I love the textured, graphic quality of this photo. The limited palette produced by the processing puts the final touch to the vintage effect.

This is such a cool shot! I love the color and the contrast. It's perfect! :) :)

Thanks for the kind appreciation, Moses.

This is the first comment on a photo of mine for quite a long time. :-)

Taken with a Nokia 6288 mobile phone 2-MP camera.

Interesting colour and pattern emphasized by the narrow DoF.

Hi There...

I'm currently runnign a photgraphy exhibition on the theme of "Mass" & I find this photo of yours just perfect for that. The exhibition is set to present nearly 60 photos by pro, amature & photographers all over Iran. It is sponsored by Hitachi, so it wouldn't cost you at all, it will be run by www.moosville.com & www.parkingallery.com

Just let me know if you're interested to particiapte.
Thanks :)

Cool, sounds like something I might be interested in. Not entirely sure how to contact you though. If you read this maybe email me: detour at detour dot com.

great mate, I'll e-mail you.

Bathed in delicious warm colours, the play on shapes is enhanced by the sense of depth created by the shallow DoF.

Thanks so much Teng.

A subtle evocation of a bygone urban era.

Very comforting image to me. Like it!

Love the sky and main building. Would love to see a bit of the lower left corner cloned out, or cropped out.

Fun picture! Nice and sharp!

Nice freeze! I can't tell from your EXIF, but you maybe could have gotten around not liking the background by trying to have a shorter depth of field? Having the background a little more out of focus would place more emphasis on the car.
Great shot as it is though.

Nice and funny scene!

great shot

Neat shot, nice clearity and colour. I find the wires on the groud a little distracting.

Great question Teng. I could take a slightly different angle but a significantly different angle would have shown a fence and not very pretty things;) I agree more could have been done to this photo though.

it comes down to personal preference; things that would make it more interesting for me: Off center somehow (such as a different angle like suggested) and if the flower was a little darker, it'd be great to see a little more of the details. Just seems a tad too bright. Vibrant and great for the topic tho!

Very vivid! I love the way the flower stands out. Keep up the great work! I agree about the angle.

.moses.

Congrats on the feature Jason :)

Interesting shot. The flower almost seems to be floating in midair.

Awesome-i love shots like this! I like the POV you chose!

I bet the guy with the black pieces won.

@Paul
Thanks Paul. I spent quite a few minutes moving around. The wideangle zoom was quite handy.

@Brandon
You seem to know your chess, Brandon. When I left, black was the exchange up (white's rook for his knight)and should win in that open position. I might even try my luck next time - organiser (white) says he plays in the daytime as well in the same place. :)

This is very interesting shot. Coolio!

Beautiful B&W.

Very interesting.
I like the pattern on the left middle pain.
Adds a lot more interest to this well executed simple shot.

Thanks, Mike. Came across this rather rundown backlane shop/warehouse in my local shopping centre and was trying to portray its old-world and rather improvisatory environs.
