Patience, and a watchful eye, are two attributes that every photographer should carry in their kit-bag.
They help me make a silk-purse out of a sow's ear. Not that these two shots are "silk-purses"! In the first pair, I liked the shadow lines on the foot-bridge, but the full image did not emphasise them. Instead of just cropping, back here in my parlour, I took another shot just of the shadows, which satisfied me more. In the second pair, I liked the rusty cyclone-fence, and the disappearing path. But a disappearing path is nearly alwways better with someone disappearing along it. All I had to do was wait, in this case, less than a minute. |

From sow's ear to silk purse ... sort of!

I agree patience and a watchful eye are two very important tools for a photographer as you have demonstrated here. Of late I am asking myself to find the uniqueness in a frame and try and emphasise it. A photographers tools evolve, they dip they weave with not only the subject but also the photographers mood.
Patience is as you say very important when it comes to photography. I do lack a bit of that. Sometimes when I'm very happy with a photo I had to wait for no one else seems to get it!
Pople make a photo come alive.
Wonderful composition in these shots!
I dunno - I like the first one of the disappearing path. With the fence in the foreground so striking and in focus and the path slightly out of focus - I think it captures the disappearing quality better. And the dark in the foreground and the bits of light leading your eye down the path.
I like dappled light
