ORDER IN CHAOS

Mind blowing complicated! Great shot. B&W of course the only choice for a shot like this!!

It's amazing how something so complicated was made to work, Daniel. I love how the contrast between light and dark changes the depth and structure of the image. Excellent presentation and composition. Very imposing. Best regards, Paul.

Daniel...Knitted like a spider web!Great scene and of course,B/W was the way to go!Bon oeil et superbe image,mon ami!Salutations-Laurent

o a very appropriate title for this beautiful image , the B & W works well here, ciao Giangiorgio

Cher Laurent: Comme toujours, vos commentaires me remontent le moral et ne sont jamais pris pour acquis. Je prends lentement chaque mot et je vous remercie de regarder avec bonté certaines de mes photos. Sincere thanks and sincerely, my best wishes. DG

Hello Paul: Thank you so very much for your kind comment. You are right. There are some scenes or circumstances where, while composing the shot, I already "know" it will go the BW drawer for later processing. Again, sincere thanks, Kind regards. DG

Nice one Daniel. Great capture.

Hi Daniel,

 

a very appealing composition, set in high-contrast. I understand why you chose a higher contrast than you would normally, i.e. to underline the graphic quality of all the tracks and wires; the image has turned into a pure B & W. That makes it a rather graphical work of art rather than a photo in my book, but that is a mere determination. I like it! Kind regards, Vincent

Great shot. Daniel. Looks like the tracks of the lost souls in Dante's Inferno.

Hmmm, Daniel, some of these tracks look like strands of spaghetti. This - my first impression of the image - gave me quite an appetite for it. Presumably, the designers and fabricators of these tracks had little imagination, for I doubt they would have thought that they created some degree(s) of chaos. Chaos at its worst can be devastatingly harmful, but - as is the case with this image - at its best it is food for thought, food for feeling, and transportation for the soul to a destination that is unknowable. On a technical note, although this may be a matter concerning different monitors, I must slightly disagree with Vincent. Although the jet blacks and bright whites clearly furnish bold contrast, I see areas of tonality that are neither. - - My best always, michael (favorited)

Hello kind gentlemen. I am addressing each of you but in the interest of practicality and efficiency, I am referring to your names in each of the kind comments you all have made. A curious observation is that this image has had the appeal only to the male gender....as kids I guess we all liked trains....and as grownups, they still make an interesting engineering / mechanical subject - at least for me. Besides, trains and tracks have a special appeal to all genders, and there are many great photos in PN. Thank you very much for each of your comments. My best personal regards - individually - to each one of you. DG
