Very appealing, and nice effect the light on top of the hedge.

The simplicity of this is genius. And the hedge provides a wonderful echo of the clothesline -- really sharp composition.

I remember the days when my mother put laundry out to dry like this. My mother-in-law (inspite of the fact she had a dryer) always used the clothes line.

Always this beautiful opposition of the white and the black about is the subject !

You caught a real "down home" moment in the life - like a peek into bygone times.

@Viewfinder: thx! Very common in this area to hang out laundry...in the pollen, dust, and the occasional spot of bird pooh.

Well, Jerry, at least you didn't expose your dirty laundry.

I like how the shirt pops against those dark tones. Good one.

wow . . a washing line . . so rare to see anything hung out like that today. I like how you have allowed the exposure to give prominence to the shirt, too.

@Ronnie 2¢: thx! 2¢ I learned a little about this lense in the shot...still a little too tight.
bluechameleon from Vancouver, Canada
Excellent shot! There is just something about this...something almost comforting.

What is interesting that you manage to make "ordinary" images looking pretty special and unique :) Great composition here.
