Blue arrow

We had a wonderful, sunny day today and Lester thought it would be good to go to Southend. So we did. That was where this was taken.

I'll 'fess up and say that I didn't spot this arrow shape until I looked at the shot on the computer, so I've had to slew it a bit and crop it to get it and it's still not symmetrical . I thought it was quite fun though.

We're sure to go back to Southend again sometime and I'll see if I can get the angle needed to make the arrow properly. It'll probably make my neck ache, though!
You are coming up with such interesting pictures lately! Love the clean lines and colors.

Actually I think this is really great. The only thing I would have done differently is to have the crop organised so that the right hand edge came to a corner like you did with the top corner. That is just how my eye works. But it is a personal preference. There is an awesome perspective on this. Nice work.

@netkonnexion Thank you. Yes, I agree completely about the right hand side; it irks me greatly that it's not symmetrical. But when I tried it , it pushed the head of the arrow out of kilter. I faffed around for ages trying different slants and crops and this is the closest to symmetrical I could get.

@netkonnexion I really think it's down to the angle at which I took the shot. Pity I didn't see the arrow at the time.

Great image. Superb lines and pov.

@dulciknit - possibly. Did you try lying on the ground and zooming out wider? That would have given you a longer perspective in one dimension.
