Glass and Brick


 
BetterPhoto.com Photo Contest Finalist   Glass and Brick
Glass and Brick
1/30 at f/11; Lens 17-85 f/4; Focal Length 17; ISO 100; Hand Held; Natural Light

While on a photo walk, I came across this building's wall with its mix of glass and brick. When I saw the illumination of the afternoon light, I simply couldn't resist making an exposure.

  I agree with the first comment made by Susana, plus I like it much better without the word/letters. Another fine example of skills, John

  Never saw it with the text, but pretty sure I have seen this in EFP. No matter--I love the ripply glass bricks and the reflections in them. There's so much interesting texture here, John, and the POV is terrific.
