Twisted #1

I took two shots of this fence wire separator and the associated barbed wire, but can't decide which is better, so I've uploaded both.

    I do like this too. Very simple and strong. Good dof and connection to the clouds as well.

    This one I like bestest but then again, the other one has more detail in it.

    Seen in my contacts's photos. (?)

    Yep the clouds and the softness of the background do it for me in the shot Melissa. If I'd just managed to get the detail in the wire that I got in the other one it'd be perfect.

    Thanks Maria! :)

    Agreed Tim. I suspect that if I had spot metering I might have been able to pull the wire detail out, but I'm not sure. If so, it'd be the first time I really could have used it.

    Thanks Jill, I reckon I'm leaning that way too.

    i like this one better. i like the darker wire and the little highlights on the curves. i also like the way it is hanging there. it is a more pleasing composition to my eye too.
  • David de Groot said:
    The composition is definitely better in this one Greg, that's for sure. I'm not so certain about the darker wire though. I'm thinking I may need to revisit on another occasion and try a few more things.
    BTW, I was out trying to catch livestock piccies for that comp. you posted about. Didn't get anything I liked though.

    Gotta have the spreader Dave, just gotta have it mate!
    When the fence breaks down you have a great campfire toasting fork.
  • David de Groot said:
    Ah that's true Kev, although we used to use a variety of things including bent pieces of straight (as in not-barbed) fencing wire and stripped wattle branches. Even now, our most recent marshmellow toasting was using sticks we'd found on the beach. ;-)

    This one works better for me too, David. I prefer the composition in this one - a bit simpler and more pleasing to my eye somehow.

    Thanks David :)

    I like this one because of the blurry hills(?) and clouds in the background.
  • David de Groot said:
    hills/mountains all just terminology really ;) The grassed area is a hill/knoll, that's why there's so much of it in the shot. Yep, I like the clouds too Margot :)

    Merci Helen. Voyez que je ne parle pas un mot de Français mais ce traducteur maniable a fait un désordre complet de cette phrase pour moi.
