Something Seen at the Park 2

I was out and about today. While running errands and such I hoped to finish up the photos I needed for our Scavenger hunt competition. I knew I'd be going by a park, so I stopped to look around and see if there was anything worthy of a shot. These benches were set up in front of a concert shell. As much as I love the shot I took of Sam, it is technically not taken in a park. Could I have submitted it any way? Yes, and the judge would probably have not known the difference. But I would have and that's why I went to the park today!

Good for you for that decision! I have the same standards for me! Nice photo to show a common park seating!

[Annie D]

great patterns on the chairs - and I feel the same about knowing too :)

[Barb Newcomb]

Great textures and repetition.

Very interesting photograph, so many questions

[Graham Thresher]

Great composition.

[Joan Robillard]

Is it your camera club that sets the scavenger list. We should try something like that here.

As much as I like the shot of Sam too I'm very proud of you for your integrity. This is a very unique shot and it has nice patterns and light. The processing is sure to make it a standout shot in your club.

[Francoise]

love my friends who are the souls of scrupulous honor. and this was a nice result. Without the bandshell in the frame, the empty benches and their purpose pose a nice mystery.

Great lines and patterns Ann

@olivetreeann In the world of art you never ask : Why. Because you only drive is to create.
