It pays to play around with the unusual sometimes. I agree the result is more painterly than photographic but still very pleasing.I like the way the colurs compliment each other. Mitch

    Thank for your nice comments, I admit this is almost the strangest piece yet, it still boggles my mind why it turned out the way it did. That is why I love to shoot at night, with colored lights, and reflections... never know what to expect...thank you for your review and taking the time!

    Thank you Jesuael....I must admit, this one was a shocker, I did not recognize any of my images...I guess that is why I like to shoot colors, lights, reflections etc. in the dark of night, you ever know what to expect! Thank you for taking time to review this one!

I like this a lot. The initial impact is great. I really didn't think it was a photo. I thought it was a painting. I think it's because of the hologram eye. I especially like the contrast of the yellow and blue. Nice composition too. Very creative and unique.

    Thank you for your great comments...I also didn't think it looked like a photo..and with such minor adjustments I made, It still boggles my mind how this turned out this way.....I have more, and they are all different too...I guess to me thats why I like shooting colors, lights and reflections at night!

WOW! This certainly grabs your attention, and the explanation of how you accomplished this presentation is quite mind boggling.

This is a very fun looking shot. I looks painted pretty amazing result. Colors are very nice and unique. Center of interest is the eye. Technically well shot. Story telling is very good. Thank you for sharing with us.

Comment from bluegypsyrose


WOW. Great Abstract shot.I love the eye looking out and the swirling motion. The lighting was perfect. Thanks for telling how you did this but I don't think I could do it myself.

    Thank YOU, so glad you like it, and appreciate the process...it turned out so completely different from what I expected, that is why I like to shoot at night with lights, colors and reflections...so unpredictable.....
Comment from willie


Nice work!
This is a very strange thing to see! I like the look of it though! The colors are very good. You could have called this tunnel vision!

    Thank you willie....it is very strange indeed...I did not expect this result, but that is why I like to shoot with color, lights and reflections in the dark at night.....totally unpredictable and hard to tell what it will look like....Thanks again!
Comment from lynnkah


This is the most fascinating piece I think You've done. It does look like a painting and the eye is perfect. Gives an oddly eerie yet fun look to it. There is a slight reflection that comes across the top from corner to corner which I think adds to the depth of this piece.
Your work is amazing simoka and no one could do this type of stuff but you.
Amazing!
Lynn

    Thank youcso much Lynnnkah for your stars and awesome review! It really boggles my mind, how this shot turned out so different from what it actually is! I used a small aperture, 32, (because the vase is so tall and narrow, and I wanted to get the long tubular look), and bulb for different shutter speeds, but with each change of angle, position or lighting the difference in each one is strange...very unpredictable,...and that is why I love to shoot with colors, lights and reflections....who knows what you will end up with....hard to see everything at night! I think I might post another one, see if anyone can figure it out! LOL! Thanks again for your comments, and all those stars! Have a great day!
