As photographers, we are always watching and appreciating the beauty, intrigue, and subtlety that surrounds us. But, Gerard, you see beyond what is seen by even those who are looking, are trained, and have insight. This is such a splendid capture. I chuckle with joy at the mastery depicted here. Thanks for sharing!

gerard sexton Those who know me well will confirm that it is rare to find me stumped for words but after reading this little passage of praise I can assure you I am. Thank you I treasure feedback like this & in moments of doubt will pause & recollect it as it will always spur me on.

I totally agree with Prateek. And you are well on your way with this series.
I so hope to see more of these, Gerard. They're excellent. And the colors in this one are wonderful. Curious to know... can you pull this off in snow?

Mandy

gerard sexton Mandy nice to hear from you again. Well yes Pra has a point & I intend taking some time to explore it. Thanks for such positive feedback. Have a nice weekend.

This is really great.Wonderful shot Gerard. A whole series and style can be built on this kind of perspective.

gerard sexton I think so Pra I am currently inactive my cameras lie dormant with such grey skies here in London. I cannot wait to get out & shoot. You have though given me an idea that I can explore further. Thank you my friend.

Great abstract!

gerard sexton Thanks Willy. Thanks for stopping by & leaving a comment.

gerard sexton Thank you Leif appreciate your feedback. I did ponder the category on uploading it but thought to leave it in Everyday since this is an everyday scene (well every wet day).

gerard sexton Jacob it means a great deal to have you pass on that one word! Thanks for the favourite too!

barbara 2 years ago

i like shots like this, so well seen...
congratulations!

gerard sexton Thank you Barbara off the wall but thought provoking I thought it could also be used as an image in a campaign to leave your car safe! as normal public response to a person in a hood is thief or low life!

Frederick Lim Cung Wei 2 years ago

unusual yet amazing..

gerard sexton Thanks Frederick & judging by the screening feedback some find images like this far too abstract. I can only take what I see! Have a nice weekend.

So simple but so magical...

gerard sexton Balazs I am once more hounoured at your feedback if only it was always this way....have a nice weekend. By the way I just got a text from Andre with a photo of a bottle of beer & the sandy beaches of Plettenburg bay. That guy has really got all the luck!

limawhisky 2 years ago

how brilliant you are to get this idea... great one Gerard!
cheers, Unggul

gerard sexton Unggul thank you for such high praise. It was indeed so rewarding to see this published a shot out of nothing manually focused to create the suggestion of what is the other side of the glass & focused on the screen my problem was the lens kept getting steamed up & I was frantically wiping away the moisture to keep the clarity! My luck was the time & that played into my hands as the light was so poor the few car lights just added the colour.

Mindaugas Barkus 2 years ago
