Wood Knot, a photo from West Sussex, England

Photographer's Note

The weathered and knotted wood of a blue and yellow beach hut languishing in winter sunshine on West Wittering Beach in West Sussex, England.

I apologise for the necessity to watermark my images; I am trying to make it as discreet as possible. But in recent weeks I have discovered that some of my images posted on TE have been hi-jacked and are now being used promotionally on other websites, without my permission. I like this site and want to continue posting so this is the only way I can see to perhaps discourage this problem.

Hi Brian,
Love the combination of yellow and blue here! The visual effect created by the vivid tones and simple but creative composition is brilliant. Very well seen and cropped. TFS.

All the best,

Hello Brian,
A cleverly composed image combined with a beautiful study in tones and textures. Superb warm and cool tonal contrasts and excellent rendering of the detail in the woodwork.

Brian,
Simple but magnificent work, trademark of the house. Thanks again to bring us color in these gray and cold spring days.
Cheers,
Juan

Hi Brian,

Who would not note and admire this wood knot? Would not you had had a keen eye and spotted this wood knot, you would not have taken a shot of this wonderful wood knot - would you not? :)

Again, your "favourite" 20mm lens has provided you with wonderfully strong perspective as well as immense depth of field and superlative sharpness. And again the juxtaposition of two complementary colours - yellow and blue - has added great impact. Lovely strong lines of composition too.

Very well seen and very expertly taken too!

Fabulous!

Kind Regards,

John.

Dear Brian..

I love so much about this brilliant composed photo. Original, simple and artistic. I love the texture on the wood..

The color is intense, the space to capture the soft cloud, it shows it's framed really well.

Hello Brian,

I have to admire a photographer who can turn a knot, especially one in wood, into such an attractive piece of art!
The colours and the textures are sublime!
Your expertise with composition has really come into its own, providing lead lines and following the celebrated rules!

Have a great w/e,
Bev :-)

Hello Brian

Good use of shape and colour to create a great graphical composition. I like the way you have the shadow area at the bottom well exposed too. Nicely done.

Hello Brian,

this is minimalistic, this is graphical, this is art.
No doubt about it!

Congratulations from Rhineland (still grey and cold)

Hello Brian,
You made a good observation and a clever composition. The colours are nice and strong and the texture of the wood has created some fine patterns.

Hello Brian,

The colors are, as usual, very nice, but the most beautiful stuff in this picture is the perfect composition. Congratulations, it is very well done.

Ciao Brian
devo dire che dove c'� il colore non manca la sua presenza.
Basta un piccolo particolare, un colore che risalti bene nell'azzurro del cielo e per te � subito un ottimo scatto e un conseguente buon successo.
Anche se si tratta di un piccolo dettaglio che lascia solo indovinare il soggetto,non manca la solita nitidezza e la cura della composizione. Bravo.
Ciao e buona serata
Romano

jjcordier (79299) 2013-04-05 22:26

Hello Brian,
brilliant idea and really excellent execution of the shot!Again your famous and colorful beach huts shown to us in a different,more abstract way-the outcome is spectacular.Just jove the combination of light and warm,vivid colors.

Have a good weekend
Krzysztof

annjackman (23019) 2013-04-06 9:37

Hello Brian,
I have just critiqued an image of yours where the paint was new and shiny. This beach hut contrasts very well. You have selected a part that shows the weathered paint and bare woodgrain to great effect. Interesting to have half of the picture as sky but it works well, particularly with the delicate diagonal line of thin cloud.
Kind Regards, Ann

Simple but effective! I really like the way you used the way you used the wispy cloud to complete the composition.
Nice colours too. :)

Hi Brian,

With so many incredible photos to choose from, sometimes I can't figure out where to begin. :) I really like the minimal nature of this shot, but what impresses me the most is how you've made for a clear and distinct separation of blues between the sky and painted wood. The exposure to make this work so effectively is simply spot on. The bookmark composition suits this extremely well and allows for so much sky to be included without being negative space. Strong textures as well, outstanding result! Have a great day.

All the best,

Jason

Hi Brian!
A very good detail and a really eye catching photo. The composition, the colours and textures are excellent! You got a really good shot with a very simple detail. I like the way the colour of the wood almost gets mixed with the colour of the sky.
