I've posted an image a day since February 5th but, regrettably, I'm going to have to take a few days off. I'm away from tomorrow until late Thursday evening, and I really don't have anything else worth putting up. There are a few shots in my archive, that I previously decided weren't worth bothering with, that I could put up; but despite the strong urge not to break the image-a-day thing I've decided that posting crap would probably be even more stressful – not least because my next shot is my 200th, and I'd much rather put up something half-decent ;-)

As for this shot: it's taken through the same shower curtain as yesterday's shot and I quite like the distorted, almost painted look. It also struck me that it was a fairly typical chromasia-type shot (semi-abstract, highly saturated, quite contrasty) so it seems like a good one to end on for the time being :-)

Anyway, I might take some reasonable stuff while I'm away (though suspect I wont have a great amount of time) which I can put up at the end of the week, after which – fingers crossed – we'll be moving. At which point though we lose our ADSL connection for seven to ten days, there are a million and one jobs that need doing in the new house, and my life wont be worth living if I skive off to take photographs – so things may continue to be a little sporadic for a week or so. After which, all being well, things will return to normal.

And finally, I got up this morning to find that my entry for the Photo Friday challenge Fashion had been awarded a noteworthy. So many thanks to everyone who voted :-)

I love this shot. . . it has a dreamlike quality to it and I agree, it almost does look like a painting!

Hope the move goes smoothly and the withdrawals aren't too painful (without ASDL for 7-10 days? I can't imagine. . .)

You'll be missed while you're gone. =)

Lovely,
but in the "Chromasia-type shot " i think you have to add another adjective:
poetic

I love really like the distorted look of this.. blue and brown always look nice together. Hows that for a critque? LOL. I just love it.

I really enjoy this shot & the use of the waterdrops...to use another comment it really does add a 'poetic' feel to this photo.

Congrats on Photo Friday - it truly was noteworthy!

Amazing shot! It is really like a painting or a polaroid manipulation kind of image. Cannot believe what you can do with your camera. Just pure visual pleasure (again) :)

hoom, I can't say anything about this.

Beautiful artistic feel to this one. If you have the eye and are in the right place at the right time, you don't need filters! I hope your short time away is pleasant. Like many, I will be looking forward to your return.

Wonderful shot. I love the texture on it

comment by fredrik at 09:20 PM (GMT) on 1 July, 2004

a very nice shot, david. and as you point out, it sort of bears the chromasia trademark:)

comment by Andrea at 02:32 PM (GMT) on 6 July, 2004

Awesome! I like how the image is distorted, but even as such, you can still tell what it is.
