I cannot find a link between the carriage and the building other than one is old and one is new. And in a challenge like this, when people are going thru item after item of periodic elements, one has to stop and think about what is being conveyed beyond the carriage here. And then since the building is a puzzle, it becomes an outlier in this challenge. To the voting brain, it suddenly doesn't fit. And then you get the first reactions like I had. Not sure if that makes sense or not.
The processing is interesting. What did you use?
Anyway, I think you have a very interesting scene here, because who would expect this antique to be sitting around an industrial area? What a shame it has not been taken care of more properly. |
Well, I now recognize that others wouldn't get that deep a meaning from it. It was lost so to speak to the challenge elements required.
Good point about the cars being in the background but, what I was really aiming for was THE ELEMENTS. That being said, I was aiming for the difference of the IRON & WOOD, VS THE CEMENT AND GLASS AND ALUMINUM.
I went way too deep, I guess and I have to learn...stock shot, stock shot....nothing with any deep meaning in here! :) |

| I feel like a dense ignoramus after beating up your last couple of entries in voting! I only get what you were showing once it is explained. Oh, well, at least I left a comment explaining, right? |

Were you going for a feature of the old carraige, or the contrast of old and new? Either way the concept would work, but theres a problem, the background.
As it is, the subject is placed strongly in the center of the frame making the background seem incidental. To feature the carraige, try to remove as many distractions as possible. Try a low or high angle in this case. To contrast the carraige with the buildings, try to give them more or less equal weight in the image. In this case you could keep the carraige off to one side of the frame, for example. |

| I find it very interesting that an antique buggy would be allowed to fall apart in the open like this. the photo could probably benefit from a little sharpening and if there was a perspective without that eye-drawing building in the background, that may have helped as well. I hope you have some more info on how this got here and why. |

| A great idea but the industrial looking building and fence in the background really deducts a lot from this. I guess there was no way you could have avoided getting it in the frame. |

| The colors seem "off" to me and the image appears "flat". It may be my monitor, but overall this image just isn't hitting it out of the ball park for me. Maybe it is the small amount of iron compared to the overall image. Seems kind of like a "shoe horn" image. You had it and found a way to "fit it into" this challenge. Best of luck to you. |

| Would have been a stronger picture wihout the building in the background. Maybe could have taken from a different angle or used more shallow DOF. Neat looking old carriage - I think I would be going back there again and again for photo ops. |

| If only you could crop out the pesky building in the background. It is a little distracting. I'm guessing this shot isn't any better from the other side. Nice colors on the carriage. |
