    Corrugated

    Something quite a bit different from my recent desert landscape shots...I would love to get your thoughts on and impressions of this image.

    I am generally not a fan of symmetry, Shane, but I am attracted to this.

    I think you did very well to see the opportunity in this scene and you have executed the concept very well. If it were mine, I might have tried to conceal the join in pp.

    Nice. I expect the lines to blur the more you stare.

    I thought it was the back of my husband's favourite shirt until Greg mentioned PP-ing the joint. Good study of lines. Very simple...

    Re: Corrugated

    Thank you Greg, John, Izzie and Mike. Here is the image that I started with...in color... do you like it better as a stand alone image? Color or black & white?

    Corrugated

    Greg, fist comment out of the box and you caught on to what I did...not sure how or why the idea came into my head but I gave it a try and I liked the result I didn't remove the join as I thought that it made a more realistic looking corner with the shadow left as is. My thinking was that this would look really cool big on a wall and would give a 3D impression of looking beyond the wall.

    Definitely the stand-alone version. Great eye for seeing it! I waffle back and forth between the color and monochrome versions of it. The color is so unique I would probably end up choosing it if I had to make a decision.

    I think the stand-alone version is much more interesting, Shane. The coloured stripes emphasise the vertical lines and break up the 'monotony' (for want of a better word) of the pattern.

    Hi Shane,

    I don't know very much about abstract images but I prefer the 1st image (B&W) because it is very compelling to view and it keeps me looking at it trying to figure out what it is. Although I can see stunning detail in the 2nd image, I find the first image more intriguing and I just think the image is prettier in b&w.

    Thank you Mike, Greg & Christina. I have to admit that the side of this building just jumped out at me as I was wandering about. Interestingly it is a very modern building located in Old Town Scottsdale which is more well know for Western themed saloons, buildings and shops...go figure?

    I guess my gut is right once in a while about an image I still want to see how the first looks printed though as I like the 3D quality of the symmetrical composition.

    I really like these, both of them! I find them compelling; meaning I just keep staring and finding interesting things. I can't choose a preference between the two. The geometry of the first keeps me involved; the relationships of the shades of color dominate my eye in the second. Nice work Shane!

    Very nice job, the first processing is the one for me as well, sometimes the simple things are often the best.

    Thank you Andrew and Kay. I do want to explore more architectural shots and your kind words (and those of others) are just the encouragement that I need
