Arrow Perspective is everything

Perspective plays an important role in everyone's life and in photography.

Too Far


And Too Close


These shots were taken quiet a while back when we were driving back from Wallaman Falls in North Queensland, Australia to Townsville where we live.

I wanted to take shots of transmission towers for so long that I had to stop here.

Cheers

Both Great Shots, but I like the Perspective in the 2nd shot best! Well Done!
Thanks for sharing these
Michael.

Love that second one! All those sharp lines and then the background of soft puffy clouds, along with the impact of color, the blue/white/black/silver combo, plus a great composition -- wonderful! Thanks for sharing it.

Thanks Tenzin'sMom: I didn't think in the way you described. I think that is the major hurdle I have to pass if I want to take good to great shots. I really need to understand the colours, the sharpness, converging lines, composition etc. Right now I think about what I like in a photo and shoot it.
