@morganwriter1gmail-com… I remember when I got visit the inside of the space needle! I was ten years old, and I brought my little point and shoot and took some photos, then later I traveled to the East Coast and got a lot of pictures of the Statue of Liberty… and then very painfully learned the hard way why we photographers regularly transfer photos on the computer instead of leaving them on the card (my card was formatted unexpectedly…).
Yeah, on the lines of your Space Needle picture, I think one of the things that makes it pop so much as an abstract is that you almost have a fibonacci type spiral thing going for you (like if I took a picture of a pine cone). On top of that, that roundness is contrasted abruptly and harshly with the big straight steel beams. The cars add a sense of scale and place and make the image interesting because it shows that you are in a skyscraper. I think one of the other things that makes your image interesting is that we all look straight up at skyscrapers. You show a view looking straight down from a skyscraper. That makes it unusual and thus interesting to look at!
Good job for an accidental pic! I’ll have to look for contrasting patterns to see if I can’t come up with something similar.
