Critique Welcomed Clotheslines At Pike Place, Seattle, Usa

[Nathan Wright]

This photo was taken with the X-Pro 1 and the 12mm Voigt V2 and is from a recent review of the combo which I wrote prior to 2013 fading with the gorillas and green space into what is sure to be a chaotic new year. I would appreciate some thoughts on this image.

I like it a lot Nathan - could be from Europe with all of that laundry on display

I like the contrast of the black and white buildings, and the structured chaos of the washing lines over the street

Is the vignette all lens - or some PP?

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Love it. Haven't seen an active washing line for a couple of decades, but they used to be everywhere. Great energy and rhythm there, beautifully captured.

 

[Peter McCullough]

That's a winner shot....! Love the contrast/tones and angle on this capture. Great the way the wind has twisted the clothes into different shapes.

Would look well enlarged and hung on a wall. Great photography Nathan.

 

[Andrew Cotterill]

fantastic amount of detail on that, lovely mix of light and shade. I love it! Sort of thing I can spend ages just looking at (if only it would all fit on my screen at once, going to have to turn my monitor on its side maybe).

Someone's washing is all tangled up, the ironing will take ages.

 

[Pete Askew]

Wonderful shot Nathan. Those shirts almost look to be flying over the street and I like the flow through the composition. And much better edge sharpness on the 12mm with an APS sensor than you see with full frame.

 

[Beth Anthony]

wonderful. i haven't seen anything like this in the us. looks like a photo out of nyc in the 50s. then again, it could be the result of one of those green movements in seattle.

 

[Paul Lange]

Really top. Looks almost like an art installation, I don't think the shirts could have been placed better for the composition.
