Description
This image was part of a series of experimental shots using a crystal ball to either magnify part of the image or reflect the surroundings or both. This is the 181 station of the A train in Manhattan photographed through my crystal ball and then digitally "painted".
Per Wikipedia: Abstract photography, sometimes called non-objective, experimental, conceptual or concrete photography, is a means of depicting a visual image that does not have an immediate association with the object world and that has been created through the use of photographic equipment, processes or materials. An abstract photograph may isolate a fragment of a natural scene in order to remove its inherent context from the viewer, it may be purposely staged to create a seemingly unreal appearance from real objects, or it may involve the use of color, light, shadow, texture, shape and/or form to convey a feeling, sensation or impression. The image may be produced using traditional photographic equipment like a camera, darkroom or computer, or it may be created without using a camera by directly manipulating film, paper or other photographic media, including digital presentations.

This photo is so captivating, Sarah!! The bold rendering and the crystal ball effect offer an amazing abstract-arquitectural feel. L/F
