 photo is the reflection in a kitchen mixing bowl. lighting is incandescent light bulbs. I wanted to capture the light reflecting in the stainless steel bowl with a soft focus. Noticed that the dark shadow created in the image took the shape of a person. I like the idea of a shadow hiding out in lights. it has a meaning for me of a person that feels somehow hidden, even when surrounded by bright lights. perhaps that person is waiting to come out from the shadows and be part of the bright surroundings.

I find this interesting and fairly well balanced for an abstract. The stark blackness at the top corner bugs me as it doesn't match any of the other blackness, but it does help control the image. Good snipets of color. 7

I like the mystery and darkness of this, combined with shining lights of something not obtained.

Even though there's a darkness to the center, the light around is inviting. There's a friendly feel to the shot, although the sense of motion can be a bit disconcerting if you visit for too long!
