You know if you stare at this long enough it will start to move. Checking my coffee to make sure nothing has been added.lol..im teasing but it is an interesting capture. The clarity is great. The capture of the light is great. The angle of the shot of this pattern is great. The presentation is balance and eye appealing to the viewer. Good eye and great job overall.

    Hi MK.. This piece is an enigma. No matter how I angled my camera I could only get half of the piece in focus. I think it might have something to do with the way the Fresnel Lens was cut? .. Maybe?

    Thanks for the look and stars. Keep your nose in the wind and your eyes on the horizon... Bob

this is a difficult one to asess only because it looks out of focus but guess this is the effect of this,the abstract effect also works for this one...Brian

    Brian you picked up on the problem with this shot. I could not find a setting that got all of this intriguing piece in full focus! Drove me mad. From behind the owner of the piece said, "Yeah, drove me nuts as well. Took my camera to the repair shop. Of course nothing wrong." The owner, a professional photog, told me he could get the center out to about the tenth ring focused, then either the top half or bottom half would be focused. I had the same experience. The piece remains an enigma.

    Thanks for the review... Bob
