This was shot between two of the movable bookshelves in the new library here at Middlebury College.

I dunno why, but I found it very striking. I love when photos come out as a suprise; I never really expected for this shot to work, let alone result in such an amazing image.

I'd love to hear what people think...

I thought everything was a little out of focus at first - and then I realised why everything was out of focus.
That's a very good shot I must say, it has abstraction already without being too over-beared by being symmetrical~
I guess it may be a little better if it was sharp somehwere, I'm that close to faving it, but its lacking a little bit - just to take it into epic levels.

I tried doing some unsharp mask-ing in PS and it sharpened things up in the center, but then I decided I didn't really like it that way, the focus for me was less on the "focal" point, than on the shapes, and the colors...
thanks for commenting!

True, sometimes the whole image works better as a blurred abstraction :)

Incredible sense of depth, and somehow of speed, too, because of the soft focus. Very cool shot!

:love: :camera: If you make pictures, don't speak, don't write, don't analyze yourself and don't answer any question :camera: :love:
That's a wonderful shot. I like the focusing at the end. Great idea
