Lovely photo flipfrog, would love to see some EXIF details. I reallyl like how the remaining (or growing?) green on the chair in the foreground matches that of the lushness of the green grass in the distance. Keep up the great work scholar! I'd also be interested to know how much (if any) post processing you did!? if I was going to 'criticise' it at all, I'd like to see the yellow (light is it?) at the top near middle of the image gone, I find it a little distracting!

Cheers,


Geoff.

Yes this is indeed a good one. Your perspective and composition is unrivalled.

I'm rubbing my eyes and re-adjusting my glasses.
Where is the focus button on the monitor ?!

Very nice shot.
I like how the colours, green and purple repeat in different objects.

Cheers

christiand:
i tried for the moss and some of the first bench as my focal point...
i could have spent more time playing with aperture but didnt
i agree though, its hard to find a real focus....
another reason i wasnt totally happy with this pic.

Geoff: PP? yes, i did increase the saturation of the moss a tad just b/c it was shot on a overcast day...

dooda: you are too kind, just looking out for fellow vancouverite im sure

...anyways, thanks for the feedback peoplez!!

Probably one of the best shots I've seen on this forum in a while.

Thanks for contributing it.

Fantastic DOF
Composition leads the eye nicely through the frame both with the colours and the line of benches.
Makes me wonder why the park was so lonely and quite (early morning, very cold) - this mystery just adds to the quality of the photo.

For me the beauty of this photo is the simplistic follow through. Starting with the green on seat one and leading your eye through to the five other seats in a gentle curve. The green, browns and blue of the intersection all contribute to give a feeling of winter loneliness - I like

IMHO, green saturation is a little too much, I would back off there, otherwise nice shot with striking DOF, Max

This I really like... Something really different... Are we looking at chair #2?

Cheers,

I think it works really well. Just goes to show a simple thing like a park bench (or two) can be turned into a little bit of magic.

Well done and thanks for sharing.

What Chris said

The framing and use of colour make this one great pic.

[Neeper]

Wow Flipfrog, you never cease to amaze me with your talent.

Nice. I think this has commercial value as a stock photo. I can see it being used generically in ads and brochures. Interesting and colorful, but at the same time, not distracting from whatever it is they're trying to sell.

Again, nice! Good eye. I think the green is just fine. Probably just the actual color that was there.

Seriously clever image here. The flow is unmistakable. The framing of all elements is just right for mine. I don't mind the illumination of particularly the green patches, I know a photographic exposure will just do that on occasion. I also appreciate the small light and highlighted aura in top centre of the frame. This is never going to be a just once glance image - deeper investigation will always result.

Cheers,
