This was one of my hate it or love it attempts at a more creative look and was pleasantly surprised at the 3-D feel to it.
Never figured it to do fairly well though.
Thanks all.
Striking stuff. I love the high contrast work on the wire, and the tonality overall, though I'm no fan of the scne behind - it has a pencil sketched quality, that I think works rather to remove any sense of the photographic from the image. It could of course be for all sorts of reasons, but the final effect of it takes it too far from having a sense of the 'real'. It's clearly the work of someone with expertise though.
I haven´t seen many shots like this before, I both love it and hate it and it´s very wierd for me because normally I only feel one of those feelings towards a shot and normally neither as most shots I see on this site just seem to cruise in between.
The chain linked fence really irritates me and I keep trying to look past it at what´s beyond it but I can´t but at the same time if the chain linked fence wasn´t there this shot wouldn´t work at all so I can´t explain it. Let´s just say that I love to hate this shot and I mean that in the best way, it´s awesome!
Edit: I have come back too it three times now and it really strikes me more and more each time I see it. I love the monotone blue in it and the shape behind it and the post processing is awesome. I gave it a 10 and just added it to my favorites. Hope yo do well in this challenge.
