I looked at this for some time during voting, but in the end couldn't decide what I made of it (although I guess a viewer makes of any exhibit what they do...) - on the one hand I liked the juxtaposition of the different elements, even though I didn't know what they all were, and I liked the over-all aesthetic 'feel', but on the other it somehow bothered and frustrated me that I didn't understand what the photographer was trying to communicate.

Wow, further proof that people on this site have no clue, I can't believe this is all the way down here.

Still think this is one of your best shots, Mary - so many layers in it, a real treat to look at. I was happy to see you put it in.

This is certainly a cut above the other bottom feeders down this end of the 1000 challenge spectrum. I'd say it is arty and pleasant.

Interesting submission, I like how temporary everything seems.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/17/2009 10:15:08 AM
chaotic and disturbing, but yet moving
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/17/2009 01:54:58 AM
Interesting reflection... but aside from that, the photo doesnt really grab my attention. Sorry.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Nice reflection and movement.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/16/2009 01:21:13 AM
Lost the meaning here....?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/16/2009 12:36:48 AM
I suppose that at some level this works as an abstract. Composition's okay but I'm having trouble resonating with the subject.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 09:08:11 PM
i like the double exposure effect or whatever is going on here, but the lack of focus is distracting
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 06:04:23 PM
Great capture on the reflections, really interesting picture.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 05:31:38 PM
Very interesting shot. For being so out of focus, it's pretty cool.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 03:09:07 PM
good concept, but the movement is a bit of a distraction
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 02:52:48 PM
Hm, the title intrigues me. What is the meaning of light? I'm not sure I see it in this image, or perhaps that's the point...
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 01:33:29 PM
guess lot of ppl have already told u this shook a lot
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 10:42:38 AM
a lot of different layers going on here, cool
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 09:29:09 AM
look a bit brown to me ;-)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 07:16:38 AM
Not sure I get the meaning here. Interesting image. Looks like you were either shaking the camera on purpose or this was in the midst of an earthquake.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 07:06:51 AM
if it was sharper...
dunno


take care ;) brano
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 01:18:03 AM
I'm not sure exactly what is happening here, but it's very out of focus and just plain confusing.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 11:51:11 PM
I was going to say "interesting idea but it doesn't come off" until my wife who was standing 5m away said "there's a face in there" and I stood back and looked. That adds a bit more some so I'll bump you up a bit.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 11:40:32 PM
Interesting reflections, the face on the side gives this an eerie feeling.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 11:29:29 PM
Nothing in focus - not sure this conveys much about light, but more about distortion. The light globes are interesting.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 10:52:32 PM
almost one of those images where if you stare at it you see faces ..... :)
so clever
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 08:35:46 PM
I love the three shades on the left... I would have cropped off the top 1/2.. distracting
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Interpretation of Topic: Interesting Idea
Photography: Fine
Viewers Reaction: I see your point, but have no reaction to this.

Nice spontaneous capture.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 03:46:24 PM
wow.. way too busy and no real subject. 2
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 08:44:07 AM
I'm intrigued by this image. There's a lot to look at here!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 12:18:01 AM
light is a thought. light is face. a thought of a face. light is a memory. light is meaning. thought is meaning to be light. 10

sorry this just doesn't work for me...
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 08:28:06 PM
sorry , the effect does not quite appeal to me , 5
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 06:28:42 PM
So much to explore in this shot... interesting how the only thing that isn't duplicated is the lights from inside. Very unique.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 04:35:59 PM
Not sure the double/reflected image has worked here
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 02:59:33 PM
I like the concept behind this capture. However, it seems a little busy to me without any real focus on anything. I would have liked to have seen a clearer reflection of the woman with a less busy backdrop.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 12:19:30 PM
Nice combination of natural and artificial light.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 09:49:20 AM
makes for an interesting abstract shot
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 10:40:52 PM
Man! this is creepy good!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 07:25:22 PM
I'm not sure what the reflection of the lights adds to this photo.

Saw this one again in the thumbnails. I completely missed the face in the reflection. Glad I saw it now, because I missed out on it before.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 06:43:20 PM
Interesting and kind of cool, but I'm not really sure what to focus on.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 04:35:12 PM
a little chaotic and requires a little more time to understand.... not that i do :) interesting to say the least. I like the womans face hidden in the image.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 03:21:53 PM
The meaning of light indeed! Its elusive nature chaotically captures my eyes here as I explore all this photo has to offer!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 03:16:16 PM
I like this. There's the triple - possibly quadruple - reflections, the "T" at the top (which seems important somehow, and the tree growing in the light. All quite interesting to me.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 02:25:06 PM
Good shot. Almost missed the girls reflection. I bet many will miss it.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 12:32:19 PM
At first I was like "not much going on" and then I got it. Way cool!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 12:24:59 PM
No more coffee for me.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 11:36:10 AM
A bit blurry, obviously, not my cup of tea.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 11:56:27 PM
the blurred background is not working for me, very distracting
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 06:49:27 PM
This one kinda makes me dizzy. Maybe I like that. I'm going to show it to my dog.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 06:31:10 PM
not sure
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 04:34:32 PM
Not really liking all of the motion blur in this. Its a bit to cluttered to.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 04:08:20 PM
Great movement and design! Nice contrast between the lights and darks and good sense of color. I particularly like the shadow effect you created in the branches! Well done! 9

cool capture
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I don't get it?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 05:27:15 AM
I am all for `quirky/experiemental` shots but this really does nothing for me. far too busy to be honest.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 03:34:08 AM
like what I see after a few beers
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 02:12:50 AM
Great combination of reflections and reality.
