Smoke by olivetreeann

Smoke

Our photo club went out to Fieldstone Farm Tank Creek Nature Preserve on July 13th to take photographs for their website. I took lots of floral shots which I'll probably post over the next week or so. At the heart of the preserve is the remains of a rather massive home that once belonged to a local resort owner. There is not much left to it now and vandals have left their mark on the stonework but it won't be there for long. A company has volunteered to sand blast it off now that the property is patrolled on a regular basis. I did like the contrast of texture this wall offered against the trees and weeds growing around it.

This is by no means an endorsement to smoke! The title was just obvious.
I love your selective color! Very effective!

Good choice of SC - not too bad for graffiti!

Great use of the B+W and selected colo.

The textures show up especially well on black. I like your use of selected color and it’s a terrific composition

This is the kind of graffiti that I would really rather not see. I'm glad it is to be removed. Meanwhile your selective colour treatment is pretty cool.

Yes, the contrast does make for an interesting shot. Good to hear it's going though.

Nice street phito. I'm glad they are going to clean it up. The selective color really works well.

Thank you Allison, Maggie, Dawn, Ferry, Katy, Helen, Marilyn, Marnie, Kerri, Haskar, and Henri!

Had to laugh about all the "glad it's going" comments. This was the wall with the least amount of graffiti (although most photogenic!). You should have seen the wall to the left!
