Second, these first postings remind me very much of Geebee's (Grahams) first postings. You could see the talent, but at first was much unfocused. Really, this is high praise indeed. So, starting with: http://gallery.leica-users.org/album85/1_33_2_A You shot it as a vertical, but to me the image seems to be the horizontal juxtaposition of the shadows on the right with the refreshment stand on the left, possibly with shadows on the vendor in the stand. Possibly, the human activity of the customer with the vendor with the shadows. Next up: http://gallery.leica-users.org/album85/1_36_1_A You have found a very nice sculpture and shadow effect. What doesn't work is the huge amount of the rest of the world that intrudes. Think through the situation: can you move up and back and use a longer lens to isolate the scene? What would happen on the opposite end of the day with the shadows going the other way? If the terrain only allows this angle, then is there a period that you can combine the shadows and people or a dog or some of Graham's blow up geese? What about shoot directly up from underneath into a clear sky? Last: http://gallery.leica-users.org/album85/1_36_5_A This is an interesting assignment. The light and texture of the view will make you work to find the strongest image. Assuming the tracks are just under the cloth so that moving forward is not an option then what would happen if you squared off to the ceiling and the sign to make a more formal image? Another possibility would be to include the heads of passengers waiting for the train. In summary, you have found some wonderful visual treats, the clay is spinning on the wheel, you just have to turn the clay into what you want to make of it.
