Field*

This is a shot at glass doors at the entrance of a building. The doors were reflecting the narrow hallway. The hallway and most of the building were decorated with mosaic panels. Mosaic was made from pieces of mirrors, colored glass, bottles and small figures.
Behind the first glass doors there was another set of doors and also some other glass surfaces. The image shows multiple reflections from these glass surfaces. Mirror pieces also contribute to the reflections.

The reflecting dark glass washed most of the color and features from the mosaic (which was quite abstract to begin with) so only the outlines and basic shapes remained. If you look at some distance there are only two parts of the image- one darker and one lighter. There are no known objects and the interpretation is left to the viewer. In this one I liked the interaction of multiple reflections and the resulting overlapping shapes. To me the image looks like a rocky field at the beginning of an icy mountain. Or a rocky hill and a sky above it… --Roumen

This image doesn't quite work for me. Maybe it's the randomness of the reflections, or the muted colors, but I think it's too jumbled. There isn't a focal point or a hint as to what I'm seeing. I don't mean to be overly critical - it's an interesting photo - just trying to figure it out. - bee1000

Interesting abstract! What is most amazing is that this effect is naturally occuring - and not a result of playing around in photoshop! Good eye catching this! --Olaf
