Challenge: Best of 2018 (Standard Editing)
Collection: Portfolio
Camera: Apple iPhone 5s
Location: Portland, Oregon
Date: Apr 5, 2018
Aperture: 2.2
ISO: 40
Shutter: 1/120
Date Uploaded: Feb 8, 2019

 In an urban shopping center, the atrium fountain three levels lower down appeared somewhat ominous. I half expected to see a creature from another dimension emerge at any minute. I paused waiting for a shot not overrun with lots of people, and settled for showing just three. Funny that one of them was taking a phone picture which is what i was doing. Perhaps because it is easy to wonder about the stories associated with each person, all too far away to actually meet, I find myself looking at this image longer and deeper than many of my more conventional "best" of 2018.

Rotate, crop, curves, b/w conversion, threshold adjustment applied outside of the inner triangle.

i dont exactly know why this appeals to me so much ..
i spose its the fact that not everything is immediately obvious .. and some things not at all .. loving the high key and contrast .. and the black and white ..
whatever is going on here is so incredibly appealing .. and the more i write the more becomes revealed as i look up at this image .. from a great almost abstract it has actually become emotive ..
