On the Fence (*)

Traralgon Australia

No tricks or layers here, I simply sat on the middle of the road and took the photo through the fence. Loy Yang power station.

Canon PowerShot A70
1/500s f/7.1 at 5.4mm with Flash full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

I agree with the previous comments. The point of view is a little disorienting. Colour and texture are good. I like the idea.

Everytime I look at this picture the lack of a visible horizon bothers me. I want to lift the camera up just enough to get just a hint of the land the power plant is sitting on. I love the contrast of the small high tech plant and the large natural fence.

Thanks for your comments, Steve. There's a certain irony in making the power plant this small. Those of us who live in the shadow of these ugly giants wish they really WERE this tiny! LOL! For a closer look, pop into the exhibition gallery.

I like several of the elements in this photo (the grain of the wood and the power plant, especially), but IMHO the small subject gets lost in the big frame. I can see where that may have been your intent, but I find myself wanting to see more of the power plant. YMMV, but I wonder how a tighter crop would work, maybe even with some rotation (would that be too far out?)...
