Let me know which you prefer and why.
Pens:
Pont of view can be the backbone of a fabulous photograph. Or it can stun the viewer with mystery and questions. Either way it is one of the vital elements of an image’s success.
In the Lens section are my entries for this week’s photo challenge. The first is a rather normal park bench that struck me as having stellar lines when seen from an angular position. The shot brought out design elements in a way that is not usually noticed.
The second image melds reflection with architecture: giving clouds a frame of a different sort. Usually a skyline defines clouds’ momentary meaning. Instead I used natural light to transform the way in which the glass gave meaning to that day’s afternoon formations.
Note: As always I welcome any comment about this post or any part of my blog.

Tina, thank so much.
The park bench looks amazing. I didn’t even know that it’s part of the bench. The angle of how you took it, the color effect, the texture… Just brilliant. Have a wonderful week.
Thank you,and enjoy your week.
The park bench has a lovely sheen and I love the stellar lines 🙂
Thanks, and enjoy the week.
I absolutely love the special creativity of your work.

Loved both pictures but prefer the Park Bench. Such an unusual combination of the ordinary and extraordinary.

The park bench and the different perspective…I had not a clue at first what it was…which I like! Your creative mind is on overdrive my friend.
Laurie, I appreciate your comment. Enjoy your weekend.
Both of them are stunning but it was the park bench that really got my attention. Without the description I would have taken forever to work out what the structure was.
Thanks, it’s always nice to surprise the viewer. Enjoy the weekend.
