Very clean and slick! Really like the presentation. The first shot is my fave and it makes for a killer shot all on it's own.

Thank you all for such a +ve response!!!!!!!
For those of you are curious about what this is, see here:http://www.pbase.com/image/83821475. Its the new CocaCola museum in Atlanta and its interior design is all about marketing "happiness" This kind of ART things are all over and directly painted on the walls. I have selected bits and pieces of areas I like from various walls and thought would go well together to make it a triptich. The lighting conditions are typical of any interior of a building.

Speaking of ART, I think is a never ending but healthy discussion. I feel art is everything we do to express our fellings and experiences. Just like the hum of a 16cyl sport car can be "noise" for one but surely "music" for other's ears, art is very interpretive too. I'll leave it at that :)

I would like to say I like this because it is so well photographed. But I'm confused regarding the subject.. is this a trypdich of badly shown art in a gallery or someone's home. IMO, there is no excuse for obscuring art behind stairways or sigs or anything else. You might as well throw it away. Frankly, it is an insult to the artist because it destroys the art. So, Cat, I'm going to be objective and analyze this as you have presented it. I take this as your very well thought out criticism of an insensitive display of art. Someone has placed the art behind the stairways so they can't be seen as intended. It's a cleverly sarcastic piece you have posted, and in that context, yours is very artistic. Theirs is not. Nicely done. -tv

The 2 images with the railings are my favs, especially the one on the right which would make an excellent picture of vividness all by itself! CJ

I like the art here but has it become too much like a picture of art? The nice strong colors should make it a contender either way. -COAmature

That "Guest" was me, Rod.
Guest 10-Aug-2007 22:51
Wow, mate..."if you produce something that everyone likes then you can bet it won't be called ART"

We really need to discuss that, mate. That's not very healthy way to approach things, man.

I went last week. Cool idea.

ART is to be liked & disliked Aamm, if you produce something that everyone likes then you can bet it won't be called ART mate.

Very nice Cat. I like the arrangement and vivid colors. Good job.

AArrrtt man, Art!

Which part of the A/R/T letters that you don't get?

Sorry for being harsh, but I really like Cat's work here.

I'm not too fond of the tryptych but the thing I like about this one is the stair rail tying the thing together. It makes a lovely decorator item but not so much a picy for me.

i like this contemporary decor. very stylish. you did an impressive job with whites on the wall too. i like everything about this shot except the panoramic arrangement. if i have to make a triptych out of these three shots, i would try to keep the portrait (middle one) on the left and two landscapes (circles ones) on top of each other on the right. although this arrangement will look good on a real wall, especially in a hallway. in any case, nice job.

This is beautiful, Cat. Love the composition and the exposure, in all of them.
