American Gothic ~ April 1 [18]

South Dakota

I realize this isn't even remotely reminiscent of Grant Wood's masterpiece of the same name, but that's the name that popped into my head when I saw this shot and so that's its name... ;)

11051912 is right: It does somewhat stylistically resemble some of Edward Hopper's works, perhaps most notably "Nighthawks."

Well seen and taken. I love the composition that leaves lot of empty space and this wonderful light. Great shot Greg

It does have wonderful color, lighting and the solitude of GW!
Gary Winters04-Apr-2007 03:32
It's perfect. I might crop out the bench on the left hand side, but that might throw off the angles so maybe not. It's a wonderful image just perfectly lit!
