Roger--
When you say "I take a lot of mundane photos; the motive being, I saw something that appealed to me and wanted to share it, and I guess I have a pretty low "appeal" threshold," you sum up--to my mind--a good part of what being a photographer is all about. Bravo!--Keep it up . . .
--George

Well--first I must disagree with David. Far from being "ordinary," this shot is an unusually effective study in contrasting textures and colors. These qualities are enhanced by the compression induced by the strong vertical cropping. Like all really good aesthetic choices, this one is unexpected and yet apparently inevitable. It can't be framed any other way without diminishing the impact of the image.
There is a lot to to be learned from this work.
Well done!
--George

Chris, I tried "burning in" the gardeners clothing, but as I darkened it it changed to a strange bluish colour that looked quite unnatural so I settled for burnt-out white as the best compromise. The contrast you mention is what drew my eye in the first place.

I like the vertical slice and the stones very very nice...

Looks like it was a very hot and sunny day, Roger ~ the person's clothing looking a little burnt out. A nice contrast between the dull-coloured rocks in the foreground and the brightly coloured flowers in the middle.
Kind regards, Chris

Don't apologise, David, I appreciate the fact you visited at all--and took the trouble to comment. I take a lot of mundane photos; the motive being, I saw something that appealed to me and wanted to share it, and I guess I have a pretty low "appeal" threshold. I've been playing with the vertical panorama format off and on for about a year now, and find that it focuses my attention in new ways. Now to visit YOUR portfolio! [grin]

The only thing that attracted me to this image was the very tight cropping in the Thumbnail - now I see the full image It is very ordinarty and disappointing - sorry

The rock bend give a nice perspective and depth. Excellent work, Roger, great framing. Regards, Rob.
