    H or V

    Do you like the vertical or horizontal better?

    In this case, I like the horizontal, but I'd like to see it vertical with the blue orange division as a straight or nearly straight vertical.

    I would have to agree with Frog, I keep wanting to cock my head to
    to see the light fixture the way it suppose to be.
    But if this is your intent, then it does make you stop and look.
    The first pic, makes me feel, I am standing over it, as if, standing
    on the wall looking down at the light.

    I'm a freak. The vertical pulled me in right away. Love that angle!
    It's not blurry. It's bokeh.

    My vote is for the vertical as well (freaks unite!). I keep thinking the light on the horizontal is shooting sideways.

    I gotta say that I love the colors and textures. It's a great shot.

    Re: H or V

    Hey!

    Thanks for all the great responses...:thumbsup:

    I am still kind of on the fence on this one, but leaning heavily toward the vertical.

    Lets try this again: I took this shot today before finishing up the last sip of my bud. I really like the horizontal image, but its way off base for the angle the glass should be at. What do you guys think?
