this is a shot taken yesterday on my home built 4x5 wide angle camera.
58mmXL. Clean Skins (Russian Film I think). half the bridge washed away in a storm last month.

These pictures were taken on an old ranch just south of Winslow, Arizona. I guess they could be considered ruins.

More Wupatki ruins.
Are you making fine art ? Telling a story ?
The kitchen photo has more information, we might say, but it is not as beautiful. It is more rambling, less finely composed.
The sink image has much more pleasing tones and is more pleasing to the eye in general, even when both images are viewed from a distance, or when squinting. It would be more likely to hang on my wall than the kitchen photo.

Thanks for the comments.
As I look at the kitchen image, I think it would have been better if I focused on the stove and left out all of the clutter on the right.

Not sure I agree. I think the clutter to the right adds to the story so to speak.
Exactly - That's why I asked if he was telling a story: it helps us critique the photos.
If we're trying to convey the facts about a kitchen, then we see things more literally. The stuff on the right, helps conveys an impression of antiquity.
When we're mostly interested in the aesthetics, then we see a sink as a porcelain sculpture. We appreciate the beauty of the barrel, and the light skimming along the boards.
We can do both of course.

From 2002, I think, with my OmegaView-45E and 210 Xenar on Ektachrome 64.
There is some really nice work in this thread. I particularly like the sink image. Nice.
