The Glove on the Fence


When we went to the beach with our coffee and donuts last Tuesday, after I parked the car and we had been sitting there with our breakfast for a bit, I noticed this glove on one of the metal fence posts for the drift fence.  I didn't see it right away - this drift fence is some distance onto the beach from the parking lot, and this photo is done with a telephoto lens.  I thought it was funny to have one hand waving at us as we had our coffee and donuts.  It was definitely a photo.  It is on the fence post because there is a sidewalk between us and the beach, and obviously someone found this single glove and put it there so it would be found eventually by whoever lost it.  I tried some different shots, closer, further back and lower angle and this slightly higher angle to see which version I liked best.


Later in the afternoon I went for my 2 1/2 mile walk, and knowing that the light had changed and that it was cloudy, and I was walking right by the parking lot, I walked over to the glove and tried doing some  more photographs in the different light and sky background.  I think my favorite is this one.  I am closer and the glove is higher and so it is way more obvious than the first photograph.  So I will accept any opinions on which photograph of the glove everyone likes!  My favorite thing, a vote on my photos!
