Theme: Up is just a matter of perspective

[Michael Gerald-Yamasaki]

The McGraw Hill Building. Flipped, rotated. Silver Efex toning/detailing, Topaz Adjust for color.

Thanks for looking.

Cheers,

I love this, Michael...it is really striking! The opposing angles and lines keep me looking. I also love the little line of reflection of the sky and clouds in the structure. Well done.

Oh, this is an eye-stopper. Wow. The lack in symmetry of the clouds and sculpture top-to-bottom in contrast to what appears to be top-to-bottom symmetry of the building (but really isn't) gives a remarkable effect. I had to crop this in half and rotate it to see what you'd started with. Wonderful perspective . . . It would've been a very nice image even without the flipping and rotating. Great job!!!

[Diane Miller]

This is just WAY too cool!!

[Nancy Bell]

Very modern and very edgy. Love the contrast of the soft clouds and the hard man-made edges, plus that the structure is free-floating. The arrow part of the design makes this so dynamic and eye-catching.

[Hazel Grant]

all of the above

Great concept and execution.

I love the metal sculpture-like piece in the middle. The sky on the sides make it look at bit anthromorphic to me. It does seem to ground the image and make it more powerful looking.

Wendy, Dennis, Diane, Nancy, Hazel, Gary Jackie,

Thanks much for your comments. They are greatly appreciated. I was thinking of submitting just the straight shot but it just didn't seem OOTB, then I saw that the metal sculpture would connect on a flip and everything sorta floats there... ah, OOTB ;-).

Cheers,

-Michael-

Hi, Michael, this has a floating in space spaceship look to me. Great job with the flip and concept.

Sorry to have missed this excellent image. Congratulations on winning the contest. Well deserved. I love this! Creative. Fascinating to look at. Strong 3 dimensional look. Outstanding.
