This is officially my final five countdown towards my 10,000th comment. It suddenly acquired enormous portent for me, so I chose the final five from the thumbnails. This is number 9,996.

I am very familiar with this installation, and have wanted to shoot it for quite some time now. In fact, this is the pov that I have wanted to shoot, so thanks a lot. I'm going out on a limb here and guessing that this is by mgarsteck, as he's a local, and the editing reminds me of his work. If this is NOT Matt, consider it a compliment.

I really like this image for all its lines (real and implied), and the exceptional editing to maintain all the tonal ranges. There is a lot of movement, especially considering how fixed these lights are, and I feel as though I'm zooming through space, or that time is zooming towards me.

So very good and odd. A great combination for me. Love the dramatic lighting and crusty, rusty detail in the foreground, and the smooth but scratched plane that separates the pipe for the dreamy sky. The intriguing squiggle provokes all sorts of guesses.

Simple yet effective. I love that ceiling and the fan blur, but the oblique angle really adds a sense of daydreaming. I imagine that I am on vacation in a tropical setting, and don't want to get out of bed yet.

Very interesting effect. It's like peeking through a fractured glass, with all the shards pointing in the same direction.
