Submitter's name:	Marc Lawrence
Title:	Pegs
Gear used:	OM-40/PC + 50/1.4 + +1(?) dioptre + two legs of tripod + cable release
Diaphragm:	f8
Shutter speed:	Not recorded
Film used:	Kodak Gold 100
Technical information:	Why two legs of tripod? I was standing on my tippy-toes on a tree stump, and the third leg had nowhere to go.
Subject information:	Just a clothesline, stretched between a couple of trees, with a few coloured pegs on it. I've taken way too many pictures of it (though mostly on slide film on my Canon, so they're "disqualified" from entering). I was swaying, the trees were swaying, and the line was swaying - not the best way to take a photo with such limited DoF. I think this would have been better with the righthand, blue peg sharpest, and less of the bright background on the left. I also like to stretch themes, obviously

I think you're being too harsh on yourself, I see nothing wrong with the sharpness of the blue peg, nor with the background. I like it just as is.

Good work in a difficult position. I like all the little lenses dangling from the clothespins. Each makes its own picture.

Don't change a thing - the colors, the water, the angle of the line, and the DOF all work together to make this a great picture.
