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!

They are both so different. The second photo is all about the glove which I like. I enjoyed your comment that the glove was waving at you while you were having breakfast.

Hands down the second "closeup" photo is the clear winner with much better lighting and detail.

Thank you both for your comments, and I agree with you both!

I prefer the 2nd photo better because it’s all about the glove. It looks like it’s waving at me :-)

I really like the second one with the closeup detail!
