Description
i fell in love with this composition once i got started on itit seems i either prefer the completely obvious and
simplified conceptualisations or the extremely subtle images
that reveal something very minor.
these images generally get less attention because nobody
has the time, patience, or interest to look at them.
i can't say exactly what i like about it, but when i look
at it i feel an overwhelming sense of detachment.
there are no humans, there are no vehicles.
the vibrant trees and grass in the distance look as if
they're in another world - washed and drowned out
by the overbearingly stale and inorganic landscape the
the foreground. it looks foreboding, no?

mixed feelings from me here... it's reminded me of the road trips I take a few times every year from Adelaide to my parents place in north central victoria.
On the way there are so many railside silo's like this you loose count!! your comments rain true... who ever really stops to even look at theese things???
I just didn't realise how homesick one persons innocent picture could make me feel... sadly no road trips for me this easter, no traditional family camp, no long lost friends to catch up with ... just a lonely,miserable me and a stinking city !!
*end of rant*

Yeah I agree, this one was kind of hidden away from the road. For me it doesn't connotate feelings of homesickness though

It has a really beautiful balance, everything from the sky to the ground.

Country victoria no? It is a nice shot man, interesting that it has taken a while to grow on you, or have you just discovered it?

i read your text before of see the image but i agree with what you wrote. i just differ on one thing, i don't bother to know why i like it so much, and don't try to discretize the details that make this shot so good
as usual, awesome work

its the perfect balance that gets me about this. It's not something you've set up, it's a complicated composition but it comes out looking natural, poised.... just the right amount of contrast too.
Great work!
Ps. Notice how you used to only do architecture and now you only do portraits it seems?

Yeah, it's been a natural progression though. Never thought I'd enjoy portraits back when I was doing architecture though

Of course, if I remember correctly you thought you weren't up to them.. silly to think of now.
