The Gargoyle...

I've moved this to my third album because I'm just not happy with it... It's nice so many people do like it, and I really appreciate all the lovely comments, but to me I played with the light on it more than I am proud of, and to me, it just doesn't seem to work as D :(

For "get pushed" in which @orangecrush challenged me to do some alphabet photography and spell out a word... The only rule he set is that I can't use any letters - only objects that look like letters...

I've been fiddling with this one ALL EVENING and i'm so done with it... you may need to suspend disbelief... it's a D... if you can't tell it's a D, at least you can enjoy the gargoyle, right? ;p

Thank you all for the comments and favs... I'm glad everyone is having fun with the guessing game... a few of you are on the right track... there are two words... one here, the other in my "just because" album... http://365project.org/northy/just-because/2012-08-23

And because I've been missing it, I'm posting a streety shot in my "somebody stop me" album... http://365project.org/northy/somebody-stop-m/2012-08-23

I can see the D, but I love this for the moodiness, the gargoyle and really everything else too. FAV

[Eryck]

is this from capital hill?

[☠northy]

@eryck nope... it's the old city hall clock tower in toronto...

[Eryck]

those gargoyles look like the once on the tower block of parliament hill, btw i ve been enjoying your posts lately, keep up the good twerk

[Maggiemae]

Thats very astute of you to get the D in this shot! Good of the clock too! My word is not working from your clues!

[Leonie Mogridge]

Oh...I had guessed an O...but I can see the D. Have to rethink my guess at the owrds now as well!!

[Kerri]

Beautiful

[ShanneW]

I wondered if you were using this one as a G - having a sneaking suspicion I know what you're building here - when I saw it on Flickr, then came here to check - this is very cool

[☯ Sarah ☁]

Great moodiness in this, love the dramatic B&W this is a cool series :)

[jerry plume]

A "D" and a Fav! I would fav this 10 times if I could! Love this!!!!

[Megsy]

Fabulous shot

[8yearson]

Very reminiscent of the Hunchback of Notre Dame and Quasimodo swinging from the bell tower!

[Michael]

I love this. Nice moody feel to it.

[aurorajane]

Fantastic use of light the image is stunning

[Marie]

Sorry Northy .. Didn't pick out the "D" but yes I did enjoy the Gargoyle very much. Cool capture and processing.

[Caroline]

Sure it's a d. Well done, I love the way you rise so well to the challenges. Cute gargoyle too.

[Cromwell]

This is fantastic! You know I have a weakness for gargoyles.

[Stacey]

I don't get the D? I am to mesmerized by the O that is the clock face. This is a gorgeous shot, not for the letter, but just for the shadow and light.

[Colleen]

This is so wonderfully dramatic!

[Sean]

I see the the D...the light on the clock, right? Very cool!! Fav because I love the gargs!!!!!

[Humphrey Hippo]

D for dramatic!

[leigh h]

Love the light (and the gargoyle). The D was very well spotted!

[Ruth Moucharafieh]

Ok,,,,I found the D, after a short study, the light is amazing!!! Love it!

[Simon]

Great shot Northy

[Michelle]

This is a cool shot.. love your use of B&W on this

[Ade Akinyede]

Dramatic lighting and shot!!

[Amaya Williams]

An ominous feel to it--gets the goose bumps going. Well done, but I have to admit "D" wasn't my first guess.

[Elizabeth Youngs]

Great shot! Love the texture and processing!

[Aleksandra]

I didn't see the D immediately, but looking at it in the thumbnails next to the other letters it is definitely a D :) Cool shot!

[Peter de Graaff]

Fav. Like this a lot. With contrast and textures

[Jasmine]

Great photo, love the lighting and shades

[Myrna O'Hara]

Contrasts, light, shadows, very moody like an old Hitchcock movie scene.
Congrats on the PP, way cool. How you find these "letters" is beyond me.

[Dominique]

Fantastic shot - the lighting is great, as is the pov. I do see the D as well!

[Paul]

fabulous northy, and a fav

[Bankmann]

Wow; such a cool gothic picture! Fav!

[Simply Amanda]

This is really awesome. Love the clock, the POV and the gargoyle. A fav!

[Frank Hymus]

I just saw this. A D is way too low a grade. The composition is at least an A-. The lighting is very tough, I agree.
