 I have hope that people are going to get this. The circle is from my mamiya RB which I shot through. I lined up the circle with the forks. Shooting through the mamiya however produced an out of focus "landscape" for the circle. I wanted that because I felt the shades and the shapes where more important than in focus items. I don't how this will go over, probably like a lead ballon.

post challenge.
Thanks for all the comments!!!

I certainly get it!
THe idea is brilliant because I had this very idea ;) ... I shot through a Canon AE1. I was too shy to enter it. This one may have been more successful if the subject didn't line up with the view finder. I think that confuses it a bit - especially since the forks are almost unrecognizable. Still - kick-butt idea! ;)

Here's what I had going on:

I like the softness of this. The blue hue is very relaxing and soothing. I like the uniform lines (forks?). Very interesting abstract.

This is very cool looking, but why is it so small?

This is kind of cool and elusive. I like the abstractness.

O.K., pretty and smooth. Nothing really grabs, though.
