Airport perspectives

[Cheryl Slechta]

I took this in Jacksonville airport while I was waiting for a plane. I shot it with my iPhone and used Topaz Clean which really didn't do much. I liked the fact that at first glance it could just be a guy walking until you notice the much smaller person at the bottom which then gives puts everything into perspective If I had cropped from the bottom and eliminated the runway and the guy you couldn't tell.
This will be a fun theme

Very unusual perspective, Cheryl! I would try to make the small person's face a little more obvious. Even after reading your description, I had difficulty finding him.

very interesting indeed, I can't tell what I'm looking at.... is the large man some type of reflection??

Love the colors and lines of the architecture. Good capture with an Iphone.

Is this a composite or SOC Cheryl? Regardless it is like the circus mirrors where one person becomes very big and the other small. Christopher make a good point about emphasizing the smaller figure. But on the whole I love it!

Thanks, Christopher, Linz and Jackie. It's straight out of my iPhone Jackie. I think leaving the person kind of obscure adds to the puzzle

Cheryl, I have spent much too much time analyzing the image. This appears to be a reflection. I would love to know where all persons involved were located relative to each other. Cool image well seen.

Cheryl,

Greetings. This reminds me of a photograph (Barbara Morgan, Spring on Madison Square, 1938) in Szarkowski's Looking At Photographs, 100 Pictures from the Collection of The Museum of Modern Art. It is very different but there is a quality here that brings Morgan's photo to mind. Anyway, your image is very captivating. Good show!

Cheers,

-Michael-

Thanks, Gary and Michael. Gary, it looked pretty much like it does in the image. Large graphic on the glass overlooking the tarmac. The little guy was normal size standing in front of the window. I didn't have much time to analyze it up close and I was pretty far away. The next time I'm there I'll check it out more carefully. (Hopefully it'll still be there). I couldn't remember which airport until I looked at the map he was holding Michael, I'll have to look that up. I'm glad you liked it. I was amazed at the quality from the iPhone - it's why I bought the thing and then I never think to use it so I'm glad I did.

Very creative folks in Jacksonville. Thanks for the follow up.
