Abstract Critique ⇒ Commercial Orchard

[LindaShorey]

I continue to be attracted to the varied shapes, repeating patterns, of commercial fruit orchards here. Does this one need a human, if only to understand the scale? Or is there some interest, i.e. "what the heck is this?" Your feedback and suggestions would be much appreciated!

I, too, love repeating patterns like this one offers. However, I am always distracted (disappointed?) by how the pattern falls apart the further out to the edges one goes.

Here is a suggestion for an alternative view of this scene. Maybe it'll inspire some variations on the theme.

Oh yes, thank you Duck! I was too familiar with the subject and couldn't see the trees for the forest (or something like that). Love your version. Greatly appreciate your helping me get unstuck!

Duck I believe saw the picture in the picture. I was going to suggest that the original was perhaps too busy, too much stuff, nowhere for the eye to rest. Duck's crop nails it. I have this problem as well! I will see something and just know there is a picture here someplace, but curse it if I can see it.

I have some interest, but can't put my finger on what it is. To me, this has a Infrared sorta look to it. I may be wrong, but thought I would throw that out there. I do, however like both versions here, just haven't made a decision on which one outweighs the other, if at all.

Linda, Thank you for posting this. I returned to the Columbia Mall yesterday, as Minnie had suggested, and took some shots of the repeating patterns in the roof work but couldn't settle on any one. Now I will look for the picture within the picture, as Chuck, Duck and Dave have suggested. I may post something later today. Happy Sunday. Matt

Chuck, Dave and Matt - thank you for taking the time to check out the image and comment. I'm very grateful! Dave, one of my edits did use a Nik infra-red filter; maybe this one has a touch of it? I also wanted contrasty rather than full tonal range.

I love how seeing through someone else's eyes can change the way we see everything. This is wonderful! S-
