Good afternoon all. On Saturday morning I took a trip to Milford Green located in the center of town. It was a nice warm day, with a craft and food fair which meant for a lot of people and hopefully some good photography. I chose the center because there are a quite a few historic houses, buildings and landmarks. I was fortunate enough to take shots of landmarks that I have grown fond of over the years from living in Milford.
My first photo is of a little sandwich / soup restaurant called Liquid Lunch. What I like about Liquid Lunch (besides their food) is the building itself. The building stands out from the others in the area because of the structure's texture and contemporary look. The texture of the building resembles that of a house in Sante Fe, New Mexico with a textured beige adobe look. The light reflecting in the window makes it seem that there is a white or curtain covering it from the inside.
My second photo is of bell monument. I liked the stone structure holding bell for its shape and for the monument blended in with the rest of Milford's green. I was also very pleased with the contour of the bell, wooden beam and stone monument's shadows on the ground. Their merging shadows made for a very interesting shot.
On a side note I was at a very busy outing with people everyone, but I noticed that with about 99% of my photos (about 50) I managed to escape the people. Something I wasn't even trying to do.
Additional photos being posted to my fotothing account.

Hi Rich,
You can color balance both photos if you use the neutral eyedropper tool in Picasa or Photoshop (it's in the levels there) Notice how there is an excess of cyan in both?
Work to find a focal point that is the source of light (see how the bell has to compete with the bright sunlight behind it?)
The round shape of the bell versus the square stone masonry really contrast well.
