PennyStreet, like your Abstract Reflections, was this in NY that's where you see many water towers, not familar with Jersey cities.-Stan

I think you have done it again Penny, this is another picy of yours that seems to grow in stature over the topic time.

Fascinating Penny. With a shot like this you might want to a least start thinking up another topic. A reflection right? -Doug

You are becoming an expert on the subject, aren't you Penny. Really nice composition and light.

This works wonders playing with reality and almost cinematic in its dramatic scope and color. -tv

thanks. I have actually taken many many pictures at this spot but usually it's too bright to get a good one. I guess I lucked out this time. Glad you like it.

This is terrific Penny! It looks like a reflection of a reflection and your best one ever! Love the colors in this too besides all the great lines. CJ

Wonderful Penny, now this seems really abstract. The color does look special here- how the heck did you get the shapes to distort this wonderful way? I'm looking for signs of a curved window or something and am totally puzzled. Nicely done!

Really, really cool, Penny. Really. ~Lydia

Bleeding L this is your finest moment I reckon. Every curve & line seems to be in the exact right place, even the cooling tower set against the sky seems integral to the picy. What turns this awesome picy into a magnificent picy is the lighting. I said before about every curve & line fitting together just perfectly, well the superb light fits over the the whole scene like a translucent glove.
You have a great eye for these types of picys but I think now you have found the perfect partner to your seeing & that is the beautiful early or late lighting.
I'm amazed someone so young can produce a picy like this. I think this picy is worth a marriage proposal.......................Sorry Carole I want a divorce:-)

Oh, Penney. I Love this one. What a great abstract. This would be great to hang in a museum. The wavy curves and angles and everything is fantastic.
