Iguanasan's Nemesis

Another try at my old nemesis. I think I'm getting closer...comments?

You almost have it, the car is just too distracting for me and if you could maybe shot from the left a bit more I think you would have it. Almost though, even if the car was gone it might even work at that angle.

Agree with AL on the car/background issue. There's also the matter of the blue paint on the trunk and on the lower railing. IMO, to really 'get' a shot like is difficult. You need to have the perfect background and perfect focus. I'm not a huge fan of unfocused foregrounds; I'd like to see a sharp foreground merging to a soft background. I seem to recall some nice chunks of fence near (I think) Cambridge Battery in Point Pleasant Park that might work.

I do like the tension in the image. I would try to blur the car:)

Thanks, everyone. I'll have to try again! :D

this is definitely a photo worthy subject and not an easy one at that! have you tried shooting it from a low angle?

I've been up/down, left, right, forward and back :wall-an:

I'm sure the right angle exists but it's been elusive. :D

hmm you may have to sit on the fence :eek: better wear a cup! :evil2:

Have you tried the old mantra: if your pictures aren't good enough, you are not close enough ... ;)

Well just keep trying, the problem is when you get the perfect shot of it, no more nemesis. Now are sure thats what you Iggy? I probably would think that answer would be of course yes you dolt lol...... Maybe it is just waiting for you to find a new one before you beat this one just to keep you challenged?
