Simplicity and form . . .
the shadows that are cast adding the criss-cross pattern added another dimension to this. This is such a well thought out composition! #838657

And the circle gets the sqaure!
It's perfectly balanced and has very pleasing colors. #5391561

Love the composition, colors, geometrical forms, lines and shapes! One probably need that Martini after (or before?) trying to follow the theoretical information though...:-) #5391690

John Caruso 1/25/2008 7:12:26 AM

It's a winner on all accounts, Chris! The colors are just great, and the comp, although appearing simple and straight forward, is in actuality quite complex and sophisticated. Great work! #5391796

Jillian Danielson 1/25/2008 7:23:09 AM

wow! that's so cool Chris! Love it! #5391851

Michelle L. Frick 1/25/2008 7:56:44 AM

Description

EF100mm, f/8, .8 Second, -1/3ev, RAW, ISO100, tripod, light tent.
A discussion on square crops got me into a geometric frame of mind, recalling the forms of architecture
built around a shared measurement. This composition came out of that; loosely, a circle of radius X, set in a square
field 3X by 3X, above a rectangle of 1X by 3X. It is actually the bowl of a martini glass (viewed into the bowl)
on the blue drape of the tent, the drape's edge ending on the tabletop where the spotlights cast shadows and light.
01-08 Finalist, Catchall

Exif: F Number: 8, Exposure Bias Value: -0.33, ExposureTime: 8/10 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 100, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 100.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL XTi
