I've never seen a panel of meters like this, so interesting and using the golden hour light was brilliant.

Kathy, great shot and title! In the demo you have removed both inner frames, which IMHO was only neccessary for the inner-inner frame. Startting discussion on frames is always a mine filed, but I would rather give it a try of changing the color of the (white) outer frame to a dark color, maybe picked up from the image itself (dark grey/blue). For me the white is too much shiny and dominates to much. Even a complete black frame, including the orange line would be good. :-)

Thanks, everyone for the comments and input! I appreciate the very kind words. I have posted a version without the inner frame in the Demo folder. Thanks, again!

oh by the way, the title... Brilliant!

Very well-seen, Kathy, and in excellent lighting... love it! I hate to say it but I do agree with some of the other comments that the inner frame-lines are distracting, if they were a little more closely-gapped from the outer lines it would probably look great. The photo though has so much going for it that the lines can just as easily be overlooked, they're not the first (or even second) thing that my eyes locked on, so no worries either way ;)

Good eye to have seen this! Nicely composed, and love the sweet light!

Agree about inner frame. A very striking shot. Great the way you captured the lighting of it while still keeping detai in it.

Very nice image (nice colors, nice light!) and a nice title too, Kathy. (I'm not so sure, though, about the intruding innermost frame...) -- db.

The happy meter family.
I love it!

I would never have thought of it either but I sure like it! Great shot Kathy!

Kathy, this is an amazing image. I would never think of photographing meters, how clever of you!!! The light is fabulous and so is the pattern. Very nicely done.
