Edits welcome
P.S. If anyone has a mind to crop, recolour etc. any of these shots, be my guest - always open for ideas how to take better pics.
Melbourne shots
My favourite supposedly arty photos since arriving in Melbourne. Again, all have appeared on the blog before.
Favourite photos from our time in Sydney

OK, version one it is
Yeah, I think that's my preference too. I like the other glasses being in focus in the second picture, but the full glass really needs to be in focus, I guess. In hindsight I think I would have arranged the middle glass to overlap a bit more with the full one.
But thanks for the authentic-sounding crit, though, Dr G. To think I had chiaroscuro elements and shades of Bonnard. My favourite bit is the blurry speechmaker. Sort of coherent, innit. Replete.
So, er, what do you think about the other ones? Be cruel.
I like the ladders one. 'Ladders', you see, plural innit, cos there's, like, a LADDER, then there's like, a SHADOW of a ladder, then - and this is the REALLY clever bit - there's like, bricks, and they look a BIT LIKE A LADDER. Eh? Eh? See?
I like the 'crop circles' one cos it's got foreground and midground (sort of) and background, and there are circles everywhere (clever eh?). I don't know why that's nice but I find it so. It needs somethingr, I can see that, but I'm not sure what.
I also like the shadows and textures on 'number five' (that would make a nice painting), the personality and composition of 'look at me', and the way I've caught the people in the various tractor shots. (Apologies for the preeminence of tractors here. There were a lot about, and I was in a photo mood. Unavoidable.) 'Tractor jam' would be better if I'd caught the left and rightmost men's faces. It's about them, that one.
Also they look better in their big versions. Particularly 'Six Eight'. The colours could be better on that one but I like the fag man on his tiny tractor, with the other one in front. I'm going through a depth of field phase, as also evinced on 'Breather'. Just an interesting-looking bloke, hat on, foot up, kicking back.
