Interesting shapes + beautiful colors + great DOF = excellent shot.

This is great. Your DOF works very well for me here and the sparkling of the locks makes for an interesting image. The colors also add to the whole feeling generated here. Very well done!

As has been mentioned before, your choice of DOF is excellent. The clean, crisp focus on the lock 1/3 from the right side is a great choice.

Not much I can add to the previous comments. Nice bright colors and the locks really make the picture.

interesting framing and clever idea maintaining the depth of field by using small irish.

What a great shot. The colour mix is what makes this photo for me. I would have used Canon's 24mm PC lens (if you have one) so that I could control the focus a bit better. Also I would have digitally removed the marks on the blue locker and possibly the numbers on the red locker next to it. Otherwise this would make a great art print for a wall in a modern setting. Well done

Excelent use of DOF! The vivid colors and locker details are very nice.

Great composition & cut. I like a lot the colours, the contrast and the focus on only one locker. Original idea and very good work.
Ciao,

Hello Coleman,

This picture is nice. I like very much the colours. But also the composition, the POV and your selection of making blurred background and only a VERY sharp "first" plane. This is the other point it would like to re-mark: it is great the sharpness of that second block (and the reflection on the doors!).

Coleman, congratulations.

nice colourful staff from you.

Great shot Coleman, I see from your gallery that your eye is very attune to attractive patterns which will make good photos.
A sharp, colourful image with a super composition and DOF.
The repetition of the colours on the lockers is a really nice feature which again adds an element of satisfaction that great patterned photos do.
Very well done.
See what you think of my 'Magnets' shot, similar in genre.
Have a great day.
