Critique Welcomed Another shot from Mississippi...

[John Allen]

It doesn't really matter where a shot like this was taken. I just like seeing Mississippi spelled out.

This was one letter on a sign for an abandoned motel. I shot the whole sign and then zoomed in on each individual letter. I like the colors in this one and the shape of the letter.

Another one shot with the Olympus ultra-zoom

The O-Zone is degrading fast. Fine shot.

Thanks, Rob.

Nice John like the texture of this be good to see the whole sign too. I love a bit of decay

Unfortunately, the shot of the whole sign didn't turn out very well. It was the wrong time of day and there was a high, bright sky behind it that really didn't come out well. I've played with it a bit as a b&w, but haven't really got an image I feel good about.

I couldn't save the shot of the whole sign, but I did get these.

Whenever I see the word Mississippi, I think of old negro spirituals and vision of an old man by the riverbank with his straw hat and an old fishing rod in his hand as he sits there waiting for them to bite. Now you have destroyed all that

I love these sorts of details and this is a very fin example. I love the colour combination and the 'smeariness' of it. Nice.

Thanks, Pete.
