The first shot is my favorite.

Apology for the lack of commentary... I'm kinda on idle mode.

I like how angular it its. The foreground and background girders contrast perfectly. The rivets jut out nicely, too.

The sky in the 2nd shot is great, though, and adds a nice smooth gradient background.

I tend to like a sharper black/white contrast in black and white photos more like in the 3rd shot.

It's ok, I'm just interested in what people really think, ya know?

Angles, for real, man. I'm definitely after some strictly formal concepts with this series, focusing hard on compositional elements, and these steel beams are perfect for that.

Haha, I don't mean to imply anything, but the Photo 1 kids always go coo-coo for contrast. I don't what it is... maybe it's a generation raised on poorly Photoshopped MySpace photos or something, but every first year photo student makes their prints waaay too contrasty (except, of course, me, when I was in Photo 1).
