This shot is from spring-time of 1996 during my senior-year photo class and depicts my Uncle Tony relaxing on the patio of my old home in Irvine. While I like the tones in the picture as well as the afternoon’s lengthening shadows, I’m not too thrilled with the framing and composition. I re-cropped the picture to improve it a bit, but the merge of the poll sprouting from Tony’s head bugs me.
