Welcome back Dale, I like this at first glance, you think they are squares then you look again and realize they are chairs. Kowing myself I would have got fixed on the the one black chair with all the gold ones. you know like be unique, i'm different , or something corny... great capture. Rita #7677642

Anthony L. Mancuso 6/25/2009 12:37:06 PM

Great eye Dale, excellent image here..its a shoe in for an EP in EOD and probably more...i would only consider cloning over the brown chair on the top of edge with one of the gold ones or cropping to a longer horizontal rectangle...actually the longer I look at it the more potential crops I see, but yours is outstanding nonetheless.. #7677661

Debbie E. Payne 6/25/2009 12:42:48 PM

I agree, Dale ... this one has Winner written all over it. Wouldn't change a thing. #7677676

Michael Kelly 6/25/2009 12:54:43 PM

Great shot Dale - my hat is off to the folks who set these up with such precision for you to capture so beautifully. Like Tony I see lots of options here, but this one works fine for me. #7677714

Christie R. Bielss 6/25/2009 2:49:21 PM

Great capture Dale! Looks like an engineer got out there and directed the chair placement!! Fantastic shot as is. #7678050

Anne M. Young 6/25/2009 3:17:27 PM

Susan M. Reynolds 6/25/2009 5:09:31 PM

A huge thanks to all my friends at Phellos for the kind comments. Luckily I have the original (I think) of this shot and there is room for many other crops, as some of you have mentioned.

This was taken at my Grandson's graduation from Oregon State college last week. #7678779

Laura L. Gonzales 6/26/2009 12:24:59 AM

Fantastic capture and pov, Dale!! You must have been in the nose bleed seats. LOL! Great work! Laura #7679142

Aimee C. Eisaman 6/26/2009 5:21:21 AM

Great eye Dale! Very nice composition...would have taken me forever to figure out how to frame this! Love that one brown chair.....really adds someting to this shot! :~) #7679834

Dale Hardin 6/26/2009 7:56:57 AM

Thanks Laura Lee. It was in the nose bleed seats for sure. Here's another shot of the area.

Thank you Aimee. As you can see from this other shot, there are lots of variations to this pattern that can be salvaged. I'll be trying them all. #7680394

Aimee C. Eisaman 6/26/2009 9:00:09 AM

So you compose shots like this after the fact? Thats a good idea....I always find composing in PS easier than in camera! :~) #7680661

Dale Hardin 6/26/2009 1:01:08 PM

In this case I did. My lens didn't allow me to get close enough at this location. Usually I compose when I'm shooting. However, I always leave a little extra in case I have to correct for tilt or whatever. #7681303

Sharon Lohrmann 6/26/2009 4:08:54 PM
