 I took this for Gursky, but the beautiful shadows didn't suit him... but they suit me. calculations to b/w

yes, it's tilted and I did nothing about it. tilted ain't broke, and if it ain't broke...

*Hello from Sid and the Critique Club*

An uninspiring image that has made a contribution to the open challenge.

In the words of Ubique I am obviously a lesser photographer because it fails to 'attract and inspire me' and I fail to see any connection with Gursky. The chicken wire adds a certain something I'll admit and it actually detracts from or sort of obscures the tilt, but since you felt compelled to comment on it its such a tilt that is to a certain degree broke. It's not immediately obvious but once evident then its so slight that it detracts, for me tilts rarely work where they are not an obvious intention that adds another element to the image, this does not.

It's inevitable that not all one's images are going to appeal to everybody and I have seen and had the pleasure of commenting on several appealing images from you but I'm sorry this one just does not do it for me, but its only my 'lesser' side revealing itself. I'm pleased for you that at least your fan club appreciate it.

Thanks for your submission and apologies for the delayed critique, as they say, 'better late than never', or at least I hope it is, Sid

Don, this is brilliant stuff! Pure seeing and genuine photography. Love the subtle tilt, noise, slightly off center composition, and hints of detail in the dark negative space. Thanks for retaining the look and feel of an actual photograph.

Didn't vote, didn't comment, stupid me. You made the mundane into a satisfying unfinished tale, brilliant light, excellent photo.

My Gursky didn't quite Gursky either, but I too got a few good shots from thinking in that direction. This got a ten from me.

I wanted to say something about the chicken wire, but it spoke first.

Beautiful use of the chickenwire, and I like the placement of the shadow on the garage.

Improbably beautiful. Perfectly judged tones; perfectly judged everything, really. You have made a virtue of everything that would have failed to attract and stimulate a lesser photographer. The result is a singular and thrilling picture. Thank you. 10. And the Order of the Thumb slipped under the wire.

....and these must be the doors to go beyond it.
Looking at you, looking at it
I love the feeling that the approaching shadow is creating. Could be that you took this shot from your car and now it haunts you that you did not stop.
Beautiful
Bump
