Basketball Court Construction

I think I might have been overly influence by the road construction taking place around our apartment when it came to shooting todays photos. When I reviewed the images I took on my bike ride to town and back, easily 75% of shots were of some kind of construction project. The sea-side pathway and basketball court/zocalo has been undergoing a complete renovation for the past few months. It is really starting to take shape and looks about a month away from completion (which I am certain will require another blip or two).

Wide Wednesday was another eye opening experience. Some of the photos were very literal, while others had a more ethereal nature about them. I was a bit surprised by the number of entries that were clearly not “wide”. While many of them were good photos I was hesitant to select them considering the challenge description dictates “... to make a nice wide view of the following themes...”. That being said, these are the images I thought satisfied that intent the best:

Top 5 (Hearts)
Sheol - I liked the way the trees framed the kicker while the goal posts framed the distant goalie, a frame within a frame, very effective in black and white.

Laurie54 - Liked the warm feeling this image evoked and the way the railing created a picture frame effect.

AnnieBelle - The scooter totally makes this photo, it adds some extra color and I like that it is not centered in that huge frame.

pkln - Bicycles are a favorite subject and I like how this photographer has used the one to frame the others.

kipsie - Not a typical frame, but I do like how the feathers set off the birds body while the tight crop fills the frame nicely.
