Challenge: Hidden Gem -- 1,000th Challenge! (Advanced Editing VII*)
Camera: Nikon D700
Lens: Nikon AF Nikkor 50mm f/1.4D
Location: Woodbridge, Va.
Date: Jan 24, 2009
Aperture: f/4.5
ISO: 200
Shutter: 1/1600
Date Uploaded: Mar 4, 2009

 The chrome-plated "ascension" sculpture at the Udvar-Hazy National Air and Space Museum, Chantilly, Va., is a dream to photograph because of the way it reflects the sky. I was fortunate to have a clear blue sky the day I visited, and was able to get a really nice gradation.

Great minimalist composition and use of subtle tones. The gradient is flawless and I love the flowing lines. Looking forward to seeing "what" this is too. Good job!

No idea what this is, but has an interesting curve, and uses shads of blue effectively.

Beautiful abstract.
 03/15/2009 08:10:13 PM
This succeeds brilliantly as an abstract, and upon closer inspection, the sharp edges and reflection improves upon it. Among best of class.

Okay, help me out here. Which way do I turn my head??? Your effect has certainly engaged me. Nice work. Good luck!

Very abstract...
 03/14/2009 12:39:54 AM
Love your composition here, it leads my eye across the photo. I'm curious to see what this is after the challenge ends. I bet this would also look great in B&W or a silvertone.

Voted earlier coming back to leave comments. This abstract image has nice clean lines and elegantly minimalistic in presentation. I love how the main leading line twist and turns giving the eye a path to follow. The curves offer visual appeal and my eye travels from the bottom right corner to follow it up to the top of this expanding lines funnel to the top left corner. The line going at the diagonal from right to left is in 'spinning' path adds visual interest.
