WOW!! You rock. I'm so sorry I didn't vote this challenge. This photo is the epitome of architecture. I'm sorry you were robbed of the brown.

Well, Gordon, I see you are well on your way to keeping your promise to take only out-of-focus photos this year :-) Problem is, the photo still works, at least to my eye. I didn't vote, but would have given you a right decent score. It's actually a refreshing break from the uber-sharp and very colorful images. Sorry you missed that coveted brown by one shot, LOL.

Well, Gordon, this photo leaves much to the imagination (which I believe a few of your commentors need more of BTW) and I imagine an impression of a building not quite concrete, but most certainly taking a shape almost within a dreamscape. Here is a clear and excellent example where "Less is More." ;-)

(Gosh...that reminds me...I have to go do my laundry now...may I borrow your basket? ::winks::)

This photo feels like your 'auto'-focus was off or that you prefocused on a very close object. It's really bright too; you've lost your detail in the sky and most of the building. -BB

The image is too washed out, even if you were going for an artsy shot.

Different and abstract take on the challenge

i think the effect was overdone

I am not sure why you chose to process the photo this way, people usually prefer to see something sharp and in focus.

where is it?

Great for the type of photography, and definately an artsy look for a type of photography that doesnt easily lend itself to art. Looks like a pretty boring building made into something kind of pleaseing to the eye.

Interesting ghostlike composition.

Far too blurry for my taste, and contrast seems low.

nice, very surreal!

Sorry but this looks like you didn't even try to focus.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 01/30/2008 10:08:56 AM
And what is it that am i not able to see here????
  Photographer found comment helpful.

This is a fine abstract. I can easily see it in a magazine as a background for an advertizement. It would complement the right sort of text over the top of the image. But here, in this challenge, I fear it will suffer in the voting.
