Comments: stacked

nice depth of field, but colors are little odd, combination of red and green is not good. Perspective and sharpeness are nice.

i disagree. (some) colors may still look good alongside each other even though they are not complimentary. i like the red/green. great job, as always.

Wow! I love this picture. Great combination of (almost monochrome) color.

...and composition, I wanted to say.

Great photo and composition!

red and green NOT good? they ARE complementary colours, technically speaking, and i think that the glimpse of green makes this image extraordinary...
i love it!

The composition and the colours make this a special photograph.

Ignore the first comment - this is a GREAT shot. Once again, Sam, you manage to make the everyday things we would normally walk by look AMAZING! I love it.

Why are the benches stacked up already? It's going to be hotter today than a lot of the summer...they should leave them out until frost is likely.

unless y'all got your monitors identically calibrated, they're all gonna look different!

i can't see how you can comment on colours. sure, the benches are red and green, but they're also somewhat saturated on this monitor, but on my laptop LCD they look a little more neutral. is that how they really looked off the CCD?

just one of the many problems with digital photography.

otherwise i quite like the DoF and composition of this shot. could make a nice print, or postcard; "your bum was here" :)

Was Sam supposed to get a can of red paint and paint the green bench red???? Hey, maybe later today I'll go around the city painting over all the 'bad' colours so that they all match!!!

A whole new meaning of "painting the town" ;-)

Posted by Henk Bakker at September 22, 2004 11:48 AM

Wow! I lover the colors!

There is something magical about the light hitting those benches, and you seem to achieve very great saturated looks in your photos of this style, I enjoy them a lot they bring me peace and awe.

thanks for the great shots

this somehow reminds me of people. . stacked and chained in society.

Posted by me at September 22, 2004 05:14 PM

The colours MAKE this photograph amazing!

Keep up the good work Sam.
