Some More Benches

Another path lined with more benches for those seeking a sit down to escape the noise and chaos of the city outside the gates. Figure I'd try a vertical composure. I did think about walking down to the other end to take a photo of this end to show you what was at this end of the path. But, then realized there was a good chance I'd just end up with a photo of myself shooting the other end. Couldn't have that could we.

Enjoy and your comments welcomed.

You would then been forced to clone yourself out Wendell. I like it in the vertical. It even makes the walk look longer. No wonder you didn't go. I like tree lined roads, paths or anything else the line.

The vertical works for me, Wendell. I think the translation from Canadian to English would be composition, not composure. I know nothing about composition and have no composure; so the last two sentences are more irrelevant than usual.

The vertical portrait mode works well. Didn't I already say that I like the vertical. I thought I said that I like the vertical but wasn't sure.

I like the perspective on your image. It looks like an arduous journey to the far side. No wonder there are so many benches. I'm happy to see the blue skies that you kept alleging were available throughout the day at the park.

There's a little more negative space in the barren gravel foreground than I would have chosen, but that just a comment with no basis in either knowledge of composition or composure.

There seems to be a tag on that large tree on the right foreground. I believe it says "Paul is the Walrus". Other than that I don't see any prominent notes from the devil or the undead in general. A fine shot that might get into the 50's.

I much prefer this vertical composition. It cuts out some of the distractions and allows the eye to be totally let into the distance. I also like how lush and leafy those trees look but agree with the above that there seems to be an awful lot of walkway in the foreground. Still looking pretty good though!

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

Wndell - Anything is possible with PhotoShop! lol All the writing about vertical - well, it's true. Thad

I like the verticality - it adds greatly to the perspective. Although I hate to agree with Roger/Dots I too would have taken a little gravel off the foreground.

I like this angle one would say a steep back or two, and again nice light in this shot.Love how the sunlight is shining through the leafs on the trees.I see the man is still there but looking a bit more relaxed now.

They really had benches all the way along didn't they? One of us could have been sitting at one end and taken a shot of you while you took one of us. That might have been interesting!!! Good shot anyway you look at it.
