Untitled

Nick,

This is interesting - the composition has become just a few lines.  I can't help but wonder what a horizontal image would have changed.

I don't know what exactly it is...but I like it.  The lack of colour is quite interesting.

Nick, wonderfully minimalist image - I also am drawn towards a horizontal for this, What was your reason for going vertical?

Jerry, Gregory, Michael... thank you very much for your comments!

First to disperse the mistery, this is a detail of my bath-tub...

Now, my decision to go vertical in this photo was motivated by the feeling that in landscape the composition seams very "heavy" and static.

The difference is like between the fall of a stone and a leaf. Here your gaze starts from the upper empty part and descends gently to the right and then to the left finaly settling gently at the bottom. If you turn the photo clock-wise (or v/v) your gaze just falls heavily from the top to the bottom taking away all interest from the empty areas.

I do have various other crops of this same motif and will post some tonight so you are very welcome to compare them to this version.

Thanks once again...

Cheers, Nick
