I love this. All the seemingly empty space in the near stuff, and then all this wonderful complexity and action and figures in the far space. No subject and background, but a picture that works all over.
Admittedly, this complexity revealed itself only on the screen, but not in the viewfinder, Carl. I guess that feeling and experience made me activate the shutter here.
Thanks, Colin! In hindsight I am more than glad that I had skipped lunch that day and instead taken a walk. And as I carry a small Lumix G3 now instead of the DSLR, photography has gotten a much “lighter” quality now. I know, you have taken this step much earlier already…
And you know yourself how hard this is to achieve, Earl. At least I can’t do it on purpose, it’s more that serendipity factor that is at work in photography sometimes. What we can do is to be out there, with open eyes and a camera. Sometimes everything falls into place.
Nice one. I like this kind of minimalism. Must be an electric car…
If they water it properly, it might grow to the size of the Daimler on the street

Minimalism indeed – and big impact!
and reward, Juha! Which of course is very motivating, especially when crowning a day of boring meetings. (I am sure you know this all too well…)
This is a great picture and I agree with Carl’s comments completely

And nobody said anything about the Mercedes ….
Martina, it goes without saying that this is the incentive for that poor little guy in the window!
I love it. I brought a smile to my face.
Paul, I am glad it did. Humor is one of the strong and positive powers in our world, and of course it makes me glad if I can contribute.
Markus, a complex photo in it’s simplicity…works on many levels. Very good!

…and those moments insure we keep going back out, don’t they!
