A study of city lines

[inneist]

was really moved when reading a line from Balzac:

"une vie terne et grise... où l'absence de toute émotion était une félicité."

So I share with you this illumination. Indeed time is gray.

The composition and tone are great, but for some reason I keep trying to bring the clock into focus and my head is starting to ache.

Did you keep everything blurred on purpose?

OWWW My brain *trying to focus* ....... to me It's just an out of focus picture of a clock right now. Maybe I'm too young and I'm missing the message. Please explain it to me :crazy:

Honestly, going straight into reading the hours can make me uncomfortable. The psychological distance that an out-of-focus photo, such as this one, offers turns out to be an instance of felicity of impression for me. That's what I thought.

Sorry for the eye sore. Does this one look less befuddling?

i think it is much easier to look at with the clock in focus...but don't know if you were trying to do something by making it blurred.

 

[inneist]

While the clock is in focus, the perceived lines fade. So I prefer the B&W outline more.

Thanks for your comment.

I also prefer the blurred one, though it might benefit by not being quite SO blurred. It has a nice, old feel to it

 

[inneist]

You sent me right into re-editing the photo.

I made some small adjustment. Thanks, it now appears in the way that I conceived.
