Beautiful abstract image with some nice lighting, but I do not think "desolation" when I look at this.

I'm missing the desolate part totally. The lines aren't interesting enough to make me want to look at the photo more than once.

Thank you for your PM response to my questions about your thoughts behind this. It's always interesting to me to hear the thought processes behind people's images. I think if this were being presented solely as a peice of art in a modern art gallery that it would be well received. In those situations the theme or thought process is often seen merely as a starting point for inspiring the artist's creativity. My feeling is that this particular environment is a little different because it involves creating an image based on a theme where that theme can be discerned by the viewers in the final image. On that level I just don't feel, personally, that this image succeeds. I do think it succeeds on other levels - I like the design itself, the light and shadow and geometric style. I look forward to seeing more work from you in the future.

The glass appears to be a little dirty, or is it the water? The blur in the lower right hand corner doesn't seem to fit in to your photo. Also (sorry for being so hard on you here) The whole pic is on the dark side. So, now tell me what those things are?

nothing better than purity of lines.

Stylish contrast maybe, but not desolate. Nice abstract though.
