Red

Posted by willow (Chelsea, United States) on 27 March 2009 in Abstract & Conceptual.

I did not set this scene up. This is just how I found it and it caught my eye so I had to shoot it. I was a little heavy-handed with the contrast, but that's the only processing I did and I kind of liked the result so I left it. Thoughts?

Thank you for visiting and commenting and sharing your photos! I love this site and all the people that make it so great. Photography is my passion and this is the perfect place for sharing that passion with other people who feel the same way.

Very effective and it makes me wonder how much of this is around us when we are not even thinking 'photography' !

You have a wonderful eye Willow!! I think you've done this just right! Reminds me of my husbands story when he was in Guatemala. There was one evening the orphanage was having a birthday party and they ordered Domino's pizza and my husband found it quite amusing that they delivered 20 pizzas on the back of a motorcycle. I should look for that image.

good eye for an appealing capture. If you have Lightroom, I'd suggest trying to amp up the Clarity slider but otherwise I really think you've done a great job with this!

This is such a blast from the past for me, Willow. Having ridden motorcycles now for thirty years, the little DT Yamaha series (the DT125LC II), was my very first motorbike way back in time. So good was this series of trail bikes, That I ended up owning three different bikes through the years before moving up to the bigger and faster sisters. Happy memories.

You've captured this image superbly well, the colouration and detail, the textural variances and composition. Great work
