Yes, we are ET's Techno-Cousins!

Alternate title: The Surreal Gaudi on the Rooftop of La Pedrera. Taken on the rooftop of La Pedrera, these creatures called for some creative interpretations. So very unlike my usual style of realism, I gave them a surreal look. A year earlier, I posted a much more representational image and taken at a different angle at: http://365project.org/jyokota/365/2014-10-04

And the funny thing is that I originally posted last night that this one was my earlier photo but when I started wondering why it said "piston broke" in the middle and I looked at it again, it wasn't even mine at all! http://365project.org/pistonbroke/365/2015-07-24

Here's Taffy's creative re-imagining and interpretation: http://365project.org/taffy/365/2015-12-25

Great minds thinking alike! But with very different results. I like the texture and tones in this and the ominous look of the sky.

@taffy -- and in the end, I couldn't figure out what to do with all my night shots of the light show. So over-the-top processing of an over-the-top rooftop figure seemed right.

so sculptural. Interesting with the clouds.

Have you been in touch with Gaudi lately? I think he would approve!

I love this capture and the processing is magical!

Wow...never seen anything like it! Very creative!

I love these guys, they always send a chill down my spine. With this lighting and processing especially.
December 26th, 2015  
Wow, this looks amazing. I love your processing, these look other worldly.

This is a great picture! I love the lighting, it really gives it a warmth...the feeling they could be alive!
December 26th, 2015  
How cool looking!

Your processing really helps these fascinating sculptural shapes look other-wordly. Very dramatic and effective. Thanks for putting links to other folks' interpretations, as well as your earlier version. Very fun!
December 26th, 2015  
Very interesting. Your processing works well!

Aliens have definitely invaded your project. Just remember when ET went home he went alone.
