4th - "Absolutely Curtains"

Cheltenham, Glos

(from the 1972 album, Obscured By Clouds)

Mmm, bit of a Plain Jane shot this morning...as a bloke, I can't really get worked up about the humble curtain (soft furnishings aren't really my thing, no matter how hard I try!) but I did like the patterns the late afternoon sun was making on these nets. I debated long and hard between a simple colour pic or this slightly treated version, but then remembered that this is a Pink Floyd Challenge...d'oh, unaltered and plain are just NOT allowed!

And phew! back to dry land and the safety of my prime lens - felt a bit giddy with that 70-300mm zoom on the front the other night...whoa! don't want to be doing that too often!

like the dof in this picture and surely curtains are men things: it already starts with the design!

Nice use of the shallow DoF.

Soft things aren't your thing??? What about us women....we are soft and sweet...well, maybe some of us! I do love it!

Mysterious and arty, I love it.
It's brought out your feminine side!

I love the way we get lost and tangled, in the sharp and black middle part of the image. Vµ

Oh, yeah ... great angle on this - brings out the texture and a feel for the infinite nature of Pink Floyd.

Great shot with these patterns, shadows and light which gives this such a dreamy feel. I'm not a curtain guy myself, but this is a fine shot Doug. "V"

Beautiful and very well done in monochrome, so the texture and the shades are wonderful.

Magnificent capture for curtains! I think you missed your calling as an interior decorator!

Very decorative - you've missed your calling! Absolutely curtains!

oh Doug...your such a guy... LOL !!! You have to agree the humble curtain has provided you with a cracker of a shot !! Love it.
