About I said I might put up the portrait mode shot of this scene (taken at the same time). Well, here it is. I think it answers those who found the horizontal one a bit too "busy." Those strong verticals help, I think.

Well,yes....although I loved also the other,I must admit that the vertical framing allows more concentration and focus on the subject. Both great,Roger! Antonella


Hugo Pierre   {K:15692} 2/9/2004
Excellent! I must say I like both pictures but like Antonella says, I believe this one is a little more attractive.
Regards, Hugo.

This absolutely unique subject looks good with a vertical approach too
but IMO the horizontal one is more impressing in it's journalistic character-

this a beauty rog. I very much like the colors, all the verticals and that little door inviting us into the picture...roger

Excellent shot, Roger.
Good saturation, composition, and a lot of interest to boot!
Kind regards,
Chris

Yes, this both simplifies and strengthens the photograph.

Wow, you have been busy whilst I've been away, so many uploads. It will take me some time to work my way through these.

Of the two shote I like this one the most, its simple and clear. The main focus is the sign, but the door just beckons the eye to walk on in. Very well composed.

I'll have to look through the others later, too much work to do at the moment.

Hai Roger
Though I cant understand a word in Japanese, I liked your shot. It shows a lot about a Japanese street. I like such live-from-life shots. Congrats. (BTW, my brother is now in Japan for a few weeks, he might be seing such signs.)


Roger Williams   {K:84419} 3/7/2005
Vinay, this is really fairly untypical of modern Japan. The guy who owns the house is a real eccentric who festoons it with signs he has made. They are very funny (if you read Japanese!). I hope your brother has fun in Japan. It's getting a little warmer these days, and spring is just around the corner. A beautiful time of year. If he also is a photographer he will enjoy himself.
