American Gothic ~ April 1 [18]

South Dakota

I realize this isn't even remotely reminiscent of Grant Wood's masterpiece of the same name, but that's the name that popped into my head when I saw this shot and so that's its name... ;)

11051912 is right: It does somewhat stylistically resemble some of Edward Hopper's works, perhaps most notably "Nighthawks."

Nikon D70 ,Nikkor 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5G ED-IF AF-S DX Zoom
1/50s f/4.5 at 70.0mm iso1600 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Well seen and taken. I love the composition that leaves lot of empty space and this wonderful light. Great shot Greg

It does have wonderful color, lighting and the solitude of GW!

Gary Winters		04-Apr-2007 03:32
It's perfect. I might crop out the bench on the left hand side, but that might throw off the angles so maybe not. It's a wonderful image just perfectly lit!

Wonderful! Such a cosy looking spot for a read!
