Narrowing it down

Poll question: Narrowing it down

Dust. My wife likes this one. Looking at me for nearly 30 years has taught her what is not Wabi Sabi.




Fuel Filter. I like this one, but what do I know?




Oxidized. A wall that owes its state to biker bar patrons pausing to relieve a pressure build up.

1. Hard not to be seduced by all three

but Oxidized just has an "it" factor. Pretty close to being a perfect shot, at least to my very subjective standards.

[alfredo]

2. Thanks. I am a very poor judge of my own work. I fall in love with one

element in an image, and stop thinking of the whole picture.

[JeffR]

6. I understand how that can happen

but invariably, I fall in love with your images, and consider myself an impeccable judge of your work,

7. Thanks. I thought either Dust or Oxidized would have won out over the

claustrophobic Fuel Filter in the above poll. I might have skewed the poll by saying I liked it. They might have picked it to be supportive of what they think would be my pick.

I over think. I need to feel.


I consider you a top shelf photographer with a good eye for composition.

As a young man I was influenced by the ashcan school of art. This image reminded me of that style. It even has a twenty first century "ashcan."

3. I liked the Fuel Filter

Beneath the grime that is the dirty grease, there is some pretty brilliant colors to be had.

4. thanks. I like the color of the bowl.

14. Here's the filter in entirety.

The Steampunk in my likes this one.

5. I'm with JeffR...

Oxidized does it for me...

I love the design, and the textures!

[alfredo]

8. Thanks. It's like a "drop shadow" to me. I will decide what to enter, and it

might not even be among the three above. It will have more to do with what I like at the time I hit that Post message button.

9. Oxidized is the one for me. (I voted but did not speak then)

A rarity.
I love that image. It has so much depth and surprise.

[alfredo]

10. Thanks. That was the only image I liked in the early phase of that outing.

The other phase was finding the antique tractor show.

11. Orphan tools

12. I like them all

but "Oxidized" really nails it for me. It's simple with an awesome composition The contrast between the wood and the rust, the light and the dark I cannot see being improved upon. :-)

13. Thanks. Oxidized appears to be the one.
