Ball

Florida

This is a beautiful fountain on the grounds of the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida. I was shooting with my ultra wide angle lens at 9mm and I got a lot of distortion on the base of the sculpture, which I was not able to correct in Photoshop without ruining my composition...so I left it as is.


other sizes: small medium large original auto

Oh gosh.....A WINNER! You are so good at these!

Another terrific image, Cindy. I love what the IR does, but
your sense of composition is really quite wonderful. The sky
here really adds drama. The distortion you mentioned not only
doesn't bother me, I think it adds overall interest.

Another nice surreal image, I was trying to guess what colour the ball really is.
I hadn't noticed the distortion until I read your intro.
Perhaps you could crop a little from the bottom, but I don't think it needs it

I really like the interplay of textures and shade, shadow and light.
This is a great shot, Cindy.
I'll bet this presentation is more interesting than the true appearance was when you shot it.
I'd bet using IR requires you to thing an additional step in composing an image; I had not thought of that...

No correction needed... this shot is fine as is. Love the super wide angle view!
