I don't have a great deal to say about this one other than to let you know that it's mostly a straight shot: and if you're not sure what you're looking at, the windows are a reflection in another window, and the colour is caused by an out of focus piece of abstract art behind the window.

Abstract but I like!
Love the reflections.

I like the colors, but I'm a bit unsure about if the reflections are "too much". But I would say that it is something quite different than what you normally would post :)

Well seen,

comment by Craig at 08:27 AM (GMT) on 16 April, 2009

I find it very pleasing with a soft, dream like, quality. I could look at it for quite some time-so I might :)

So let me get this straight... the part in focus is the reflection? Nice job!
I thought it was just an overlay until I read your description.

I like this, a lot. At first I thought you were going to tell us that you have been doing some film double exposures. Its a cool shot, did you get any more?

This is quite an interesting abstraction. I was at a loss till I read some comments :)

Psychedelic :-) A good idea well shot. Amazing creativity here.

Llevo mucho tiempo siguiendo tu trabajo de forma silenciosa y, al final, me he atrevido a comentarte la grata impresión que me produce el conjunto de tu obra.
Creo que eres una de esas personas que ha conseguido definir un estilo propio que hace que, tus imágenes, sean reconocibles entre muchas otras de un sólo vistazo. Tu dominio de las técnicas de procesado es envidiable, pero por encima de todo ello hay una capacidad impresionante de síntesis de la imagen, capaz de ver la foto donde otros sólo vemos objetos anodinos e inanimados. Felicidades por todo ello.
Un saludo desde España y perdón por escribirte en castellano ya que mi dominio del inglés es muy limitado y me impide expresarme con comodidad.

So... it is a window of an abstract piece of...uh... art reflection... on... another window?... not sure I have that right :)

But I am sure that I would not have seen the possibility, and I am glad you did. The soft focus on the edges, and the juxtaposition of the very plain and cold structure with the artwork draws me in to this colorful world.

The layering of many emotions, energies and colour. Love how the eye goes in and out focus as it makes it way through the frame of reflections. Superb feeling of being caught in a dream...

Very strange picture to get your head around. Great spot.

comment by seawitch at 07:09 PM (GMT) on 16 April, 2009

Cool.

comment by Brooks at 02:53 AM (GMT) on 17 April, 2009

Wow. I really really like this. It definitely shows your versatility. I love how there is always a shot, if you know where to look ;)

Fab and I love the new E-card feature.

comment by djn1 at 11:18 AM (GMT) on 17 April, 2009

Thanks everyone.

Rhys: I shot a few more reflection shots, one of which I'll post at some point soon.

Wonderful chewed-up collage of colour: right up my street, Dave :-)

comment by micha at 10:25 AM (GMT) on 19 April, 2009

Love this pic, a real painting!

comment by Rob at 01:45 AM (GMT) on 21 April, 2009

I like this one. Stunning colors and geometry.

comment by Bob Towery at 03:47 PM (GMT) on 15 May, 2009

Very beautiful and creative shot. The leaned back angle really adds to the interest. Well shot!
