this is a wall

i rather think i've hit one...

nothing to see here... carry on...

btw... thank you all who commented (and even fav'd!!) my bathroom shot from yesterday... it wasn't a particularly brave shot as (trust me) no one ever uses those bathrooms... but i did want some practice so that if i ever venture into bathrooms where more chutzpah is required at least i'll know exactly what to do... still mulling over whether this is worth pursuing... i know it isn't pretty, but then, pretty doesn't do much for me...
Oh well!!1 The lines are interesting, as is the texture on the left.

Love the lines, the processing and the story! I know that feeling!

Awesome lines

For me, the texture on the left really adds a lot. It's kind of a quilted blanket effect to soften the otherwise strong lines and cold feeling (though, I wonder if it would have a hot feeling, if I viewed this in August?).

fun pov and lines on this

don't ask me why.. but instantly this reminded me of Madmen….

I like the pattern and had the same reaction as @brigette -- expected to see Don Draper falling down the wall, along with iconic things from the 60s!

nothing wrong with shooting walls and lines !!! :)

It has an interesting softness to it.

Yes, I see what @johnl means - there is a softness, particularly in the near corner. Perhaps it looks like the padding in a cell... :D

Thought of you, @janim as soon as I saw this and saw northy's remark about having hit a wall. There's definitely a lot to be got out of walls, angles, and so on :)

FAV! :)

This is very good. Strong lines and tones, with a bit of texture thrown in too.
January 22nd, 2014  
Excellent shot and beautiful contrasts...if that's hitting a 'wall' then I need to start doing what you're doing!
January 22nd, 2014  
and it's a gritty wall!
January 22nd, 2014  
So cool! Brilliant shot, love the simplicity!
January 22nd, 2014  
Brilliant patterns and composition. Fab shot

Cool pov

Lovely graphical image. There is more detail here than one first assumes. The tiles/blocks are different sizes and the angle makes them look like diamonds. Nice. :)

Your calendar is full of beautiful black and white or subdued coloured shots, especially for the last few months. My challenge to you is to do a monochrome image but in one colour of your choice, not edited to be monochrome but a scene/set-up that is monochrome to begin with.

How does that sound to you? Let me know if you need something different.

@obmcreations hmmm... white on white or black on black? or are you thinking red on red or green on green? ;p i'm up for either!
January 23rd, 2014  
@northy I was thinking colour - anything except black and white to inject a little colour into your calendar. ;)
January 23rd, 2014  
@obmcreations okidokie... colour.... but only one colour... and not photoshopped... intriguing... i will see what i can come up with... tx for such an interesting challenge!

♥♥♥ !!

Nice POV

I like it as is- strong compositional lines, nice high key effect and interesting to look at.

Wonderful.

I love the grading from dark to light combined with the receding diamonds xx
