Title: "733"
Post by: Todd Suttles on October 20, 2017, 10:28:05 pm

A shot from South Georgia of the "contemporary south". Any appeal and C&C?

Good photo for your American South series.

Not strong. Interesting tableau. You're ending up with hundreds and hundreds of "lines"...something to think about. They take over somewhat...the character of the tableau. /B

I kind-of like it, but I like lines. 

The shadow detail generally seems adequate except around the dollar sign in the middle.  [I'm not sure to what it is attached.]  Or if you can bring up the shadow detail generally it might provide the lines with more of a home?

The subject is pretty good, don't know whether the "frame" out of this pillars (?) is too much, maybe one would be enough? Well, I wasn't there, and it's a complex scene, maybe a less "rectangular" composition would have been an option? Just thinking aloud.
