Those two - a common sight around rivers and lakes here now. Always wanted to sneak a pic, but felt it an invasion. You were distant enough not to disturb. Very thoughtful image.

I like your composition putting the subject at the extreme. The photo also looks old because of the vertical streaks, kinda Holga like effect hehe.

Great shot Chris. for such a rigid and urban setting theres a wonderful softness and subtlety to the processing. A fine image.

are those vertical streaks from some sort of window you were looking through when you shot this? the bridge cutting across horizontally is a nice comp choice.

@Zach Siebert: Cheers Zach, the streaks are PP.
Great image and the processing is spot on too.

Somehow I missed this one earlier. This is very well done, nicely exposed and composed and wonderfully processed. But what captures me about it isn't the composure or anything else technical. It's the many-fold, intricately laced, storylines that criss-cross and weave through each other with the complexity of the powerlines in the next shot. There are so many storylines here, each as interesting as the last, and every one linked, somehow, to the one that precedes and the one that follows. There are the two men in the foreground, we wonder who they are, why one is smoking, if they're going to fish or have just left fishing. Did they catch anything? Do they even know each other or is the one smoking homeless and just talking to a fisherman? Is he even smoking or is that just his breath? Who is the man walking across the bridge? What does he think of all the football mums driving their SUV's? Do people in Australia drive as many SUVs as they do here in the US? Is football mum the right term for soccer mom? Is he going to get hit, are the women having affairs, who put up the telephone pole in the background? How many birds sit on it everyday? How many fish do they catch? Do they catch the same fish as the men? Or the man? Is the man sleeping with one of the women? Am I crazy or do I just have an imagination that's thrice the size of my mind?

@Paul Ricciardi: Cheers Paul, I tend to think along the same lines when I look at others photos. That's the beauty, it's a captured moment of time from the photographers POV. As always thanks for your comments and input; as you mentioned it's comments like these that keep you taking photos.
