: I reshot this rag today (yep, still there) and now I can't decide if I like the original better or your way...

[gahspidy]

Jet, thats exactly what i had in mind! I love it. It focuses our attention to the meat of the subject which is the textures and colors and the rag and its crumpled form. You nailed this, in my opinion anyway.
Great post processing work on this as well.
Excellent!

Jet - Congrats on making the sticky. Funny but I have somewhat of a mental block on the stickies .. I've conditioned myself to look at the post names and not the images (how's that for a photographer?). This one is very interesting but I definitely like the composition of the last post the best. I would even trim a little more off to draw more attention to the other areas. Here's what I had in mind, .. some may prefer more negative space, but I think the subject is good enough to show more of it.

Gary - and this is a good example of what you were speaking of about my WB&N thread, no?

Jet - I missed this one - your crop is excellent!! -- and a belated congrats on the sticky!

One of my favorite window shots. I do think the angle is too severe but even though it is the same in the second, I don't mind it there. I don't even mind that only part of the window shows in second shot because there is something there to give my imagination a kick, unlike other window shots I've seen recently.
