The shining water attracted me as being a bonus as I positioned myself. The diagonal of the ramp, and the canoes waiting, half in shot, on the bank were important elements in my eye. I took about 12 or 15 shots, standing perfectly still, click, click, click, and chose this one because the canoes were all held at the same angle horizontally and the figures go from the top of the ramp right down into the water. The river leads away in a broad sweep thus keeping the canoeists and the watcher in touch which what is happening....the launch and the sail away.Chuckeroonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06933397626094422959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8674906358747778592.post-51916286948191338852007-10-22T11:35:00.000+01:002007-10-22T11:35:00.000+01:00@peter - but it was nice! - with an exclamation ma...@peter - but it was nice! - with an exclamation mark! Here is what I really should have wrote.<BR/>The main subject of this photo is dramatically clear - it is the figures and the activity they are engaged in. The light enables the scene, permitting the silhouette which shows us the positions and movements of the group very clearly, but i snot the main subject. The composition frames the focus of the image perfectly, and prevents the eye moving away. Another compositional device is the lines leading in from the left which also anchor the action. The use of black and white is almost essential for this shot. If we introduce colour of anything other than a monochromatic nature we are in danger of confusing the real point of the photograph, and thus diluting it's effectAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8674906358747778592.post-57780307707883120422007-10-22T07:58:00.000+01:002007-10-22T07:58:00.000+01:00When I saw this one, I thought Richard would vome ...When I saw this one, I thought Richard would vome with some real compliments, but he just states "nice!"!
