Photograph Information Photographer's Comments
Challenge: Red II (Basic Editing)
Camera: Nikon D70
Lens: Tokina AF 12-24mm f/4.0 AT-X Pro DX
Location: Marin Headlands (Northern California)
Date: Mar 4, 2007
Aperture: f4
ISO: 250
Shutter: 1/8
Galleries: Abstract, Textures
Date Uploaded: Mar 6, 2007

 The inside walls of an old bunker in Marin Headlands near the Golden Gate Bridge. The walls were all weathered and stained red. I tried to compose the top, back, and left walls to make the image more sectional. The composition reminded me of Mark Rothko's paintings, thus the title. I hope some people enjoy it. I have a feeling it will be too abstract and not flashy enough to get a good score. I hope the voters prove me wrong.

Very primal and visceral. Makes me want to check my body for gaping wounds. Nice abstract with strong emotional impact.

very abstract, and gothic, for the arts this works well...

Cool. I especially like the ambiguous perspective: is it an inside or outside corner.

Nice texture to this image but the subject matter doesn't much to hold the viewer's attention.
