Through

The Story

I tried several different concepts for the topic of "Through". The one that nearly made it was a shot of a beaded curtain taken in Camden Market, but when I downloaded it from the camera, unfortunately the I hadn't managed to make the required sacrifice to the gods of the steady hand, and it was just too fuzzy to use.

So I started to go through my archives and wound up with several alternatives. I hadn't realised I had such a thing about taking photos through objects.

I kept coming back to one though - this one - a beautiful golden sunset, picking out the skyline of North London, taken through the partially open window at the top of the building I lived in at the time.

Comments

Another fine shot.
I like the framing of this shot. Very neat, using ratio of thirds, which adds impact in both horizontal and vertical frames.
Tonal balance is perfect for this shot.

I agree, another stunner. Really nice colours, not too over the top with the saturation.
