Just me, while geocaching

This cache required some stealth to enter the building ;)

This is a pretty strong picture.
The subject is a male in black in a colorful and contrasting setting of a dilapidated building. The main colors present are vivid greens and washed out blues with contrasting red-orange graffiti lightly framing the subject. The fisheye is applied subtly, and with great effect! The building absolutely SAGS. It couldn't be a more depressed building! crumbling ceiling, giant scabs of the floor missing, not a window in sight. But then there's life! All this crazy graffiti motion in the middle, and the rich greens flowing in from the window and a bush growing inside the place showing that life is indeed present and thriving in this ruinous place.
It does have a few problems: You have a column growing out of your back that kind of steals your arm, and your head has a big black rectangle mickey mouse ear. If you wanted to refine it, lightening up the black region behind the head, and just a bit of the shadow of your arm will help define your features. If not, its a cool place, I would go back for more photos myself<img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)"/> Maybe try the same shot , but with you posed on the other side of the column. The weight of the building kind of absorbs you where you are. Your weight would collect all that back lighting, and achieve a cool balance.



Ahhh, Geocaching. I left a partially filled sketchbook in a cache about 6 years ago( or more now). Included instructions to take it, fill a page up and leave it somewhere else. I didn't however include instructions on how to get it back to me when it was done... I wonder whatever happened to it, haha.
