    Default OFF THE WALL

    I went to the downtown Arts Festival yesterday with a friend and this was in the window of the local gay bar which is quite an institution in Gainesville - the University Club -where everyone goes to dance to the best dance music in town. I didn't do much, about a 10% poster edge and a little tonal contrast. I know it's weird but I seem to be in that kind of mood lately

    I like the variability in this. The rows of discs aren't parallel, and their reflections are very different in many cases. That builds interest -- for me, anyway. I don't know what it says about the kind of mind I'm in, but I layered Jackie's rectangles over this and played with blend modes. A couple of them sort of worked.

    I like this a lot Cheryl. the repetitive patterns, the reflections are all a little different, and I find the whole image mesmerizing.

    Cool! I really like the repetition of the discs, but with lots of minor variations of shininess and reflected colors. I especially like the "eyes" (centers) peering out from behind. Cheryl, not "weird", just willing to see more and experiment more! Don't stop!

    Fantastic. Great shot. The addition of poster edge probably made each circle just a bit more defined. I like the small variation in tone created by the light. Like this one a lot.
    There have been some really out of the box images lately!
