Hi Folks:
Over at DPReview one of the challenges is "Art." I submitted the following inspired by Mark Rothko's abstract expressionist prints. Any thoughts? C & C always appreciated:
EXIF for Original: Nikon D40, ISO 200, f/5.6, 0,8 sec, 70mm, Handheld, No Flash

Hi Nacho,
What I do like about this image is the colours,
and the frame you chose to add to it, along with the title goes very well with this image.
Personally I don't like abstracts.
It's an art form that you either like or you don't. (my opinion only)
I look at these things and I say to myself "what is it?"
Often the image has more of an impact on the person who created it.
It's a very colourful shot Nacho
Hope it does well in the challenge ........ Skippy

Thanks Skippy and Archi:
Skippy, I tend to agree with you. I'm often not moved by abstract expressionism or other abstract/modern work, and in photography my bias goes more toward a grittier documentary style than toward abstraction. I just had to try it!
What gets me most about this shot are the colors, bounded by the dark borders at top and bottom, and the way the light just blurred across the shot as if stretching. Skippy, the Rothko chapel! I have not been there. Must be an intriguing place indeed. This image is not quite the sharp rectangular shapes that Rothko would have painted, but the ethos of it reminds me of his work.
Thanks again!
