Thanks for all the great comments! The photo is the underside of the portico at the ING building in downtown Minneapolis. It was taken at night. The "vertical lines" are the columns holding the roof up (the photo is flipped upside down). The building is not really green, this was a product of the inability of the auto white balance on my camera to deal with the bright lights on the underside of the roof. I decided I liked the green, and even increased it some in post-processing.
Very cool! I would guess that the image is upside down (which I like!) and it makes the pillars almost look like they are being stretched out from the base (top). Great!
This clearly meets and even exceeds the goal of the challenge! The perspective fools the viewer into thinking seeing something quite abstract and surreal. The lighting also works very well to reinforce this illusion and add dimension. The lines and repetition suggest continuation and perhaps a larger object than what really exists. (10)
