Theme: Grunge Me

[Michael Gerald-Yamasaki]

Greetings. A selfie taken under Chicago's Cloud Gate Sculpture by Anish Kapoor.



Topaz Adjust - HDR Heavy Pop Grunge, NR, SEP for tone/luminosity blend and then hit it again HDR Heavy Pop Grunge, Free Transform (to get more of the stroller). The texture is all surface, well, grunge on the polished "stainless" steel.

Thanks for looking.

Cheers,

-Michael-

Hi, Michael It's always nice to put a face with a name! Cool image - I like the steps you took to get there.

Michael, a creative selfy nicely executed.

I love the "Bean", such a great place for photography. Nice job on setting up the reflection.

Cheryl, Paul, Gary, Kerry,

Thanks much for the comments. Much appreciated.

Cheryl, Been intending on putting up an avatar for years... I guess this will do (I mean how unflattering can a 100x100 pixel image be? ;-)

Kerry, Yeah, the "Bean" was quite fun to shoot. The rest of Millennium Park in Chicago had many other photogenic sites. Maybe I'll work up one or two more to post.

Cheers,

-Michael-

Great perspective. The different elements in this composition asks questions of the viewer. Intriguing.

What a fun photo! Creative. Well done. I like the slight tilt of the "horizon" line, the line starting with you, and the stroller. Colorful. The wide angle lens (I'm assuming) created an interesting effect.
