Of the three shots of this rectangle that I'll be posting this one is my favourite. Well, I prefer tomorrow's, but in tomorrow's version the rectangle is more of a secondary element than the primary focus of the shot. What I do like about this one though is the sense of scale: the rectangle looks somewhat larger in this one :-)
As always, let me know what you think.

And once again the colouring's ace. It's almost worth learning how to hack just so I can steal your PSD masters ;)
I think I like this one best so far because of the balance between ground and sky. Seems like you've spent more time on local contrast rather than overall contrast.
comment byJamey at 07:07 PM (GMT) on 26 June, 2006
Oh, and is that shadow on the left (visible on the sand, which is brighter nearer the wall) natural or is it part of a hefty vignette?
comment by Jake at 07:16 PM (GMT) on 26 June, 2006
I love both shots so far... I like the composition of this photo, and the color of yesterdays...
The curb in this shot takes on a whole new feel; here it seems to stretch back to infinity...
comment byAndrew at 07:17 PM (GMT) on 26 June, 2006
Quite impressive. If I didn't know what this was a shot of, I'd think it was a giant wall.
comment bySysagent at 07:36 PM (GMT) on 26 June, 2006
Wow. Great shot, the scale is huge and since it fades to black its as if it never ends.
comment byNapfisk at 08:01 PM (GMT) on 26 June, 2006
What I think? I'm beginning to hate you ;-) Yesterday's was good, great colours, but this just rocks. I love the sand against the wall: great sharpness and contrast. It looks alive almost. Yep, you're scary. Scarily good!

Your image is like my daily food.
Not incidentally, the comments left by others often contribute knowlege, too.
I learn from your photos and from your audience. Applause to both!
comment byRobert at 08:33 PM (GMT) on 26 June, 2006
Love the depth and perspective. The sharp, rough texture of the wall is a great contrats to the soft clouds. The tone and the stark symbol make it feel like it's part of a strange, apocalyptic movie.
comment by Rick at 08:55 PM (GMT) on 26 June, 2006
Judging from the smudge of sand on the bottom corner it appears either today's or yesturday's was "flipped" horizontally. Which one? Any particular reason?
I love both of them!
comment byAndy Cogbill at 08:56 PM (GMT) on 26 June, 2006
Dave, I think I prefer yesterday's to this one. I think the color adds a bit more three-dimensionality to the scene, and while I certainly enjoy the tones in this shot, I think yesterday's is more "about" the yellow rectangle.
Can't wait to see tomorrow's.
comment byJamey at 09:05 PM (GMT) on 26 June, 2006
Rick - the smudge is in the same place on today's and the one of John lying down so it was probably yesterday's that was flipped. Not that it really matters.
Dave - I'm happy to field these questions for you if you like. My fees start at £10 per hour ;)

If only you'd been around doing this kind of shot when Pink Floyd were looking for an album cover image...
I like this one a lot because of its unsettling sense of scale, the compositional balance and the beautiful light - well processed!
comment bymihai at 11:24 PM (GMT) on 26 June, 2006
i dont think i can add more from the others...only words like awesome, stunnig, amazing comes out of my mind....post processing it`s on the way to perfection....cool texture of wall, as usual the sky...very well tones.
Like bill61 said ...ur photos are food for me.
comment byifeelhome.net at 11:49 PM (GMT) on 26 June, 2006
This....is great. Congrats on such a great shot, any chance at all we can see an original? This is an accomplishment.
comment bydaniel at 12:33 AM (GMT) on 27 June, 2006
Love the DOF, composition and the tones! More magic from chromasia.
comment byMichael Stanton at 03:41 AM (GMT) on 27 June, 2006
Love the texture of the wall, another great shot here.
comment by Jukka at 05:48 AM (GMT) on 27 June, 2006
Okay, it´s great, it´s amazing.....but why all your photos give such a hopeless dark feeling.....you´ve been listening The Wall too many times ;-)
comment by Sharla at 05:50 AM (GMT) on 27 June, 2006
Very nice! I love the scale. We know the true dimensions from your earlier posts but without those to judge, this wall would be huge. As stated earlier, the convergence to black is great and the resulting affect is infinite. Not so sure how you managed to have shades of yellow in a b&w shot but it works. Yes, very nice.
comment byFellow Eskimo at 11:46 AM (GMT) on 27 June, 2006
More impressive than yesterdays, probably because the sky is better for me.
comment bySteveO at 12:18 PM (GMT) on 27 June, 2006
This is really good, i love the perspective, and the way it gets so dark at the vanishing point, ace shot :-)
comment bynavin harish at 12:55 PM (GMT) on 27 June, 2006
If I had not seen yesterday's shot, I'd have thought this is a really tall wall.
comment bydavid at 01:06 PM (GMT) on 27 June, 2006
love the image - the tones and angle superb..really draws in the eye :)
comment byTimothy Gray at 01:27 PM (GMT) on 27 June, 2006
what a great angle! really leads you into the scene!
Jamey: I'm informed that we have a very secure server ;-) As for the shadow: it's more to do with the vignette than the original scene.
Rick: this one is flipped horizontally because I thought it looked better that way round.
ifeelhome.net: if I get some spare time over the next couple of days I'll put up the original.
Jukka: I wouldn't say they had a 'hopeless dark feeling'. Sombre, maybe, but not hopeless.
Rob: no, nothing quite as dramatic as lightning ;-)

The low viewpoint really does it for me in this shot - and let's not forget the amazing texture that you can almost feel when you touch the computer screen.

A yellow rectangle...You are here.
Forever seems so far away.

Hi Dave, I like this shot more than the previous because of the angle and the very dramatic tone. What if giving more contrast to the rectangle?
I love the vanishing point it make it look as the wall extends for miles...excellent.
Lovely. The DOF and vanishing point is great. Nicely processed.
I am sensing lightning in tomorrows shot....yes?
Composition here is super.i prefer this one over yesterdays one, yesterdays one was a super one too, only didn't like the colors of sky there.
Very cool composition and the faded colours are great
Love it...love the sky most of all-beautiful.
Very dramatic. Very dynamic. I enjoy it very much. Greetings from Finland.

It's amazing to me this wall is only a few inches tall. It really shows the effect a short focal length can have.
That is just stunning.
