Zincby
CEJComment by mesmeraj: I gave you a 6 Alienyst - i thought you were brave for using a not rusted/ not shiney type of metal like zinc. Being an aussie, zinc to me is the white crap we smear acorss out noses on sunny days - which is what i instantly thought of seeing these bars (zinc oxide sunscreen comes in bars like chapsticks).
At first i thought they were wrapped in metall paper like a crayon, afterwards realising that it was back-lit. A very affective use of this technique that definately gave the picture a little extra oomph.
The image is sharp, and the light sort of draws you back though the gaps. The zinc fades a bit too much for my liking into the background in the bottom row, i would have liked to see that nice bluishblack in the top of the pile in all the rods.
I wonder if this wouldnt be more interesting if it was taken from a slight angle, so that the pyramid wasn't facting us head on, but you could still see the light down the rods.
As i have said, a brave, and nicely exicuted photo.
