PotW 11 December 2007

Postby the foto fanatic on Tue Dec 11, 2007 9:12 am

This week's PotW is actually three images.

It is the series from NJ called "Parliament Station", originally posted here.

I like all three because of their life in a modern city theme, their cool tones and futuristic feel, and I believe that they work very well in combination. I do though, especially like #1, where you seem to observe all these people unhappily descending into some sort of virtual hell. Who knows, maybe it is a real hell they're heading to.

Congratulations NJ for this fine work.

Here are the three images again.

I can't help but notice the amount of stainless steel in these, very striking photographs.

Nice trio, and well deserved POTW, congrats.
