Iron Lines II


 
BetterPhoto.com Photo Contest Finalist   Iron Lines II
Iron Lines II
A rework of an earlier favorite from Washington National Cathedral; I really like the strong lines formed by these two
wrought iron railings, against the lighter limestone.

And the gentle sunlight and shadows don't hurt the shot either. Gorgeous!

  Thank you all very much. As soon as the building reopens to the public (now delayed at least until 9/4/11) I plan to revisit the areas I've photographed and compare before-and-after, for any earthquake damages. From what I've heard from staff members so far, this particular area was not damaged, and most of the damage is contained to the upper exterior areas. See nationalcathedral dot org for damage photos, news and info.

  Thank you, folks!
RJ, it wasn't meant to be this time around... (I had my fingers crossed, given the sentimentality I feel for all my images of the now-badly-damaged, post-earthquake, pre-Irene cathedral.) But I'm thrilled this one made it to Finalist, as it is a reworked version of an early favorite.

  I'm still catching up on Finalists, Chris...another one of your National Cathedral masterpieces...terrific composition with the curves and lines, light and shadows, stunning in B&W.
Thank you for your comments on my Wolf Trap fireworks image - I was in the DC area with friends who took us to Wolf Trap - not really a photo trip. But next time I go back, I would love to look you up!

  This image appeals to the eye on so many levels, Chris. The lines and the swirls are such a wonderful representation of strength and style!

It's a very professional and classy image in my book.

Great job!
