Compelled me emotionally first time I saw this. I was truly captivated by the simplicity of your model and then by how it drew me into the shadows. Speaks volumes. Great job!
I love this image, but either you made a huge (in my mind) technical mistake, or I'm missing the point:
The shadows being present signify that even though they are gone, they are still in our hearts and minds, and cannot be removed which is signified by the beacon.
Very cool, but should their be shadows of the twin towers in the foreground? Seems like a significant mistake.
Thanks for everyone’s support. I am glad that you all like the photo. I just hope that lightening strikes again giving me a creative idea, so I can put up another successful shot.
Excellently creative shot - has to be one of those blinding flash of inspiration moments, huh? My only gripe would be about the reflections from the table causing the secondary shadows, but it doesn't seem to have hurt your score too much.
Congratulations on your first ribbon and very well deserved. I have had some real excitement showing this image to other friends. Super idea and beautifully executed. Thanks!!
what a great idea and tribute. Like to see you redo it with studio set up. Something under the buildings other that a table, etc. I think that would give it much more impact. Like the laser light...nice touch
Wonderful photo and clever idea. The laser pointer is a very nice touch. Seem a bit off compositionally but I can see how you you were trying to include the shadows of the sky line on the left. - 8
Clever and sad. I wouldn't have thought that outside the box and I love it. There's only one detail and it doesn't necessarily bother me so much as it is just there. I can see reflections of the red point on the other "buildings". Over all, impressive shot.
outstanding! i love this! It looks like it was fun to set up. I've shown it to everyone in my office already, and I've been looking at pictures to see if it's as accurate as I think it is. just wonderful.
It takes a second look to realize that this "cityscape" is really nothing but staples. This would be an interesting shot even without the red light at the top, but it is intriguing. How do you do that?
Excellent image. Took me a minute to realize that the buildings were staples. I actually looked at this image skipped to the next one and then was like, wait a minute. I went back and then saw that it was the twin towers but they weren't with the main part of the city. I think the only reason it eventually caught my attention was the red light. I like the composition and both the shadows and the reflections really add to the image. It is a very different but pleasing way to show tribute to 9/11. Nice work.
OOOOooooh my gosh what a clever, unique idea. Staples right?!!! Outstanding. Must of take a long time to set up. Great going. The laser light is such a good touch.
WOW. I am in awe!
