Hi Paul,
Some of my ( usually meaningless ) thoughts on this image and your Crosses series. With a small reference to your previous 'Statues around London' posts.
I liked the London Statues posts immensely. Maybe because I know some of them. More so as they were the center of my focus.
Now to the Crosses. The one in Nova Scotia, sets the scene well. I like the bw rendition. The space gives it its due prominence.
The Charing Cross image, unfortunately, loses me. I have to be looking for it very hard. I want to experience what you experienced in Nova Scotia. Easier said than done, I know!!
I ( ymmv and should ) prefer close-ups, usually. Prefer to leave the viewer in doubt about what it is
I want him/her to see initially. And then wander around the frame. But always returning to the focus.
This image ( Boy David ) has a super lead-in to the Statue. Brilliant juxtaposition of the two walls. But seems, to me, to be overwhelmed by its surrounds. Not that the eye does not come to rest on it.
Mr. Capa's advice is noteworthy in this regard. But needs to be exercised with extreme caution!!
Thank you for sharing your very well executed projects with us.
Regards.
