[QUOTE="Browncoat, post: 3498, member: 1061"] Thanks for the kind words, guys! :cool: RE: the vignette...I used it on this photo for the reason already specified by Mr. Bautsch. I thought it helped frame the composition and draw your eye towards the center. A lot of photogs think vignettes can be a bit cheesy, but I kinda like em! Then again, I also like the retro/vintage/lomography look too. RE: composition...For lack of a better term, I wanted the "big sky look" and ignored the Rule of Thirds. This pumphouse really is out in the middle of nowhere, there isn't even a house on the property anymore. I wanted to convey how lonesome and abandoned it was by showing as much openness as possible. That's also why I included the bare power pole, good eye, Yibel! I see what you're saying though, Mr. Bautsch. Maybe I'll head back out there and try for a down low shot to include more grass.
