parallelogram

I saw the pictures of the boots and looking up, and we were cooking out on our deck just now, and I saw this picture, and I thought, "Hey, Dude! Why not take a picture of this and post it on NPN!", and I did so.

Pentax K-5, Tamron 1--24mm at 10mm, ISO 100, 1/90s, 4 fingers of Jack Daniels, hand-held: I knew I'd had enough when I turned around to brush something off my back only to discover it was the floor.

If you like this on any level, give me a shout-out; that will boost my ego. Ego boosts help to motivate me to take more pictures. Without them, I'd probably just watch movies on Netflix.

If you can get beyond that, what do you think of the whole idea of posting an image with the theme of geometry on a nature picture forum and does this "work" for you on any level?

Do you find yourself having feelings that are positive, negative, or neutral?

Do you like the title "parallelogram" or do you think "trapezoid" would have been better? I struggled with this and could go either way.

Do you think it would be better in B&W with a slight sepia tone?

Does the inclusion of the satellite dish add or detract from the overall message and effect?

Do you find yourself troubled by the idea of a "vanishing point"?

The answers to these questions and any others that may occur to you would be very much appreciated.

Hi John,
First of all :toast: cheers! I do find the satellite a bit distracting. The nice deck boards lines lead me to the far rail... As I look through the rail boards... I see a scene, mind you its the neighbors home, grass and a tree....but still a scene. Now I see another partial scene and wonder if you can improve it a tad? Lets see...maybe same point of view and angle, but move the camera over to the right, deck board by deck board starting with the third one until you create a scene through the other rail boards. Parallelogram works for me.
