http://gsgary.smugmug.com/photos/27679931-M.jpg No responses yet? Well, for my 2 cents, I'll give it a go. I like it. The lighting is nice and warm and it gives a sense of place and age.

I like the colours and the feeling it gives, but I'm not too sure I'm crazy about the actual picture. I'm sure you've got plenty more! You should post more! -Jamie

Hey Gary, you have a cool subject matter, there. And thanks for raising the question.

If you don't mind me getting into it a bit.... your shot gets to one of the fundamentals of photography: it's not enough to see something and shoot it dead center of your frame. For it to be truly interesting, give it a bit of context.

Show the thing in its surroundings, that will help tell a visual story that people will find much more visually interesting. It takes a bit of compositional skill to make the shot wider, but still draw the eye to the subject of the shot.
