Two Towels

A study of rectangles and the visual contrast is the towel "stuck" on the wall. Well done! 

You have the best eye for geometry, Jack. I know I've said it before, but it's always true.

I like the concept. Very good image with all the details.

This is Very good work, Jack!

Great light and contrast Jack. I like the towel to the right, momentarily "stuck" on the wall in the shadows.

BR,  Holger

towels choregraphed by Jack's ingenuity, well composed and solidly anchored...

Pure zen

Wow. Your "seeing" is impressive and unique. Doesn't hurt that you have masterful composition skill to support that "eye". Excellent work, Jack

Jack, Two towels make an impressive dance. There is a movement in silence.

 

Fantastic.

 

The detail I love on this one is the shadow on the front towel and how it sorta merges to the wall.

Any other towel wouldn't have worked, somehow your magic is as much seeing as finding these little unique gems. The sun seems a nice warm glow, and yet the colours of the image are muted enough to keep the image intimate, restrained and somewhat introverted.

The detail I really like is how the wall seems to have a similar texture to the towel; obviously it's plastered stong, but there is some sort of 'blending' between the two, somehow.

Two towels from the same town. One was rather ordinary but the other led a checkered past...

 

A visual feast for the eyes; I just recently saw "The Spongebob Movie" in 3D with the boys (yeah, I know), and this image recreates that feeling where you almost feel the towel flap off the page and fall into my lap. 

What is it about this photograph that draws me in so strongly?  I always appreciate your work with found, everyday objects, but there is something special, magical, about this one.  The light and shadow, yes.  The curve of the line, yes.  That helmet-like, or beak-like rock at lower right adds an odd element.  But it's the interplay of the two towels.  The one at right, it's edge against the wall, creates a slight disorienting effect, as if the plane of the wall is the ground and we are looking from an overhead angle.  Then I look back at  the other towel and gravity rights itself again.  I'm not even entirely sure that's it, either.  It's both odd and pleasing and I still can't quite make out why.
