Oh, I like it a lot. Neat contrast between the clean, seemingly new tiles on the right and the battered, mussed up surfaces on the left. And the red is striking and different for Chromasia.

I like it a lot, David! Great clarity, contrast, juicy red. Nice to see a wall at chromasia :-)

Crikey. Just come from John's place and commented on his image being quite relaxing to this...a complete extreme :-) However, that's not to say I don't like this because I do...very vivid indeed. Sorry to hear about the unwellness (probably a made up word that). My little lad is full of a chesty cold so I'm also doing the sleepless nights thing at the moment :-(

Dave,

Beautiful red! Luscious.

Regards,
Jason

Yup...love the intense color in this although it is not my favorite shade of red :) The tilted perspective adds that little bit of interest.

Nice shot, the red is very powerful, and the different textures make the picture very interesting. It's true that it is a "nothing" shot, because there's no theme, or maybe just the way the picture looks it's the theme. Anyway, this kind of shots can also make you look twice.
Saludos

This is not a "nothing shot", at least for me. It's rich in texture, composition, have several red tonalities, and have good contrast between red, white and the black. It's not your strickyng photo but it's certainly a Chromasia shot.

wow..
i agree with nuno partially - this picture does speak a lot though its all painted in a single color n hence, is not a "nothing shot" !!

I think its interesting how a change in composition can bring so much to something which is relatively simple is amazing.

The textures aren't as strong as some that I have seen in your other shots, but the snow makes up for that.
The contrast and saturation is as good as usual.

I'm particularly drawn to the top right area (the red tiles), seems like they would give off a good reflection!

Well, it might be nothing more than a red entry alcove and surround, but what I like about this image is the degree of mastery over a very tricky color for digital cameras. Here, red is the main course, with the underlying geometry providing the garnish. These reds reveal a lot of detail and subtle difference in hue, and although they are super-saturated, they're not owerblown the way reds can easily get. That's a lot harder to do in digital than most people realize. I might be overestimating it. This is probably just another of David's "happy accidents". Yea, sure.

exactly what you said, is exactly what I think about it.

I hope you and Finley feel much better, soon!

next time, try looking through the viewfinder.

I really like this shot, i love the angle too it made me twist my head a few times lol. Hope your both better soon!

I've wondered about that: is it nothing if it's missing a clear subject? For the sake of variety, I hope not! I guess it depends on what the viewer sees and brings, just like any other art that is a few steps hidden from obvious.

I like this image; the ice breaks up the smooth red tiles and makes a nice segue to the metal.

I agree with your wife.
Very well done technically, and nice composition and color/texture.
But wheres the substance?

For those of us that have been tuning to c h r o m a s i a daily for some time, there are many classic djn elements in this shot: the perspective, the tllt, the mixed textures, and on.

Glad that I have a rare chance to agree with you rather than the missus (though she's still up about 987-2 :-) ).

As JD mentioned, the snow is the unusual element. Just a dusting is enough to give the necessary range and contrast, the interesting cool spots in a red hot pic.

Very nicely done!

It's a lovely dark red and I can appreciate the line and texture. But I know enough about marriage to know that she's right. Wife trumps art every time. ;-)

hi, dude. you have my sympathy: my worst night was an ear infection with my middle daughter. we finally got to sleep around five in the morning: i was on an early shift & never made it. keep smiling, it's worth it in the end, honest! ;-)

Nicely done! Got to love the red tiles. ;)

very red.
perfect for photo friday! :D

You need a rocking chair for Finley.

Like the Red, shapes, etc...

Feel bettter.

You are right, there is something there: the pattern, the difference in texture, the shapes. quite interesting.

i like that red color: it makes me happy. :)

David, wives are often the most critical second only to children of any father's "craft." As the father of two teenage kids, I sometimes ask them what they think of my shots. I only do so when my ego can take the inevitable bruising. Like you, I enjoy this shot as it has elements of texture and unusual composition. Good luck in the Photo Friday entry and mostly take care of your son.

Great colour, great composition, love the angle of the lines and love the fact that everything is red! Shots similar to this can be nothing shots, but you've captured something here, so definately not a nothing shot.

i dont speck english :((( but i love yours fotos...

red in here ;)

Great contrast in the textures.

Like the different tones of red here combined with the different textures

I really like it - the colour is lovely and the textures like you said :)

Hope that cold subsides soon and Fin is feeling perkier *hands you some more lemsip* :)

Im not normally for 'nothing shots', but i do like this one. The snow really adds another dimension.

full on in yer face colour, excellent.

Thanks everyone. Well, everyone except Hank ;-)

Hmm. Like the concept. I think I would have liked to have seen more tile and less of what looks like a corrogated metal door. While both are interesting in their own ways, because of the lines on the metal door and the linearity of the tiles, my eyes keep trying to see what's just beyond the upper-right of the picture.

I have to agree with you about the texture and colour and with your wife about the nothing shot. But I really don't feel that it's a nothing shot with this composition and with the ice/snow in the bottom.
