Oh dear... I never considered the fact that some might think I was trying to say that Langdon lives 'in a bubble'.

The reason the thought never came to me is that.. .well, for one... I rarely HAVE a thought... *grin* and for two... it's not a bubble, but a water globe.

I had this for my Never Seen shot:



But, it just seemed so... ummm.... 'flat' to me, with the stickers and such. So, even though I worked FOREVER on the scene and the shooting of it, I just couldn't enter it, especially after hearing that this challenge was to FINALLY be the first challenge for the FINAL round of the Head-To-Head Faceoff with AndrewT. He's such a good photographer, that I knew I would lose the round, but didn't want to go down with out a semblance of a fight, at least. :0)

So, I put the "warehouse" scene on my computer and shot it through the waterglobe... that wasn't right either... so I shot the shot of the shot of the 'warehouse' shot. That wasn't quite right either, so I shot the shot of the shot of the shot of the warehouse scene...

You get the idea.

Anyway, that's my story. No offense, Langdon. I wanted to honor you... I think you have a great place for photographers to learn and play here.

Thanks bunches!

I thought this was quite intriguing! I liked that you did this in black and white. Although, now that I have seen your other one, you shoulda gone for broke just to see how that one would have done. Both shots are very creative!

What a fun photograph. The reflections give a lot of depth, giving the sense of the man behind the curtain...the Wizard of Oz.

There is so much detail in this photo. So many different reflections to pick out. I'm curious what is causing the distortion. Almost looks like a bubble.

This is very cool. The diagonal reflection of windows is what really makes this a winner for me.

comment only, not voting.
IMHO I reckon this is one of few images that a) meet the challenge and b) is of an above average quality. I think I'm getting the link with Langdon (has anybody ever seen him) and whilst there are a couple of blown areas and the overall image is a little 'busy' the longer I look at it the more I like it (almost 1984). Good luck!

It looks like the close-up of HAL in 2001. Interesting trying to figure out what everything is. I like how the camera is camouflaged.
