Nice shot. I like the b/w. I wonder why you didn't include more of the cable - it looks like it has a great shadow?

I've been using perspective correction a bit recently (don't know whether you saw testamento II) - I select 'free transform' in PS, drag a few guide lines off the rulers into the image (probably four), approximately where I expect to have the lines I want horizontal/vertical, then CTRL-drag the corners of the image until everything squares up. The guides are very helpful in making it accurate. The process usually takes quite a few iterations, since each time you move one corner, everything else changes...

Wonderful shot! I like the texture of the wall...it really looks spectacular! The play of shadows is really well shown here. Wonderful image!

Really great urban detail. Your capture of the pattern and tonality of this wall are great. I like you're off-center position of the phone, too. Well seen and executed.

Very good composition, good framing but strange decoration .

Classic composition and use of B&W. I particularly like the 1970s or 1980s interrepetation of 'modern' in the tiles.

(I would have straightened the handset though...)

I do kind of like this shot... Why?? I guess beacause of the bubbles on the wall.. Something is disturbing me in this shot though..

bravo, to this minimal graphical abstract picture,
especially the fact that it's B&W .

Very artistic shot. I particularly enjoy where you placed the phone within the frame, it seems to create a sort of balance to the image by lightening the darker half of the frame. I also find the perspective interesting. They way you have captured it here, it seems as though the wall could be curved slightly which to me almost creates a sense of motion. The fact that the phone isn't perfectly hung, adds a bit of diagonal motion within the frame and infers that someone was there almost eluding to the presence of a person. One thing that I think really could add to the overall image is a very small detail, the fact that there are two number eights. This photo already has so much depth and texture as well as repetition, I thought it would be fun to reinforce the slight illusion of a person by adding focus to the handwritten eights. Check out my workshop.

This looks both sci-fi and old fashioned at the same time. Fun composition. Lighting is quite effective here as it adds a cool, scientific feel to the patterns.

The patterns and texture are wonderful, but the impact of the receiver askew is particularly great. Well done.

Hello Adam,

Very nicely done.Beautiful composition with B/W. The honey comb design forms a very interesting pattern.

PS: Are you the web master? I saw messages in the Announcements from you.Or Am I mistaken?

Hello Adam
Very unique photo you have shown us.
I agree with you, the perspective is a touch skewed, but that aside, the hexagonal pattern broken by the rectangular phone box is wonderful. Very catchy mixture that really stands out. By the way, what was the original colours of the composition?
TFS, Brendon

this is a wounderful b&w image. i love the way the shadows form around the circles. although its a simple shot its not common and has a very unique prespective. well done
