The Warped Building by taffy

The Warped Building

Such fun catching up on viewing your photos tonight. It's been a busy week. Thanks for your visits and comments -- much appreciated.
This was taken in March when we had a little sun and the promise of spring, unlike the rain and fog and tornadoes that have characterized today. April showers...yep...
And it does, as Eric pointed out, look better on black.
NOTE: moved this to 2/7 to fill in gap in b&w February album
Great image - well spotted and well presented. Interesting how well this works, with your perspective and viewpoint from below, having absolutely no lines running parallel to the frame, yet (and perhaps for that very reason) the vertical distortion is no problem at all. I think you were actually very clever to shoot this at an angle and force all lines to be at angles as well, further emphasising the distorted reflections on the glass. Lovely image, and also one where I think you will get a wide variety of feedback on Flickr.

@ericdibosco Mmm...wasn't going to post it there but will do so. Rachel @888rachel created one like this around the same time and I noticed hers when I was catching up a few days ago. It struck me because we are half a world apart and yet, we can capture such similar images.

Great image - one of my favourite games to play whenever I'm in somewhere like New York. Fav.

I love that effect on windows
April 10th, 2015  
What @ericdibosco Eric says!
April 10th, 2015  
Great angles
April 10th, 2015  
Great perspective. Very artistic.

Fabulous shot and it looks great on black. Reminds me of Newcastle after the earthquake :)

Super creative. Love the windows. I am with Maggiemae on this one and have no idea what Eric said above. Kind of like the FB page for my new camera. Learning but meantime foreign and over my head.

cool effect.
April 10th, 2015  
Great effect of the reflections!
April 10th, 2015  
Stunning Taffy

Gorgeous image Taffy!

Thanks for visiting my project today. I may complain about snow but I'll take it any day to tornadoes. One friend on here lives in Northern Maine and still has 11 ft of snow in her yard. This is really a great shot.

Gorgeous wonky reflections Taffy - it does look even better on black!! FAv!
April 10th, 2015  
This is fabulous. Has the appearance of being geometric despite the fact that many of the lines are skew! Great spot and capture
April 10th, 2015  
Brilliant shot. Love all those warped balconies.
April 10th, 2015  
Fascinating shot, I could stare at this for hours - fav
April 10th, 2015  
really wonderful composition.
April 10th, 2015  
Beautiful shot. The wavy building effect is so interesting.
April 10th, 2015  
Love this, Taffy. Plays tricks on my eyes. :)
April 10th, 2015  
Great b&w
April 10th, 2015  
Very cool shot. I really like the visual complexity of the warped reflections. I agree with @ericdibosco about how having none of the lines directly parallel to the frame adds to the complexity of the image and emphasizes the distortions. Nicely spotted, too.
April 10th, 2015  
Definitely great on black. very abstract with all those lines - fav
April 10th, 2015  
Great angle ( and mangle) of this reflective building!
April 10th, 2015  
Super capture, lines...neat abstract look
April 10th, 2015  
lovely capture... gives a visual illusion of a distorted building
April 10th, 2015  
Super capture and great reflections
April 10th, 2015  
Ohhh...very very cool! Love it!
April 10th, 2015  
A marvelous break from the tidy symmetry of your HDR interiors of exquisity buildings! This is just *fun*!
April 10th, 2015  
Very cool
April 10th, 2015  
Super capture, so well seen and composed. Fav. Love this.
April 10th, 2015  
It does look better on black. Great capture, love how it triggers the imagination
April 10th, 2015  
Love it!
April 10th, 2015  
Definitely better on black, love the effect on the windows but haven't a clue what Eric meant. I'm just enjoying the shot
April 10th, 2015  
Wonderfully surreal shot. Fav
April 10th, 2015  
Very impressive image
April 10th, 2015  
Great reflections.
April 10th, 2015  
So many great lines and so much to look at.
April 10th, 2015  
Super capture. Could be a few building infractions here.
April 11th, 2015
