SEEING RED

Eldorado Hotel Casino

very interesting work congrat..

David, i didn't figure you to be the red-light district type...is that the true color, or was this some fine PS trick. either way, very cool image!

Beautiful Dave. I like it very much.

this reminds of a film scene in a very dark movie. It gives a great atmosphere and that's why I like it.

I aggree with Ton. Very nice Image. Thanks for looking and rating my photo...John

Hey, I have nothing against red light districts. The saturations have been boosted and in some case lowered selectively, but otherwise it is pretty "straight." Neon lighting offers endless possibilities for images.

Thank you all very much for taking a look and leaving a comment.

 

Ton, it's doubly nice to hear from you, as you have not been around much lately. I'm also pleased that you would like such a strongly colored image.

I like this shot alot. Very pleasing to the eye. Marjorie

Thanks a lot. Greatly appreciated.

That's a lovely hard red vertical on the left and together with the horizontal slats revealing the reflected building beyond seems almost like a film strip or child's flip book where the pages are flipped quickly and the image gives the illusion of animation. It didn't interest me so much in the thumbnail but I responded instinctively to the full size image; it seems to correspond to an internal archetype, in some way tied up with the Japanese art of ukiyo-e which has spawned the modern manga, the stories are for shit (the manga not the ukiyo-e) but the art work is dynamic and the artists are past masters at representing action and depth in a 2-D form.. I'm sure by now you're thoroughly confused by this comment; I'm not quite sure what I want to say, either, so I just let it roll out and see what it sounds like in the light of day. It's sort of an internal dialogue I have with myself and this picture has served to dislodge another chunk.

Well, I'll hope and prey (yes, I said "prey. :( ) that it does not end up lodged in some vital organ doing great bodily harm.

 

Really, thanks for the fascinating information. You have caused me to know something I surely never would have without you.

It could to be a modern abstract painting, Regards. Giovanni

Thank you very much. I've been enjoying your work a lot.

This has a voyeuristic feel, made complete by the red. I think of the high-tech thrillers from the 80's. One building spying on another.

Interesting thought. In this day and age, I guess it is quite likely that one building is spying on another, what with cameras everywhere. I'd bet quite a sum that a camera recorded me taking this image. Heaven forbid that something should happen to the building. Surely I'd be a suspect first degree.

Interesting work here, David. Like the reflections and lines. I think this would make a pretty interesting B&W image as well.

You might be right. It's hard for me to think of it as a black and white because of the dominant red color. But thinking outside the box is always good, and I think that is a bit outside of the box (mine anyway).

I like this very much, David. The red color is so glowing it almost looks unreal. Great horizontal pattern and reflection, as though we were the characters of a sci-fi movie looking on some future city outside through a venitian store.
