I truely appreciate your comments Jocelyn but I disagree. There are several things working here. First, all of the parallel lines that compose rooftop, doorway top, window and paint line on the bottom "point" to Buzz and tend to draw the eye of the viewer from left to right (just like we read) straight to Buzz. Next the low angle makes Buzz larger than life (and believe me if nothing else is true about this photo, he is larger than life) and places him in a position of greater importance to the shop that he operates. Finally, the dark doorway and windows are significant in that the creatures contained therein are found in such dark places (the kind of places we don't want to reach into without looking into first). However, having said all this, interpretation of all art is a subjective process and the rules are meant to be broken. Everyone will see something different and that is what makes it interesting. My only regret about this photo is that I didn't move Buzz slightly more to the right therby exposing the entire name of the shop and at a slightly steeper angle making him even more dominate.

Of course I don't mind. Exchanging ideas and concepts is what this is all about.

Good Luck

If you would like I would be happy to email you a jpg that is larger and you could experiment with it (the photo could not be used for anything other than this experiment of course).

I do have some other photos on betterphoto.com (in fact I uploaded a new one last night - a children's playground). I have a studio portrait in the individual studio section, a photo of ruined buildings in the landscape section, and another set of old buildings buried in the new arrivals section.

What about you? do you have any photos posted?
