This is the third park bench shot I've seen in this challenge and I like it just as well as the other two, but for a different reason. Although similar to the others in that it is the park bench theme and you kept it in black and white, it is very different as well. In the other picures, the bench itself was the off-center subject. In yours, you centered the bench but made the man the off-center focal point. I love this because it caused me to realize an act of human nature, that whenever we sit on a park bench, we almost always choose to sit on one side or the other, not the center. Why is that? To me, photography is much more than the picture--it is how you capture the essense of what you are photographing. I like how you did that here. Thank you for this wonderful picture. I can't vote on this challenge, but if I could, you'd be among my highest marks. |
