I agree Varm...I always like a subject in a photo. Gives it something of interest. BW might be tough to keep from being to busy but it would be fun to play with. Something discarded and old always looks good BW I think.
i agree with you guys ... that crate picture was kind of laziness on my part. i had a much more interesting angle in mind but i didn't want to squat down in all these itchy weeds and bugs to get it. lol.
there's also a lot of burn out that i'm unhappy with. i always seem to have a white or almost-white sky when i'm not completely focused on it.
mainly i just posted those two because i wanted to start up a new autumn thread.
