also abandoned

[Delany]

Here's another "abandoned" shot that I did not put into the assignment thread. I think I like this one better. Feedback? Thanks!

In all reality, it was good that you did not submit this for the assignment because I personally can't tell what the picture is of. It looks Like a wall with maybe "water delivery"? Just out of curiosity, please fill me in on what this is and why you took it for the abandoned thread? I am sure the storyline and history will fill in all of the question marks. Thanks

Well, then, I guess I'm glad I didn't submit it, as well.

It's an abandoned Water Department facility in Kansas City. Overgrown with brush. I took it because I thought it was interesting. And, it is very much "abandoned."

When I look at this picture, I don't see anything that conveys abandonment. A wider or different angle might have captured the overgrowth, which would suggest abandonment or neglect. I'm just a tyro, though.

Thanks. Actually, I agree that it does not really convey a whole lot about the feeling or theme of abandonment. I thought it was an interesting image, on its own, and wondered if others thought so, too.

I'll be more careful in the future! Just figuring out my way around, here.

I would have to agree that it dosen't really look abandoned from this angle, although it is an interesting image.

Yes it is an interesting shot and the contrasting colors work well but I can't take my eyes off of that lens flare.
