Great shot, JPR! I loved the colors and shapes - should've gotten a higher placement, if you ask me (which of course you didn't, but I'm telling you anyway, for your amusement :-)
there are many elements i love about this; the bold red colours are the first obvious attraction, and then so is the geometry and composition of the shot. it does feel a bit zen to me too; the slightly oriental feel is apparent (maybe it's the communist red and the abstractedness of lines?). i can't decide if the biord actually improves or detracts from the shot, though. still, a grand picture. 9.
Hey. This is pretty cool. Has an abstract feel to it with the geometric lines. I'll bet you were pretty excited to see this develop?! ;^) As for Zen...who knows? Good luck.
This is an interesting photo and one that would have done better (by me) in a different challenge. Those black dots on the surface of the metal object could have been lined up if shot from a different angle. I don't think the bird makes or breaks the shot so if it was lost in the process, no big deal. Red is not really a calming color, but here I don't think it is too bad. The shapes are pleasing and the internal shape created by the intersection of the objects is nice. Line the dots up and you acheived balance. Harmony? Serenity? I'm not sensing that here. Like I said, a really nice photo but something that might have found a better home in a different challenge. 5.
