Critique Welcomed US Mail

[Chris Dodkin]

Spotted yesterday in Mission Hills San Diego

Fuji GFX50R and 45mm f/2.8
RNI AGFA 40 in post

On first look I was thinking: nice comp, colours, etc, but felt there was something missing.

On second look I'm thinking: Wait a minute, is that really a post box? Is it a bin? So there is some humour here. That is the missing something, or I'm completely outwith any cultural reference.

Sorry, Chris.

Sorry, Chris.

It really is a mail box - they have these old R2D2 looking things bolted to the sidewalk.

I just liked the comp and lighting - something ordinary in plain sight that made for an interesting pic

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Well, it certainly IS a nice comp.

 

[Beth Carter]

still a great shot chris. at this rate we'll have to start calling you midas, everything you touch turns to kodak gold.

@Rob MacKillop it's our version of a tardis. you have police boxes, we just go postal.

Fine composition, very effective. All lines lead to the mailbox.
