Strong!

Colmar Wocke Nice to receive a comment so long after originally going up on the front page!

Enjoy the Festive Season and go well.

I love it! But.. just for question.. since your idea seemed to have a symmetric image, couldn't you cut the image to have the line of the ground on the centre?
Sorry if the question seems stupid, but i'm still a novice.
Congratulation!

Colmar Wocke pdiablos,

If you look carefully, you'll see it is!

Colmar

pdiablos My eye has been tricked.. sorry! You're perfecly right!!
No more complaining, just congratulating!

Hello Colmar
are the details that others do not perceive, they do a good photographer, this your shot
fascinates me

Colmar Wocke Alex,

Nice of you to come past and leave me your wonderful comment.

Go well.

reminds me of a metal skeleton of a robotic dinosaur. well spotted shot that most would walk past

Colmar Wocke Dianne,

You have also thought similar to myself - at one point I did think of turning it on its side and calling it Spinal or something like that!

Enjoyed reading your commentary for this reason.

Go well.

very well visualized Colmar. I commented to someone yesterday that I need to view my own environment with a more open eye, top shot. mal

Colmar Wocke Mal,

Thanks so much for what I know is a genuine comment, after having met you in person - when I took this I was on my way to meet you and all the others the next day.

Initially I was unsure on whether to submit this, but got "brave" and did it!

But thanks - thanks for taking the time to comment here. Much appreciated.

Go well.

Very well done. It's funny how we can look at such objects differently when we look at them on a photo, and not only as ordinary useful trolleys.

Colmar Wocke MarieM,

I think it is the very-neatly arranged Swiss order that may have triggered me here - I am drawn to graphic shapes anyway.

Thanks for leaving me a nice message!

Colmar

MarieM "very-neatly arranged Swiss order "... ha!!!!! for sure :)
and being french so little bit "messy" I understand better :))

Deborah Fort 3 years ago

A favorite subject of mine - there's something about their orderliness, their patience that is a bit captivating - you've captured that well here!

Colmar Wocke Deborah,

Thanks for the well-worded comment. Graphic shapes somehow resonate with my mind.

Luckily I had some time on my hand, just sitting there with the camera in hand!

Cool image.
And as I saw, you got two pictures published in one day. WOW

Colmar Wocke Frank,

Thanks very much - now, after having met you, the comment means much more to me than it would have otherwise.

This was the very first picture I took on the Amsterdam weekend. I formatted the card and there it was.

I almost did not submit this one - sometimes one is lucky, or luck is with the brave. Brave enough to risk rejection!

Many thanks for the comment - much appreciated coming from another Olympus-photographer.

Go well.

Colmar Wocke Ali,

You're right, it does have a certain "wavy rythmn" to it, now that you point it out.

A very graphical picture.
A great idea to take picture of an object like theses wheels.

Best regards.

Yves

Colmar Wocke Yves,

I tend to see things very graphically, being an Engineer by training.

The neat arrangement here was like a red rag to a bull for my eyes.

Thanks for stopping by and leaving me a nice, uplifting comment.
