Critique Welcomed Cambridge

[Paul Lange]

OK, you got me. It's more walls and this time more walls in Cambridge. I have been to Cambridge many times but a few weeks ago was the first time I bothered to have a look inside some of the collages. Some of them are free to enter and you can wonder around the gardens freely. Some places and very peaceful and are a nice contrast to the manic shopping areas, especially this time of year. I have tried to keeps the number of bikes featuring in the photos to a minimum, the bloody things are everywhere!

The saga continues. Like them all...but the 3rd really caught my eye.

 

[Dan Cattermole]

Paul,

You are a master at this game aren't you??

Very well captured, again..

 

[Dave Green]

Beltin stuff - I miss Cambridge!

 

[Paul Lange]

Hey, thanks guys. Glad you enjoy looking at even more walls.

 

[Pete Askew]

Nice set again Paul. I like the diagonal in the first comprised on the 'angel' and the partially excluded group. And the bent post and its relationship with the shadow above. Love the lighting on the bikes and those interesting racks. Square pole and down pipe; nice. And the red touches at the top of the last one echoing the colours of the last leaves of the Virginia Creeper. Lovely details and touches.

 

[Paul Lange]

Cheers Pete and I know that I can rely on you to advise on the name of plants. I thought it was an ivy.

 

[Brian Moore]

Lovely, Paul. "Fellows Bicycles Only" is a very appealing shot.

 

[Paul Lange]

Cheers Brian, I wrestled with that one for a while as I was in two minds if the image was a bit corny. Whether it is or not I still don't know but at least it seems well received.

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Agree with the comments above, especially liking #3 as it really tells a Cambridge story

 

[Keith Hollister]

They're all very good, but I love the visual pun of the 3rd one - "Fellow's Bicycles Only" with 2 girl's bikes parked there

 

[Paul Lange]

Well spotted, Keith. I didn't notice that but yes, it is easy to assume fellows are men.

I know what the sign is intended to mean, but I think it is a perfect coincidence that makes a great pun.

You shouldn't have admitted you didn't see the double meaning A comment along the lines of "I was wondering when someone would notice that" would have been entirely appropriate

Err, yes. I was just testing and I was wondering when someone would notice that.
