Bucket on a Stick

Friends have removed a besa block garden and there were a couple of reinforcing rods still left in the ground. To avoid accidents, buckets were hanging from the rods. As the sun went down, I couldn't help but shoot one of the shadows.

Re-uploaded with a much lighter vignette. I think this may be considerably better.

    Ohh you almost got me there - at first glance I almost thought it was a bucket on a stick ....

    Deceptive isn't it David ? ;-)

    Well composed. Seeing the texture in this was a good surprise.

    Hehehe...this is nice and for some weird reason it made me think of a broadway shows. :o)
  • David de Groot said:
    Thanks Melissa. Yeah the wall is one of those old rendered ones, quite a bit of texture there.

    Can't imagine why Margot ;-) hehehe

    Ha, and here was I thinking that you had deliberately set up the shot!
  • David de Groot said:
    Well I added the vignette, but I guess it does look like it was there to start with. :)

    Love the texture.
    Vignette maybe a bit too strong (and quite unexpected for a 400D!!! :-)
    Nice minimalist work.
    Is there a Bucket group somwhere? Surely there has to be a Bucket group?
  • David de Groot said:
    Yeah I liked the vignette last night, not too sure now. Might need to upload a non-vignette version to compare...

    I'm sure there is at least one bucket group... in fact, there's probably a bucket shadow group....

  • ferrous said:
    Cool shot! I like the vignetting, but perhaps just a little more subtle.
  • David de Groot said:
    Well I swung completely the other way and left only a very light vignette. The other one was indeed way too heavy.
  • ferrous said:
    i like the change. :-)

    Seen in my recent comments. (?)
  • David de Groot said:
    Yeah, I think I just got a little carried away with the vignetting the other night.
  • ferrous said:
    these things happen. :-)

    It's Ned Kelly. He would kind of look a bit like that now I should think.

    hehehe - I was thinking it was somewhat like a French Legionnaire's hat.
