(not so) straight lines

1/125 of a second - f/5.0 - ISO 400
Taken in the living room, it’s a lamp from Ikea made of paper… an interesting pattern of ‘wrong’ straight lines I suppose…

convergence to the core

Taken in the same restaurant in Lisbon while waiting for the table… diagonal lines straight to the core!

My second attempt on an assignment. I have to confess that I didn’t put much time into this, it was all made in about 30 minutes. I haven’t had much free time to wander around so I had to improvise. So here it is, take the chance and comment hard

Welcome back!!! And now for your hanging… err… my comments
1. I liked the design and the angle, but I would love to see more contrast and sharpness. Maybe the Ixus 400 wasn’t up to the job, I imagine pour light conditions and we all now how point-and-shoot work under that conditions.
2. Very imaginative! Well done, I would try framing on the plates only, that upper left corner can distract you.
3. the best from the batch, I know you love patterns, and this one is simply perfect!
4. Ixus again… But this one I like, lead me to an Hitchcock movie style. It lacks an focused point.
Good work, I hope see more photos here.
