[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 503365, member: 13090"] Your comment made me chuckle... You're not the first person to tell me I have a knack of sorts for making the ordinary look interesting. Matt Hardy once said, "Beauty can be seen in all things, seeing and composing the beauty is what separates the snapshot from the photograph" and I believe this to be true. By way of suggestion for getting a powerful image out of something as simple as a pile of pavers, I suggest you ask what drew you to wanting to shoot them in the first place? If I was shooting these, I'd get in close. Reeeeally close. Shoot the shape, the texture, the pattern. Hold the camera pressed to your face and move around... It's shocking how often the right composition will suddenly jump out at you as if by magic; like an "ah ha!" moment, when you do this. It's a wonderfully powerful technique. I'd then probably convert to black and white because the color, really, is only distracting from what's important (shape, texture and pattern). [COLOR="#FFFFFF"].....[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
