Into The Blue


 

BetterPhoto.com Editor's Pick  
Into The Blue
Into The Blue
The interior of a tall, wrapped-wire, floor-standing 'vase' in a hotel lobby. They were interesting as sculptural shapes, and I wondered what the
inside looked like. They're about 60" tall, so I couldn't easily aim over the edge to the interior. I tried a few blind shots, holding my camera above
the opening, pointing down the throat of the vase. The metal wires are sort of dull silver; I added the blue tint. A full-view is in the discussion thread.

  These are both very cool, Chris. I love the result of your blue version but what pretty lines and textures the black and white has, too. Nicely seen (or unseen as the case may be).

  Talk about Relentless Pursuit!!! (Yes, I'm still looking for stories for the blog)...

I agree completely with Nikki. She is so eloquently insightful.

  What an awesome and creative capture your "Into The Blue" image is! I love the off center composition, the lines, and the blue tint. Thanks for including the full view of the vase for us to see. Really well done, Chris!

  Hehehe... Thank you very much, Ellen!
I don't know what prompted me to look inside, myself... but I'm glad I did. I have another similar view, slightly different angle, rendered in a vivid green, that I'll post next month, probably.
