I know this subject is not for everybody, but I am really quite drawn to it now. It is fun to find these kinds of images..and seeing if what I saw in my head translates through the camera. :)

Unique to say the least, I like these in B&W and find them both interesting.

I am assuming that the first is a shot of curved metal spillways on some form of concrete water feature.

If you don't mind, a thought on this one - the comp shows very strong symmetry that is slightly lessened by the partially cut off spillway in the right of the image. Just wondering if a slight cropping would re-inforce the strong feel or do nada.

Thanks EdG...I was sort of wondering that myself. My thought was that I didn't want to make it appear too symmetrical....hence the keeping the cut off part in. Here is a re-cropped version...any stronger?
IMO, it does not make too much difference.:)
PS...I want to go back and re-shoot shot 2. I am not happy with the cut off part on the right side, but I was in a hurry as it started raining and snowing so I didn't really have time to put much planning in the shot. I just wanted to see if it had any eye appeal to me more than anything. :)

I think it does help in a small way to reinforce the symmetry by removing a small detail that was distracting - at least to my eye. Cheers!

Cool Casil. I do like the more symmetrical version.

Thanks a bunch gang. :)
Went out for a quick walk when I needed a study break...ran a few errands downtown and grabbed a shot of the glass ceiling at the mall downtown....funny made me dizzy tring to get this ine as I was looking shooting vertical with my neck tilted back....I still have a smidge of vertigo remaining sometimes which rears its angry head every now and again if I move my head too fast...had to sit down for a second after taking this. :headslap:

On the first one, I rather like the asymmetry.
