Abstract - seats

[Manfred M]

This somewhat abstract shot are some of the seats of the Himachel Pradesh Cricket Stadium.




I've started to revisit some of the images I shot last fall in South Asia.

That's a simple composition Manfred and it works - full of diagonals and good use compositionally, of colour. I'm tempted to say a strategically seated figure would improve it but actually, it doesn't need it. I t would just produce an interesting alternative. Well seen.

How marvelously strange. I like it.

I like it too...I wouldn't have taken such a simple shot and turn it into an art...I guess I lack imagination...

Thanks John.

I had the same thought when I was shooting, unfortunately, that section of the stadium was closed so there was no way for me to get a person into one of the seats.

Of course repeating patterns is an important compositional tool, and I had oodles of that. Add a medium long telephoto lens to flatten the scene any one gets sometime a bit bizarre. Unfortunately, we were there at just after 1:00 in the afternoon, so the lighting in any of the places I might have been able to shoot someone was terrible, so I was stuck with this area.

I missed this.

That is a wonderful use of line, shape and colour. I find it mesmerising.

Cool shot Manfred, I'd just crop a bit off the bottom. The little grey corner distracts me a bit.

Like this Manfred, but i do think you should have removed all the stickers from the seats prior to shooting

One that even Donald wouldnt want in B&W
