Very nice and colorful abstract, Damian. I especially like the bright lilac color on the left edge :0) Seriously great rainbow effect!! #34247Damian P. Gadal May 26, 2019
Thanks Murry! Just so you know, this wasn't some Psychedelic creation of mine.... This really is called the Chromatic Gate, which I don't really care for, and which is very difficult to photograph, especially under harsh lighting conditions... But the city built it, and they did come... #94361Patricia Marroquin May 26, 2019
Very cool, Damian. I love Chromatic Gate (2) as well. Is this some sort of sculpture that's outdoors? #94377Conrad L. Conero May 26, 2019
The original's super, Damian. Looks like a prize winner to me.Elizabeth A. Zibas May 26, 2019

I like both of these very much and keep flipping from one to the another. I love the first, I think that the second may be better but I can't figure it out right now. I love them both for different reasons. The second might be better because it is more striking at first glance. #94456Donna R. Moratelli May 26, 2019
I have definatly come to a decision... Post Chromatic 2 in the contest also!!!Please... It looks like a winner to me... #94459Damian P. Gadal May 26, 2019
Thanks Cheryl and Donna!Donna, I sent you a note on how to contact me at work! #94461

Thanks Joy! :-) #94570Dolores Neilson May 26, 2019
I think this absolutely superb, Damian!! Well composed and beautifully colored!! ATTA go! #94605Damian P. Gadal May 26, 2019
Thanks Dolores! Though I didn't have anything to do with the colouring! :-) #94608Robert Mann May 26, 2019
Wow, Damian! The colors are striking in either and I really agree most with Donna Rae: You should post both! I like the deepness of the color and the shadows and composition of the first, but the second just smacks you between the eyes with the color! Both are marvelous! RoB #94613Damian P. Gadal May 26, 2019
Thank you RoB! I've certainly been surprised by the response I've gotten from these two images... I hadn't even planned on posting them, let alone taking them, but I needed a couple of shots of local landmarks to use on the cover of a Financial Report I've been working on and trudged on over and took these yesterday morning before... Just goes to show, you never know....I get the feeling the cover of the report is about the only thing anyone is going to pay attention to... but, hey, California doesn't know how to budget or have any money, so, maybe something to cheer folks up isn't so bad after all! :-) #94620
