Scrapped

[lfc1892]

I really liked the texture and shapes on this shot.. Processed to bring out the shapes, colours and textures more and cropped to give a cramped/squashed feel.

MUCH better on the large link so please click away. Being on black also helps a lot...

This is a nice Ida and a good shot,but crushed might have been a better title ;-)

 

[lfc1892]

Thanks for the input guys. The graffiti is a very subjective one, and I'd be biased on it as I love graffiti!

Crushed would work well as a title. Called it 'rust' first, but glad I didn't stick with it!

Really like this one.

Have you tired it as a B&W or split tone?
Id like to see that.

If you don't mind I might give it a go. and post up the result.

Never been there mate and don't want to go unless it's a booking

I like it but i would like to see it with maybe a little HDR to really bring the texture out?

 

[lfc1892]

Thanks for the replies and input guys, most appreciated.

Nice texture - keep the graffiti, it breaks up the repetitiveness nicely.

Nice shot, i am a fan of the graffiti too

 

[lfc1892]

thanks for the replies and comments guys. most appreciated.

 

[viv1969]

I like it...and I like the graffiti being there. It makes for a nice contrast.

 

[lfc1892]

Thanks for the kind words. Glad you like the graffiti too.

The contrast between brown and the yellow graffiti gives the image a subject as opposed to being a background. Lovely concept. Wish my local scrap yards did something similar!

 

[lfc1892]

Many thanks for the kind words. Glad you like the shot.

 

[Digitall]

Another vote for the yellow, have you tried it with a black BG as opposed to the light it has now?

 

[Les McLean]

Oh I like this, a real abstract feel to it, I agree about keeping the graffiti.

And it does look best against your flickr black bacground.

 

[billybob99]

Like this alot would look good on a wall very nice abstract would like to see black and white version

 

[lfc1892]

thanks for the replies folks. it does look better against a black background which is why it looks nice on Flickr. Still working on a mono and will post it asap. thanks again.

 

[Dave in Wales]

Sorry for the second post but I keep revisited it.

This is one of the best shots I've seen in years.

 

[Surrey Weddings]

love the shot, if i was to be super critical get the light coloured wheel on the thirds lines, for a (imho) better composition

 

[lfc1892]

Dave in Wales - that's a massive compliment mate and very much appreciated. Thanks.
Surrey Weddings - thanks for the advice and comments and glad you like the shot. will have a play when I get a chance as have to do a mono version so will play with it then.

 

[dubstylz]

Very kool shot, cant help but wonder what a high contrast B+W would look like too

 

[lfc1892]

thanks for the feedback. I keep meaning to get around to processing a mono shot and promise i will asap. still catching up on other shots but will post a version over the next few days. thanks.

 

[Scottie68]

I rather like this. Love the framing and very different. I also think the graffiti adds to the shot. Great find

Just looked at it on your flickr and looks even better with the black background

 

[lfc1892]

thanks for the kind words. glad you like it. i know what you mean about the mean about the black background as I nearly put a border on it to tighten it up. thanks.
