Hi Jan,
first I tought this was climbingrope, since our hoses here are green but certainly not blue. At a closer look yes then I saw that the title covered the picture. Indeed an abstract, but a good one!
Great my friend & grtz,
Alain

Patrizia-- many thanks for viewing and commenting on this photo. I just left a comment on a recent posting of yours that impressed me so much.
You are correct, the hose is an off-white and not blue. The early morning light was blue-ish and I accented the blue more so by slightly shifting the color temperature when converting from RAW to Photoshop.
--Best regards, Jan

Patrizia Patdil {K:3079} 11/19/2006

Nice composition! I like the blue also because it does not seem the colour of the “hose” but more the quality of light.

obrigado pelo comentário.

Ed Francis {K:1165} 10/23/2006

Ahhh... rememeber that frame is only a bunch of pixels holding hands ... look out! Don't worry, I just have a circus going on in my head most of the time - comes from being a primary school teacher for decades - one day, if ever I retire, I think I'll start writing kids' picture books.
Ed

Jan Hoffman {K:39467} 10/23/2006

Ed-- Wow! You have given me a fresh look at the "Hose". Not sure I want to walk by it in the dark anymore after hearing how you perceive it. lets hope that frame holds it in check :)
--Best to you, Jan

Jan Hoffman {K:39467} 10/23/2006

Thanks so much for your kind words! The hose reel sure does not have the beauty and appeal of Karlita :)
I do like capturing every day objects that we don't notice, as we see them every day in plain and simple places. Thanks for seeing that in this photo.
--Best regards, Jan

Ed Francis {K:1165} 10/23/2006

Well Jan, here's a very subjective response to this image - a non technical one. How an image makes us feel is really important imho. It looks like it's something alive! Quite surreal. I like the frame being so solid (there, everyone is different!)- it gives a feeling that this 'alive' whatever it is that's 'in there' is somehow safely contained - as though its world and ours should not really mix.
Ed

Wonderful use of the light makes a not very interesting subject in an incredibly interesting one!

Very nice Jan! Regards

Michele-- thanks so much for your comments. I was surprised to get positive feedback on this so... who knew? I do have to get out more with the camera, though.
Best to you, Jan

Annemette- thanks so much for the kind words. I obviously don't get out much and don't get the breathtaking airplane shots - but then, how could I find such an attractive hose while flying?
--best to you, jan

Annemette Rosenborg Eriksen {K:55244} 10/7/2006

This looks excellent! A simple hose looking so good due to the angle, colour and the black framing. Well done!
Best wishes,
Annemette

Jan Hoffman {K:39467} 10/5/2006

hmm

also the colours and the presentation

Jan Hoffman {K:39467} 10/3/2006

Christine-- Thanks for your kind words. The only color adjustment was made for color source/balance when I imported the RAW file into Photoshop. The photo was shot in shade in the afternoon and had a slight blue appearance in reality. By shifting the Kelvin degrees a bit on the RAW more blue was emphasized.
--Regards, Jan

C.A. Mikulice {K:13300} 10/3/2006

wonderfully seen, Jan. it's amazing that you could look at such a mondane object as this hose and see the great potential for a really nice photo. Did you use anything to get the blue cast?

An original idea for sure!
The roll I have in my backyard sure doesn't look anything like this.

Great colors and good idea!
