Challenge: Art of 2011 (Advanced Editing VII*)
Camera: Canon EOS-550D Rebel T2i
Lens: Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II
Date: Nov 5, 2011
Aperture: f/2.8
ISO: 800
Shutter: 1/500
Date Uploaded: Mar 10, 2012

 Really happy to be able to resurrect this image. Was planning on submitting it for the Golden Mean challenge, but then realized at the last minute it was a basic editing challenge, and not an advanced editing challenge. So image has been stuck on the desktop since. Quite happy for a second chance to submit it!

Do I think it will do well? Nope, not at all. Not enough interest, or punch, or excitement, or color (black, white and brown..yuck). I do like it though, but I struggle to put my finger on why. Maybe it's the simplicity of it. Maybe it's the duality of it. Just something about it appeals to me and makes me want to look deeper.

But that's me, and not the average 5-second voter :) So fully expect this to fail miserable. Anything above 5.5 and I'll consider it a success. After all, I have no idea about what makes art!

Simple and impactful. Love the black and white and the mystery of the contents of the ring (sounds like a good book title :) ) Well composed. 8

Very DPCish abstract-stock photo look but nicely done (commenting only)

Striking Op-art flavor, strong and sharp. Very cool.

beautiful job...I will be very curious as to what you originally shot this for as it seems like it could have taken the "Golden Ratio Challenge" hands down...stunning

Great modern Art. I could see this hanging in a Starbucks.
