Response to Companion to Tony's shopping carts, Savannah Ga.

from Tony Rowlett (rowlett@alaska.net)
J.R. Farrar said "However the horizon or in this case the wall to sidewalk being off balance throws the picture off a bit. Also I would crop the left side a tad more as well."

I know why you said that (I think) but it is precisely these types of "defects" that make a photograph interesting, even unresolved, like another shot of mine I called "Mailbox." (I should post it) If the frame was adjusted slightly from the left (cropping), as you suggested to presumably better center the upper portions of the pipes, something would be lost. Did you mean that the side walk isn't perfectly level in that this was taken at a very slight angle to the wall? I might agree with the unevenness were more pronounced. It hits me as level, and when my concentration goes immediately to the more bold elements, I don't think about it. I like angles quite a lot. For me, that's why my shopping carts one works. I'll bet this would also work with angles.
