This was another strong one. I took a similar image before this one and staged a ball but in this case the football was already there, so i used the opportunity to include it in my shot. The message being that the space could be potentially turned into a play area. I composed the houses in the background to further the idea. The area was in the middle of these houses and roads going all the way around. I took the image in Burnley.

  4. I like the depth of field in this photo, the football in there helps to achieve the goal of the photo.

    Nicely done :)

  6. I thank you for taking a look at my blog, however I would much prefer encouraging criticism about my photographic work. In answer to the above question; I took the photograph in an overgrown area that was previously a primary school on Todmorden road in Burnley.

  7. So, those houses are the back of Lyndhurst Road? I think that puts the shot in Bank Hall ward, so why not have a word with your councillors (e.g. Julie Cooper, http://www.burnley.gov.uk/site/scripts/councillors_info.php?councillorID=92&viewBy=specificParty). Perhaps they would like to organise the play area you're suggesting?
