Nice vibrant red -- seems you need more dof to have the bottom of the meter in focus as well.

good subject

I like this composition a lot but the colors seem a little dim -- not as vibrant as they could be and even a little blue. I'd love to see that meter as teh bright candy apple red color it appears to be.

City life in a nutshell. Flawless execution.

Yep, seen plenty of these in the city.

Well executed shot. Joke time: No car, no pay - Be a pal, put up a nickle for the poor slob. Seriously, your shot is perfectly framed and focused. It's a bit dull. Suggestions for the dullness - see your reflection in the glass? try it in a location where YOU show up better in that reflection, or shoot with a car in the spot and ask a friend to hold up a ticket sized paper, out of focal range, towards the car (suggesting the receipt of a ticket, ha,ha) or with the paper visible on the windshield.
Get the idea? Have fun, make it fun for the viewer, too! Photo 9 City 7 Total 8

i like the photo, and the message

Becasue of the white lines in the background, and teh sidwalk on the lower left, I think a different angle would have served this picture better. The use of the color red is very effective, though at making the shot stand out.

Wow! It looks like fire candy!

God, I hate those things. I"m confused about the pricing though..does that actually say: 30 mins for one dime (for your convenience) and then it says 30 mins for one quarter? Wish the city I lived in was so nice. Our meters don't even ACCEPT dimes or nickels. Good shot. Great use of aperature.

bold color... great dof
06/25/2002 12:28:00 PM
very nice. just a tad off center which detracts a bit from the overall feeling. but a great interpretation of the challenge and a well done shot. love the red contrast with the dull background. nicely done.
06/25/2002 10:02:00 AM
Simple. Great Focus. Perfect color saturation.
06/25/2002 09:42:00 AM
I like this. Would a polarized lens take care of the reflection/glare off the glass? Would be great if there was a car in the spot...an old beater or a jag, can't decide. Could be a little brighter. 7

Original idea. I like it!

Cleanest parking meter I've seen for quite some time. A bit dark, but nice and clear.
06/24/2002 06:03:00 PM
Clever - great expression here. I'm sure there are a lot of people that can relate to this. Terrific!!
06/24/2002 01:02:00 PM
Awesome work, great job. Love it all. Kee

If there was a parking meter within 100 miles of me, I would have tried to photograph it for this challenge also :) I would have also looked for some really cool angle other than straight on. I may have laid on my back on the ground and photographed someone putting money in it... :) good shot! = 7 -jmsetzler

Good color. Not sure if you have any more control over depth of field, but if so maybe try blurring the back ground a little more. If not.. ignore that. I still think it's a good shot either way.

nice color. I would have made the back mor blurry...
