A small change of your point of reference can change your perspective quite a lot

Sorry Armand.  I don't understand your point.  Would you explain?  Alan.

The second it's more about a different point of view and I liked how the image is doubled and the distance between the doubles feels that increases as you move farther giving you a galaxy-like view or like an explosion. I can understand why many would fail to see it this way.


The first set I thought it's obvious. It wasn't planned but I was surprised that the same 3 windows look so different with just a very small change in my relative position (I was on a boat), I was reminded of Rashomon.

I had the first one figured out OK, but I didn't know just how you did the second. But that doesn't matter. As images, the second one is my favorite. In the first set, the idea's fine but the results look a bit murky to me.

P.S. I do appreciate images that ask me to think for more than two seconds.

Second one: when you go up on the Space Needle, don't just shoot down like everybody else (and I did my share) but turn around and focus on the reflections in the windows.

You are doing some fascinating stuff with reflections these days, Armand. Keep 'em coming!

The first serie of three is very interesting ! I did spend a reasonable amount of time looking at each of them.

Thank you.
Unfortunately the first it's not that sharp, although that's how I discovered the rapid change in reflections, as I had to take another shot because the first was not sharp.
