Thank god that symetry is not perfect!!! You did great to move the pillar to the right, breaking the ordinarity pattern. Maybe that wire [?] is a bit distracting, at least to me. But its a minor irrelevant detail.

When I look at the pillar bottom I feel as it goes straight out of my eyes ...

Great b/w Maria.

ComplimentS!

Your POV and composition are perfect. The alternance of dark and light on the beams creates a lovely effect. Good idea to go B&W. Great job!

Hi Marija!
looking at the photo gives me a slight vertigo. The offset composition is fine here, though I feel if you could adjust the exposure of the bar to the right, it would gel better with the photo..
The choice of POV is very creatively done.

beautiful! wow. that is great. The sharpness and contrast are really eye catching. Very good composition too! Simple and yet very pleasing to look at. Excellent job! (I am not just saying that to be nice. ;)) JP

Another very good one from the fair and I very much like it, Marija! I am actually surprised that it works so well in B&W as you would have thought that the colour version would bring more of a festive mode but I think the B&W makes more of a graphical picture. Very creative way to present this ride. Well done!

This is mind-boggling! 8P ...Nice perspective..really well seen Marija!

About your query, well...if the symmetry was perfect, it would have been pretty common (read: boring :P)...So, I like it as it is.

Perhaps, you could try getting your camera aligned onto the pole and shoot up. The leading line would have more impact as it takes the viewer from ground zero to the top. Just a suggestion..

Also, just thought of it...how abt a spiral PP? ..to create some motion in this shot? :)

Wow! From the thumb it looked like a bullet train going through a tunnel at the speed of light. Excellent POV. Very well seen, composed and captured. B & W does the job.

Hi Marija,
You have been making beautiful photo's for TL, great job with your work!
This one is no acception. Purely graphical is a really great description/title for this very sharp in contrast imagery. Seriously, that's some intense contrast along with the great pov and the lines and stripes. Very nicely seen and good work on the b/w processing.
I agree with Ashish on the exposure on the bar to the right, if you can burn that in some this piece would then be exceptionally excellent as an absract. Composition is really fine here for the interest is in the tightness of where the lines are meeting for further out things start to diminish. Great work Marija!

Excellent composition and game with black and white! Those stripes reminds me of some giant mutant bee or something :)
Composition lines are used in a great way, maybe some parts are OE, but all in all, this is wonderfull succesfull experiment.
Great job, TFS!

Robert

I was glad to read that the merry-go-round wasn't operating. You might have been swept right along with it, trying to get this great shot!

Groovy!

Hey Marija, sorry to neglect your gallery these days, but been busy at work :(
Checking your 2 latest posts.....Great!!! Good choice of B&W...it's like in an old movie... I'm glad it's not symmetric this time.. it's more interesting like this and gives dynamism to it!!!
cheers

superb point of view...leading lines all headed to a focal point....seal it with black n white contrast... the stripes on the metal bars add variety as well

great!
