    Default Oakville

    Hi,
    I noticed this interesting intersection of lines and forms while taking a walk in Oakville, near to the harbour marina. Later I had a chance to catch the seagull on the top of a light post watching me and probably wondering who is this guy whit that black object in his hand...
    Any thoughts about the pictures?

    I couldn't stop staring at the first one; it kinda looks like the building was copy/pasted beside itself several times, heh. Awesome find

    I have an abhorrence for seagulls, but you almost make this one look cute He does seem to be looking at you inquisitively, haha. One thing though (very minor), maybe next time try to make the metal ring more centered?

    Good work!

    THe first has great symmetry! The second I might crop a chunk off the bottom so it was not centered/centered. Nice start though, keep posting.

    the one of the buildings has potential. see what a bit more contrast does for you and whether you can clone the shrubbery out. It's not a big deal, but distracts/detracts to my eye.

    shot 1 is way cool - love the pattern! looks like it's sloping a touch to the right though.

    Shot 2 is nice in colour but could be sharper. Hope that helps -- Marko

    Thank you all for taking time and expressing your opinions and suggestions. I found all the comments very useful. Based on those I did some changes....aligned the horizontal lines, removed some distracting objects and increased saturation, contrast.....I hope the new version is better than the old one.

    I find the first image more appealing, and I know the exact location, so I'll comment on it.

    I love the look of repeating patterns in photography.

    This would make a fine candidate for a B&W conversion. I think that you'd be very satisfied with the results. Give it some thought.

    Thanks for posting this image.

    Peace
    Peter
