Thank you Rachel. It was a bit of serendipity as I did not see the 'Dracula' sign until after I took the shot. I was focused on the papers which swirled in the wind around the kiosk and gave a sense of foreboding to the shadowed corner. Mister Ken

Egad, Christine, you are so right! It's a good thing I didn't get any closer or I might not have able to post this image. Thanks for stopping by. Mister Ken

If you go back to look at the thumbnail, what is extraordinary is that the crumpled newspaper totally resembles a man in a gray suit, arms and legs in front, head against the green tile. Dracula has indeed been here.

Amazing image! The thumbnail does no justice at all to this one. Wonderful earthy tones. Great contrast and dof.

Good work .. bit more cropping from the left dark part... and the doorframe shadow is too dark .. focussing on doors has to reveal all
detail, shadow or light ..
This is "Door 5".. where is your door 1-4 .. can't find them in your portfolio (interested in door/window pictures, i was on holidays in Crete lately, and saw this kind of scenes daily, so got interested) .. regards, Peter

Thank you for the comments, Michele. I like your cropping, though I had originally cropped this for a square format printing. You are, of course, correct regarding gardening. I shot this through a fence on top of a retaining wall and was limited in the perspectives available. There were others, but they gave no emphasis to the cabbage which intrigued me because of the way the light played on the edges and textures. That darn building in the background, though, just kept getting in the way - perhaps a PS blur might help make it less distracting, though I do like a hint as it provides a context (gardens in Mission District San Francisco?). Meanwhile, the attached is a bumblebee on a Penstemon from my garden and more tightly cropped than the cabbage. Thanks again, Mister Ken

Hello Ken, nice cabbage you got here. I noticed that you haven't received any comments on this shot, so I hope you don't mind if I give you my take on your photo.
I have learned through many people telling me over and over again, plan your shot. Check the background, do some gardening if the shot is outside. Look at it from all angles.
Well, what I see in your shot is to many distractions. I think a different angle might have helped, but then I'm not there to know for sure.
I captured your shot and in PS gave it a real tight crop, then I used my burn tool and selectively burned some of the background that was left. I also used color balance to bring up the blue in the cabbage.
Great attempt, and hopefully, like me, you will learn something from every shot you take. Keep clicking.

Thank you Kshitz. I tried leaving comments on two of your paintings with light abstractions, but could not upload to your Usefilm page. If the poetry project is yours, you may use the Bay Roots image. Regards, Mister Ken

Thank you Kshitz for your comment. I had not noticed the old man in the tree, but when I visit this area below my home I sometimes get a feeling that I'm not alone. Now I know why! What is the Poetry in Pictures project? If it is your project and you'd like to use my photograph, you may. Regards, Mister Ken

Hi Ken..
A nice picture.
I dont know if you noticed this, but i kinda like looking at optical illusions. At the very first instance that I saw the picture a saw an optical illusion of a thirsty person wanting to drink water. Metaphorically speaking the patches on his face show the pain he is in ( due to his thirst).. also his hair is all messed up ... Look at the attached picture if you can still not figure out why....I am a designer so i look at such things. Lemme know if you agree!
This could well go into the Poetry in pictures project!
Nice picture though!
