This is fairly similar to yesterday's, and if I'd managed to shoot any new material today I would have probably posted that instead, but I do like this one, not least because it has a more organic feel, if that makes sense. Both, as it seems that it wasn't obvious, are shots of broken fire-glass in front of another sheet of glass; and both were shot in the same location as last Wednesday's entry.

Oooh I'm first! I need to get a life...
I prefer yesterday's, but I think I see your point about this one being more organic. I'd have liked to have seen them side by side, or maybe in a triptych with yet another version.

It's a nice abstract. I like the tones. Do you ever shoot high ISO shots? I don't recall you having done so.

Diamonds and destruction!

i like this one. i do like the organic-ness (?) of it. great job, dave!

Honestly... not a huge fan. It's too similar to yesterday's shot. While I appreciate a series of shots in a similar style or of a similar theme, this is too similar for my liking. However, taken by itself, still a fantastic shot.

Yes, it's so similar that for a moment I thought this *was* yesterday's shot, and clicked on my bookmark to JW's photoblog. Just before it loaded, I realised my mistake, and went back! (I guess this shows how long it takes for things to sink in these days :-))
If I could only have one of this pair, it would be yesterday's; but here, I like the way it looks like a freeze-frame of a glass (or ice!) explosion, with all those bits of glass suspended on (not exactly invisible) wires.

Instant update: clicked back to yesterday's, and realised that it's more different than I remembered. (So that's going as well :-))

Yesterday's shot is my favorite between the two. This works well as a continuation of the previous photo, but the first one os more appealing visually.

I too find yesterday's shot to be more interesting, but nonetheless, a well-composed photograph.

hmmm ... i can't decide which one i like better

What an amazing subject. The light is amazing, not only the primary source but the refractions off of the glass. Also, the wire is interesting in that it presents a sort of grid but then breaks apart. Another beautiful shot.

I think I prefer yesterday's version. It seems more explosive as all the lines have the same point of origin. As you follow them your are treated to a lovely transition of colour from grey metallic to a beautiful blue. Then again, today's has a broken feel to it which is also pretty good, so perhaps I am not so decided after all...

Haha! Lol..
This is the Update to Yesterday!
Getting into a Miniseries...eh?
This one is Superb too!
comment byChris at 05:28 PM (GMT) on 29 October, 2006
This one is really great. It almost looks like wired ice.

(always sorry for my english) This photo is like me in this moment. I am in a period where the memories of my last love story are slowly slipping down. I feel myself pulled: if from a part I would want to succeed to feel better, from the other I don't want to forget what has been. So, my mind tries to open the hands and to stop more memories as possible, connecting them to whichever image or situation that alive during the day.
A kiss.
