When this challenge was announced I am sure water tower ever crossed my mind as a possible subject. If it had, I could not have done nearly as nice a job as this. Bold choice and well executed.
this is a nice dark and foreboding shot, there is a smooth quality to the shot, and I would agree that elegance is a way to describe it. This is definitely a study in how there can be a great deal of space that doesn't need to be filled up with detail.
Elegant - yes, Oliver described this triptych well. One of my favourite of the challenge. How much more interesting, effective and aesthetically appealing, I feel, are those that adhered to the 'detail' aspect rather than trying to go for the grander scene.
Such a classy and refined image. Well spotted and wonderfully conceived to turn the everyday into an elegant piece of art. And perfectly processed for beautiful tones and light.
