Re: PESO PAW - Abandoned But Not Forgotten

Hi!
I don't understand what you mean by my shot being "very thorough."
One where all the details, even the smallest one are taken into account 
and worked upon.

Overall I like your photo, but it has some elements in it that lessen its
impact.  The most glaring, as i see it, is the tilted horizon.  It looks
about 1 - 1.5 degrees skewed to the right.  This tilt, amongst other
problems it causes, works against the tilt of the boat.  By that I mean
since both the boat and the horizon are tilted in the same direction, the
skewed position of the boat is given less importance and strength than it
could have had.
I like the old shoe in the pic.  Nice touch.  And while I understand what
you are doing by including the two people sitting on the wall, I'm not sure
they add much, if anything, to the photo, other than being a distraction.  
This shot is full frame. If I were to rotate it I would loose a shoe :(. 
I know it is not an excuse but it is at least some reason why.

Now, Boris, tell me honestly, how many shots did you make of this scene? 
From how many different positions did you shoot it?  I mainly asked because
of the conversations we've been having off list.
Three positions, six shots all together. I will probably post one more 
if I successfully process it.
