Craftsmanship #3

Gallery: LandscapePosted January 20, 2011310 views24 comments

This is just a more intimate view from my last visit to the lake. There's not sunset reflecting here, only a high bright overcast. Your eyes/mind gets a pretty peculiar perception of color in these settings.

Thanks for looking.

Stunning abstract Kent! I like the diagonals and the salmon / black object / reflection in the foreground. Almost looks like graffiti under ice!

A really wonderful abstract, Kent. Excellent clarity and detail in the larger version too.

This fascinating, Kent! The color contrast adds so much here. I bet it must be weird indeed wandering through chambers of pure eerie blue.

Incredible how these two colors go together so well. Really well seen and captured! It makes for such a fine abstract. You made my brain go, "Huh?"

The detail in the large version is exquisite.

Fascinating image! I know it must have something to do with ice because you photographed it, but it could just as well be a satellite image for a ll I know. Well seen and captured!

What an amazing abstract, Kent. The wonderful flow and detail of the ice are perfect, and that reflected light is really remarkable. Makes one stop and take a second look and be drawn into the image and really appreciate the beauty. Beautiful work.

Liked the random textures in this lovely abstract, Kent. The colour combination sets it apart.

It takes a while to figure this one out - which is good. Just beautiful, Kent.

Fascinating abstract. The pinkish portion is pretty wild, but I like it. Its an image that keeps me looking.

What a fascinating image Kent! So well composed. An image to get "into" and spend some time in it.

Kent,

I've come back to this enough times now that I give up. What an awesome and successful abstract this is! Very similar to TK's recent sandstone image, I can't make heads or tails out of this. But I'm pretty sure it's ice... The colors and abstract patterns are simply engaging.

I think if you brought this, Tony's image and so many others that come to mind, like Floris' ice bubble image from the Lava Beds... all together in one display, that would be one awesome display of nature's abstract wonders.
