Desolation...

Pretty much says it all I think. Been doing some mini studio work to pass the time with. Nothing fancy, no more than a gray piece of finished styrofoam card 20" X 15", off camera flash (Canon 430EX Speedlite set at 45 degree angle to subject) on tripod w/overhead fluorescent lighting.

Very appropriate to convey the emotion and fit the title!

I'd like it better if it didn't have the OOF branch sticking out in front. How to get that and keep the view you have is something I don't have an answer to, though.

Yeah I can hear the guys over in the "stacking room" getting loud

Yeah got to agree with you though, maybe another angle might be better. Never noticed that until you brought it up, however, that is what these forums are all about really. I think the only bad photograph is the one not "constructively" criticized. Thanks Mike

EXACTLY! That is what I was trying to get at but did not know how to convey it. Thanks Doug!

Chant from the stacking room: "Clone Tool! Clone Tool!"

Never thought of that either Rik, sounds like a lot of hair pulling though. Thanks!
