Nice experiment. Not too far off. Really like the red border that the clock creates.

Interesting perspective. I would never have guessed what it was!

As others have said, this could be more precisely level and symmetrical, but it's a unique angle on an everyday object. Good eye!

Amazing how ordinary objects seem to take on a life of their own. This looks like a very happy kettle!

Maybe the left side should be slightly cropped to even it out but then again it might be my need to make things appear proper and classical. I tried out cropping but for some reason it just didn't feel right.

I'll bet your right. Happens to me all the time. I do have a habit of straightening and leveling everything. Must be my training as a painter. Like your photograph.

Cool capture and it does look like a robot. I will say that it does seem crooked or off balanced but like you said cropping it may not have looked right.

Originally posted by citymars: Great experiment. Love the effect and the exposure is just right. Would like to see a little more of the red at bottom, as it feels chopped off (more apparent in the thumbnail).

I agree about the chopped off feeling. As I said it was a rushed job, I was working with a prime lens and didn't have time to position the clock just right. Also, for some reason, my tripod doesn't seem to be level, so I had to rotate the image just a fraction, losing a little more off the bottom. Had it been for a challenge, I'd have needed to get the technical side of this image better, but it was just an experiment.
