My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
Anyone who has ever taken more than a dozen photographs knows the challenge in trying to shoot a scene or object that has mirrored detail in it or parallel lines--looking across a footbridge, a church aisle, a framed painting, and so on--in such a way that the edge of the details on the left match the identical ones on the right, that the top matches the bottom... only to reach total failure or, at best, "Dagnabbit! Almost!" In my own 39 years of clicking a shutter release I've never achieved perfection in this attempt, nor have I seen it anywhere. But I have to say, C., this image of yours comes the closest I've ever seen--in a book, a magazine, or an individual. On top of that it is studio tack-sharp with perfect color and no blowouts to be seen. I'm not speechless (have you ever known me to be?) but my first response was simply "Wow!"... followed by "Wow!"... then several expletives. [o]
If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.
I think Knik said it all SEA. He generally does. :) I have taken many stained glass photos and never had one turn out even close to this good. Kudos, my friend. It is beautiful.
The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
