not seeing what you saw, it does not hold much interest

bizarre catchlight,creates a eerie, sci-fi feel, an image full of potential. Bumping to 9 for your persistence in getting this imaging; I'm guessing it was not easy. I tried this, a SP, as well.

Hate the explanatory title... but LOVE the image! Well done! But, I do have to add that I don't like the shot not including a magnifying glass in a Magnifying Glass challenge. (not voting)

I like what I see. The grain, the tones, the blur, the shadows.
Very interesting portrait.

Comment by RamblinR:
For me this image doesn't meet the challenge. With no view of the magnifying glass I have no idea if one was used or if the image is simply out of focus. Something more half half may have worked better here.

This is really cool. The film markers enhance that artsy feeling.

Like it. Looks almost like it was shot with a wideangle lens. I suppose the choice of box you make these out of determines the focal length. I just noticed the pattern on the building. I am wondering if this was built as a twin to the Republic center tower here in Dallas?


Added: Did some research, and they are siblings. Same architectural firm. The Pittsburgh tower was built in '53 and the Dallas one in '54.

This was made for this. And hey, the echo of the sprocket holes in the windows.

Had you not put it in your title I would have just thought this was OOF.
