Blinded by the light

This is a highly interesting and arresting (no pun intended!) image Michael. I like the interior of the cell in counter point to the blinding light of the exterior and all the symbolism around that. Nice one. Cool image and message. Without detracting from the image, part of me feels that I would have preferred a smaller aperture for a bigger dof but I also recognise you would have had a longer exposure and harsher light to deal with in the doorway so you probably made the best decision in the circumstances. Six of one and half a dozen of the other!! Great image.

Best wishes

Eugene

NO SUBJECT

This is certainly a compelling visual reason for not becoming a resident. Nice image!

To Eugene!

thx for your comment - you´re right - I have already been on iso800 and just 1/20s - I did not have a tripod with me...

besides that I likeed the sun coming in on the outer window and just had to "tune up" a bit levels to get a stronger feeling I liked to have.
