So strange that I see this tonight. When I came downstairs and looked up at the fixture from below I thought to myself what a neat picture.
This is truly a wonderful image.

A truly wonderful photo. It took me a few seconds to figure out what it was--the title helped. The image at the top has me puzzled.

At first sight I have had to compose my mind to understand the perspective :)
Good angle and composition of lines.

I spotted your thumbnail on the community page and was drawn to it before knowing whose it was or, what it was ... thinking wheel, at first.
Are you looking straight up at the light fixture? It is definitely intriguing!

@Judy: Yes, straight up. Thanks, Judy.
@Lorraine: Thanks, Lorraine. Always appreciated.

A nice design for a lamp, very interesting. Did you use the flip LCD ? :)
10 Feb 2009 11:15pm
@Observing: Thanks, Mike. I almost never use the LCD and prefer looking through the viewfinder. The camera feels steadier that way and there are no reflections or sunlight to worry about.

A very effective angle of view, Michael!
