 Someone appeared to be walking to work. I thought the reds were interesting. I also think this image is incredibly busy, so I cropped a different version as well. I'll post it, too. I should have saturated this...you think?

Also our entire town is crooked, as in crooked posts, trees, roads. The snow makes things lean, plus mountainous conditions means uneven and slanting roads. I tried to rotate this using the buildings as a guide line. It still appears crooked. I live in a crooked town!! hehe

you're right...i think this does need more saturation. i don't get the crooked feel from this, but it sounds like a fun challenge you should give yourself.

You live in a crooked town and it has the cutest name Twisp!

I think the reds are perfect as is. Nice placement in the frame to have the frontmost wires intersecting at "thirds" point, more or less.

Wonderful colors! The repeating red is fantastic, it doesn't seem under saturated to me. While I could see a slightly tighter crop would be fine, I don't think it's necessary. I like this better than the other version because I really love the repetition and diagonal line formed by the phone poles and wires, and that little splash of red in the lower left corner of the image is pretty cool!

I find it impossible to get the horizon to look right in many of my shots. I've kinda given up worrying about it. I think this works very well with things leaning this way and that. Adds a lot of character, which your town clearly has. Love the red theme.

Wow, it looks so wet and autmny - so unlike here (in Phoenix). Wonderful slice of life shot with the repeating colors. You did a great job seeing this.

The reds are great -- don't monkey with anything. Crooked? It looks fine to me. Not everything in this world is perfectly vertical or horizontal.

The reds attracted my eye at once - I really like it. The repetition and different shades are wonderful, crooked or not.

This shot turned out very well. As others said the red are good. I also like the framing on the left by the tree and on the right by the sign. The person walking up the hill gets a good setting at the bottom of the hill with you at a lower level then the road past the stop sign. That gives a much better feel of the uphill walk.

You put a lot of factors together to make one good image.

It's straight enough. While using things as guides sometimes works, using your eye works, too. The reds are really nice in this - starting from the left with the little bit of the bush, then her jacket, the red bushes on the right, and the stop sign. It is busy and probably wouldn't fare well in a challenge because of that, but it's a very good slice of life shot. And I kinda like busy - there are things to see as you visit with the picture.

I'll say the reds are interesting! Those are aMAZING autumn colors! When you asked if you should saturate it, I was in awe that you hadn't already saturated it! WOW! And how I love the quaint umbrella'd pedestrian.

I want to live there! I love mountains, and the resulting crooked everythings. I find that with my photos in the Rockies too. Crooked is gorgeous!
