Confined coldness

Coldness confined by hot bars...

an interesting contrast hot/cold saturated / not very saturated colour, it is quite an interesting picture and concept, unfortunately the shadows is a bit distracting and if the bars could be just a little wider apart, and not showing the screws basically more like cell bars perhaps that is what you had in mind ?

Actually, I didn't had anything in mind in terms of seeing a certain message here. I was just stopped by the play of warm and cold, of bar and room in between, of light and shadow. I thought a bit about the screws, but I liked them there, for they provide a link back to reality. Without them, the shot becomes something that could easily be rendered instead of photographed. It was a self painted chair standing in the sun, when the shadow started to sneak upon it - and looking at all those contrasting aspects made me take the shot.

thanks & cheers

aha a chair was it I was certainly fooled then as I thought that was a fence or something

I love the idea, especially since there is such a strong blue / orange contrast.  The shadow is a bit distracting since it seems to be stuck in a sort of limbo in between cutting across the photo dynamically, and a static shadow hanging out at the bottom of a photo.  At it's current state it gives the photo a bit of a bottom-heavy feel.  Perhaps if the photo were to be rotated 90º one way or the other it wouldn't have the heavy feel and add to the contrast.  I still do enjoy the abstractness and simplicity of it.

Thank you for your feedback. Yeah, I can see the bottom weight of the scene and playing with rotation and mirroring could provide different, interesting views.
