Behind the Sink
Comments:
Without those rays of light coming in from bottom left this composition would not hold together as well as it does. There are also intriguing reflections or submerged items in the 'sink'.
From the late '50s genre of kitchen sink dramas...a new twist?! I disagree with Rex that the bars of light (Star Wars rods) hold this together: having seeing the potential of this scene I think that an interesting composition has come out of it. If anything the bars of light are too bright (cf with light to right) and might have merited a double exposure merged. But all the other bits invite curiosity as to what they are and how they exist in a wider world. The water, the fact that it's clean and its reflected content tell of a space in use.
What an intriguing shot (I could say 'another intriguing shot'). Very difficult to work out the relationship of the parts and the source of the light.
I'm with Rex on the bars of light holding this together.
This could pass for an abstract pencil/graphite work, especially with the all the various angular elements save the circles in the lower right. I like to eliminate that one highlight in the upper right corner, its distracting.
This is great, I would not have seen this isolated in this way.
This could also pass for a photographic euclidean puzzle. Everything in the scene, though at odds, seems to fit together just right. I'm with John on the bars of light - there's more than enough light at play in the sink.
thanks for the comments. My feeling is that the shafts of light keep the bottom left and top right connected and they also chop the other diagonal of plain concrete up. Having said that I like the idea of a double exposure to help me tame them down a touch, while I do not mind bare paper showing through a print a hint of detail woudl not be so bad, hopefully they are not so thin as to look like the paper was slashed.
I found it particluarly funny that I rotated my body 90 degrees for another shot at this and proceeded to also rotate the camera into portrait orientation. A quick 90 degree rotate in lightroom gave me essentially same picture.
Quite a different kind of image and one I likely would not have seen -- an abstract made of very real pieces.
I tend to agree with Rex and Colin on the bars of light issue.
