Pallets Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

One last shot from the factory in Serres. I liked the repetative patterns produced by this pile of pallets, but I really should credit the idea for this shot to Val (hope you catch it Val), who's feet appear here, for pointing out the subject in the first place.

Tech adjusted levels to give a lith effect and added noise.

hi richard, this something exceptional, never seen before from you - lots of abstraction, dynamic frame;
different world, but i do like it,
have a nice day, jerzy

Hi Richard, niiiice patterns here, and a great tilt, the triangle in the top breaks the patterns, and is a must, I think.
Good use of noise

Hi Richard! I like the angle of the shot.
Good choise of b&w. The little piece of the sky adds to understand the photo.
The noise is a good choise too.
Great point of view!

I'd back off somewhat on the added noise-- it's too pronounced relative to the size of the image presented so doesn't quite come across as authentic.

Great inclusion of the sky to bring the subject down to size and give it some form too.

very interesting indeed, great explanation and also the angle is nice too, really well done

A very well-seen pattern shot, Richard, well presented with the diagonal framing and the post-treatment with the added noise. I think the triangle of sky at the top is a vital inclusion to avoid a too flat appearance. Nice one.

Excellent tech work, Richard. The tilt, the grains, the b/w and the contrast provide a wonderful composition and a very nice pattern. I like this piece of triangle sky. Very well done.

Hi Richard

I like the graphism & the grain. Excellent tonal range in this unusual b&w, with good sharpness. Well done!

Creative POV and kind of seeing,I enjoy it,Richard,more with diagonal movement in frame,and cut of repetition in corner top.
very well effected with noisy filter and great also in B&W,a nice artwork,Richard!
