Here is one I took this morning.
Hi Kathy,If photography is writing with light on a medium - this qualifies as a photograph.
A beautiful one - unique, well exposed and finished and delightfully pleasing to my senses.
Hi Asher,This, Cem, is a perfect setting for the wall mounted figures. Where do the colored projected patterns come from? I like the nightlife mood you have recorded. Still, I must admit my taste for selective emphasis comes to my mind here. I wish such an image would disappear into the background and not be so perfectly focused everywhere. Do you feel sure of how you want this to be at this time?
..The colored projected patterns are caused by the rays of lights coming from the leaded glass windows to the top right of the picture, hence the specific choice of this composition. There is a semi-transparent curtain/fabric hanging in front of the window which diffuses the light and causes a nice duplication of the leaded glass patterns on the fabric itself...
Interesting idea of the crop and it deserves consideration, certainly! But as I mentioned in the quoted text above, the composition would cease being what I've meant it to be if I'd cropped the rest....I think, which is just me and i dont count for much but i like the picture right up to the end of the purplish wall...I'd of cropped off the rest. Very interesting how the light is on the wall.......
Ah I see that you may have missed my silly sarcasm about what constitutes a photograph in relation to the threads I have referred to at the topCem you can get a variety of definitions of a picture from a variety of experts.In photography contest such as ones put on by National Geographic theres a catagory called snap shots...Not that the above is a snap shot i'm just saying it's a significant enough part of PHOTOGRAPHY that its recognized by National Geographic and other photography contest...It does NOT have to be art to be photography......

Hi Cedric,Hi Cem,
I like this curious mix of colors and lights, which give a quite baroque atmosphere... More, this picture is rich of religious symbols and meanings : is this red gate in the background the gate of sin ?
Regards,
Cedric.
Hi Bart,To me, the fascinating part is that the windows in the background are (relatively) focused, and the projected light patterns on the foreground are defocused, yet the foreground itself is also in focus. Although I understand it, it (subconsciously) rocks my senses.
