    Re: In the Company of Lamps

    Tuna; I have endless admiration for your original approach and what you choose to photograph. This image is no exception and thankfully I welcome the abondonment of the dreaded rulebook.
    This is a fun image and you have played here to good effect and any attempt by me to critique on the basis of image quality or composition would somehow be irrelevant and probably missing the point.
    Keep them coming.

    Re: In the Company of Lamps

    Tuna, this is alot of fun with reflections. At first, it could be a bit hard to take in and sort out, but upon a deeper look into this I can appreciate the well planned composition and find it to work very well.
    always a pleasure viewing your work

    Hah!! I'm glad you folks liked my self-indulgent puzzler...thank you for the comments - which, by the way, is also puzzling. It says "2" comments but there are three - as if one of you doesn't really exist in this world - and so,...one of you is only a reflection!!! Hah!!

    Yes, for some reason Toms post did not count on the number of replies. When I first saw the thread it said 0 replies, yet OverBeyond was listed as the last reply . . . ..(he was actually the first) Tuna is reaching far deeper into cyberworld than we can see with our mere eyes

    Congrats on another feature Tuna. But then again most all of your pictures are feature material. I love your work. Keep us in good supply.

    Re: In the Company of Lamps

    Hi Tuna,
    Congratulations on the sticky! I am amazed by the different layers of the photo deliver. The photo is well thought and executed. Could you show us the arrangement of the mirors in the room?
    All the best.

    Tuna,

    This is terrific - tried this a few times in hotel rooms but never liked the results but this is wonderful.
