Tree Silhouettes

double reflection . .

This one is a bit of a visual overload for me. When I try to explore the tree reflections, I am distracted by the red lines and vice versa.

I like it Carl, or course in the past I had a major fascination with sensory overload. I think the diagonal lines work well with the horizontal. Definitely unique.

Nicely done. Abstract representation of the coverngence of design, photography, and technology. Regards, Howard

John, Anthony, and Howard - thanks for your observations. I've tried to 'see' this composition in several earlier visits, but the light or my camera postion weren't right. What I see is the brightest areas of both the red lines and the sky are positioned away from the edges. If you glance at the thumbnail, see if you don't read a balance between the two bright red areas and the group of three trees lower right. Perhaps that could be emphasized a bit more by making the sky lighter.

Carl, very nice, and I really appreciate what you've done with this, but don't quite understand the source of the red diagonals. I assume they're from another similar building, but wouldn't the tree reflections be "on top" of them? Do you know what I mean? Can you explain please?

Check out the other images in the folder. Think of this one as a two rail bank shot. :-)

Gotcha - It's interesting to read the comments here and on others about the simplicity of some, and the overload of this one. I really like this one because of it, and also 1888013 for the simplicity. Can't believe I haven't seen this folder before now. Nice work.

thanks to these i now have my own mental list of local office windows i wish to shoot. its quite a distraction while driving when you spot one!

 

this one is especially good due to the strange colour combinataions and distorted refelctions, that red line just adds that extra intregue - super find,very well captured carl.

A couple suggestions . . . look for buildings that have an unobstructed view of the rising and/or setting sun. . . and bring your telezoom (300mm minimum) and tripod.

i'll keep that in mind carl - thanks!

It's been at least 2 years since I have seen your photos... They stand the test of time.

I have not been to Photo.net for 12 years and I remembered you
