1st: Pool Too
inframan

I like the way the floats at the bottom of the frame make this look like a theater.

I had the same reaction when first seeing this one, thinking the objects at the bottom were heads in a theater. Not sure which version of this I like better, maybe this one just a bit because I like 2-dimensional type perspectives, but the impression I get from either is the same. Cool shot! :)

Intriguing shot! Love the perspective and the boat is the icing on top. The set up could also be interesting for some hdr, though the result would be completely different.

Very interesting to me. I love the sailboat. Makes me feel like the outside world is creeping inside, like the surface of the sailing sea is in the pool as well. Nifty.

I cloned out the stripe, thanks for pointing it out. Personally I prefer the ominousness suggested by the dark space over the windows over simple symmetry so didn't crop that part out.

Part of the problem I have with handling the light in this ( & similar) image is that PBase changes the tonal values on me & highlights the wall more than my actual PS version. :(

I prefer this version: I think the symmetry has a much greater impact than the perspective view. A great find and capture. The simple forms give a very strong appearance. The signs of the "outside" is a perfect touch in the closed space. I would consider to crop out the stripe from the top, it would make the symmetry stronger and it does not take away anything from the picture Cheers, MCsaba
