Hi Olaf, thanks for your opinions, this picture was taken from my car as it was raining hard. i felt the white bin was bleached which is why in this shot i tried to intimate it was there by showing the first 100mm, must have agreed 3 is best. I am just happy someone looked at the picture as this is my third attempt in the challenges (8, 9 and10). thought of an alternative title for your picture "Boy from the flat land"

Since I was the one to suggest a different crop on the first version of this, I feel I should let you know my opinion on this one: I like the tighter crop better, but I would have preferred all three bins in the shot. Why? Well, there is something magical, visually, about the low odd numbers 1, 3, 5 and perhaps even 7. Two is a couple or a dialogue. Two is not enough to create a rhythm. Three is the lowest amount of elements, where you could talk about one being the exception. I feel that this is the kind of photo, where one of the elements should be an exception. I notice that you used a different lettering in the words "Nikon Glass" in this one - more like the Nikon logo typeface. Can't explain why, but liked it better the other way, the lettering being the same as the rest of the text. One last thought: I think that the exception (the Nikon glass bin) should be the last one - and as most of us here read from left to right, that would be the brown bin. --Olaf
