Iam not sure. You wrote, that you want to isolate beauty in this enviroment.
Thats a poetic way of taking photos. BUT, in my opionion, you have to
transfer your intention in this photo, and I cant find this beauty, cause
it seems to me very striking ...
Furthermore, if the stairs would hit the pipe exactly, than the
composition would be better.

Hello Martin, thanks for your thoughtful comments. I was not convinced either that I had actually found beauty in this photo - I feel ambivalent about it (aha - I should submit it as a Help! Project photo). I agree with your idea about lining up the steps and red pipe - but this was about the best angle I could get because of a high fence around the dyke for these tanks. - Best regards, SteveR

It's not bad attempt at all . . . A few thoughts: perhaps try going back on a sunny day. Sunshine would eliminate the cool cast to the photo, make the colours more vivid and a clear blue sky would give a third dynamic colour to the shot. Otherwise, I'd like to see the elimination of the white completely and a focus on the structures instead. I love the red pipe. Is there a way of framing the shot so there's more pipe and tank and less rock? I feel the rocks detract a bit from both the strong colours and lines of the other two elements. To me it's not a question of beauty ('cause you've found it); it's about maximizing impact. :)

Hi Becky,
Thank you for taking the time to submit your thoughtful comment. Now that you mention it, I could go back there with a stepladder to shoot from a higher angle and eliminate some or all of the rock. Maybe I'll even try a 6' stepladder to get way up there. If all else, fails, I can try to borrow a longer lens to isolate the tank and red pipe. Thanks again!
