Dome

Nicely composed. Was it a planned shot, or a spontaneous moment?

Simply an opportunity seized. Thanks for stopping by. Best, LM

Perfect symmetry, Len. I have trouble with taking shots requiring steady hands; somehow the shutter press always skews the camera by a degree or two.

OK! Busted! Gotta 'fess up that I too was stricken by the 'off level' syndrome you speak of. I had to reorient this one in PS making the vertical line in the center true. But that's what PS is for isn't it? Thanks for jumping in here and keeping me honest. Best, LM.

Oh, definitely nothing wrong with PS on these little things, Len. In fact, the business of camera-shift on shutter-press is something I concluded that there is nothing I can do to overcome - except with a cabled remote which my little Sony P/S has.

 

By the way, I see a ghostly figure wearing a cloak in the bottom-right square, and another near the left-center quadrant. Subliminal suggestions? or maybe I'm still hung-over from Halloween?

'Ghostly figure' is probably and internal reflection. The dome is directly over the shiny escalator. Either that, or simply a pane with a lot of winter dirt on it. Visit often. Best, LM.

The iron spider! nice composition. compliments -koushik

Iron Spider! I like that comparison. Thanks for taking the time to visit & comment. Best, LM.

I like the way you have cropped it ( means composed...)Nice construction. The 3D is felt ! ( There are some dust specks that needs attention...;-)) Well spring is on its way soon the blue sky will be seen here...

Thanks for your thoughts. "...dust specks..." ? Probably bird poo! And I don't do windows. :-) But thanks for the thought. If I decide to print this I'll let Photoshop do the dirty work. Best, LM.

Agree with the above comment on symmetry. Your observance of symmetric composition makes this photo work. The LL corner can still be drawn a wee bit down, but this is nitpicking :-)

Always a pleasure to have you visit. The minor 'nit' in the LL corner is offset by the minor 'nit' you missed in the LR corner (wires). A fanatic would clone them out and, if I ever print it, I'll probably do just that. Thanks for your participation. Best, LM.

Cool.

Thanks for stopping by. Always nice to hear your views. Best, LM.

Great pattern study Len! You and I have to get together again soon for a shoot so you can inspire me to find those not-so-obvious scenes that you always find. One way to get away from any shutter pull might be to set the 2 second timer and let it shoot on its own.Not that I noticed it, I'm just following the thread discussion.

Later,

Good to hear from you again. Guess I can recall the posse now that you've been found. An outing? I'm always up for that! Just give me as much heads-up time as you can. The two second timer to avoid shutter pull is a technique I often use except, this time, I had no option but to hand holding the camera. Thanks for your input. Best, LM.

Your comments\critiques on this 'grab shot' will be gratefully received.

Best, LM.

Outstanding!!!

Thanks for stopping by. I see from a quick glance at your folder that this type of scene has an appeal for you as well since you have a fine example of it there. Easy to take but very effective! Check out this one by Bengt Ekelberg http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=8766471 Best, LM.

The naked umbrella always do a good abstract.

Just killing time in the local shopping mall & happened to look up.  Had a camera with me.  Thought it worth a frame.  The rest was a natural reaction.  Best, LM.
