q + 06

i'm actually really proud of these. none of these are cropped, and have very basic tone edits and light sharpening. f/5.6 on 1&2, f/2.8 on 3.

in #1, the lines lead your eye toward the radio tower but what I think really hits here is the partial framing of the power lines. something about not showing the whole form on the objects that are in focus, up front, and largest does something.

#2 has missed focus? something is off about its sharpness but thats really my only complaint. the lines on all sorts of different levels of depth and angles and textures throw your eye all around the place, and settle on the intense form of the power transformer thing. the bird is at the center of it all but is secondary, it contrasts the transformer more than it exists as its own form.

#3 shows the softness of the 06 lens wide open: zoomed in the grass is not as defined as i'd like it to be but again, this is a minor complaint. the 3 distinct layers. grass, a simulacra of nature, swallowing pricey town homes which have swallowed the true nature (if you can call any nature here "true" at this point) around them, pooling up and rising into the void above.
