Title: The Mall
Post by: BobDavid on March 03, 2017, 06:28:32 pm
I'm not a shopper, so going to any mall is like a field trip.

Andy Warhol is just around the far corner  ;)

The exterior shot is a stunner.  Very ominous. I wouldn't have had any idea that it was a shopping mall, it could be the entrance to a nuclear facility...or the Ministry of Truth?

Yeah, that exterior is a stunner on several levels (npi), not least the optical illusion one, where you'd be forgiven for thinking that the spindles could never hold it up!

Nice one; nice series and direction of travel, too.

I like the Ministry of Truth as a title.

And the Blue light and yellow lines go so well together. Superb image, draws you right in.

I love the first one, it takes a few seconds to imagine what it's all about.

Yeh, the first one is amazing.  The sense of isolation and doom is very strong considering this place is for people and commerce.  Great composition.

The first one seems to be saying, "Come and buy! Resistance is futile!"

Good, clean looking images to the point of sterility, which I suspect you were after. Nice work.
