The colors, the varying geometric shapes and the textural feel from the various components all work well to create a strong abstractive composition.

Has a little bit of everything.
Oblongs, rectangles, squares.. and a load of color.
Especially like the lrh granite square..lots of nice scratchy stuff.

Wow, my eye, looking at the unfit, has never been so fitful as when looking at this. The builder must be mad as a hatter. I don't think I have ever seen such a photograph where every element seems unrelated to every other element. Amazing.

Really cool Ross!!!

Spot on, Ross! What a great collection of odd shapes, textures, colors and dimension!

Cool!
For me, it would work even better when the image is rotated counter clockwise and then flipped horizontally.

Colors & geometric elements as noted - Ross, I have a "SPOT" posting from NOLA that I hesitated to post after seeing this, nor is it related or directed at anyone in particular (full disclosure, fair warning, confession - whatever...please don't take offense ;-o ) which tends toward representational instead of abstract such as this piece.
Nicely seen/done!

Great concrete abstract!

Lots in here - shapes, colors, textures - and all fit in the whole so well! Very interesting.

The vertical red line ties the top and bottom together very nicely.

I love how the planes play with our preception. It's hard to tell what is going where at first. So many different textures as well. I never seem to be able see these types of images in the morass of the city but you seem to have a built-in filter. Great shot.

Very nice visual puzzle.


Comments by Marlis Steinke on Mon, 10/13/08 13:44

OOOOOOOOOO - colour, texture, circles, lines, squares - love it!

Very appealing to look from texture to texture and shape to shape.

I'm guessing old theatre or Chinese restaurant. For no good reason, that just what my brain spit out.


Comments by Ross Thornton on Mon, 10/13/08 17:44

Thanks, everyone.
Els, I never tried that. Weird, I like it.
Linda, this place used to be a Vietnamese restaurant. then it was a Schlotzky's. So you were on the right continent, just a little disoriented, my fault.

Interesting assortment of angles and shapes, makes for a rather disorienting architectural riddle.


Comments by els mo on Mon, 10/13/08 18:45

Ross, I am glad you liked it.
It's because I love this:

very vivid and intricately constructed. the flaking on the white is nice because it adds another texture and sort of grounds the whole improbable thing. the dimensions make it seem more a photograph than something flat and purely abstract.

kandinsky? no.


Comments by Ross Thornton on Mon, 11/17/08 21:00

unnecessarily cryptic? perhaps.

Beautiful.
