Curves

These shots were all taken for the November/December (the previous winner was new to the group and had a hard time picking a winner, so we started and ended the challenge late) challenge on the Intense Photography Challenge group on Gather.com. The challenge was to photograph curves. I won the challenge, and my reward was to pick the challenge for January and be the judge. I picked "distorted reflections", i.e. reflections in water, glass, mirrors, whatever is a reflective surface, but they need to be distorted somehow (by ripples in water, broken window, wavy glass, one person has even done a double reflection through two glass doors). Heh, heh! I can be evil when I want to be!

I shot most of these on 11/12/08, and the last one (the actual winner) was shot on 11/18. I did these in black and white just because it felt right to do it that way. I really felt like I was channeling Ansel Adams for this.

And the winner is:
