Thanks everyone for your comments and votes. I see a lot of people felt I should have rotated this photo. Rotating it would not have made it the photo I laid on the cold wet ground to get. : ) It is not a photo of a pillar from the ground up. It is what the title says. I loved the "math" in this photo and felt it was very much like something Escher would have drawn.. For those that felt the lines were distracting or made you dizzy - they were suppose to. : )
Took me a minute to realize that this picture is turned sideways than how most would normally orient it. Nice use of lines. I think you might want to see how it looks in black and white...just because there isn't much color and taking out that hint of green might put the emphasis more on the lines.
wow -- does some interesting things to leave it as a horizontal like that -- looks like you had a little bit of a problem shooting in a darkishh space on a bright day? I'd like to see the midtones and shadows in this lightened up a little and the highlights toned down. (Hope that's not too Photoshop geek...)
I can see why people might say they get dizzy looking at this picture. It's an odd angle - this takes away the sense of up and down. It definitely suggest UP, but a falling out of a parachute up, if that makes sense. I might have tried to get better lighting for this picture, if that was at all possible, and I might have tried to get the main beam (and the secondary, smaller ones) in better focus, either with manual focus or macro, to see if you could capture more of the nice texture from the picture. I wish you could have brought out the foliage more, and maybe dulled the bleached out section in the lower left hand corner of the picture, maybe cropped the lower-right hand some to bring more attention to the main beam, and somehow brought out the nice colors, too. That's a lot to ask, and I have no idea how I would even hope to accomplish it. This is a very good picture overall, and a very challenging one at that. You deserve a good score for this one.
This is an interesting photograph but I think it would do a much better job of relaying the challenge topic if it was rotated 90 degrees clockwise to give some sense of looking up.
