    Okay..this is the start of it..

    Through dirt-stained amber glasses
    I see the truth in your myriad of lies
    I see the beauty in your imperfections
    I see the story of your life.

    Will come back and finish it later :) Thanks for the inspiration!! HUGS

  • Lisa  Jewell

    I love this image so much, it gives me a sense of looking through the layers of a person’s life…from a voyeuristic vantage point.

    The colour is wonderful, the dancing light that allows the viewer to see inside the glasshouse is magic..

  • Cathleen Tarawhiti

    Cathleen Taraw...

    Wow, the angles and reflections are stunning.

  • Brett Foster

    Very cool image Mark. Great colour tone but I really like the almost/not quite/mystery of what lies beneath.

    Good tight image Mark. Any sepia here?

  • Mark German

    No, not at all, Mick. Just afternoon sun and dirty-glass filters :)
    Saturation and contrast were boosted slightly.

    Glad I don`t do Window! Atleast not those ones! It is neat I like the peaking through and seeing glimpses of things inside. Like trying to figure out what they are. mysterious. Just enough sunrays seep through to show a bit of what it holds, but not it all. Leaving you wondering. The refraction of the light is great! I like it! Good job!

    Thanks, guys :)

    Jeff – I ‘look’ at the most strangest of things…which often causes others to look strangely at me….
    Just this morning, I was locked out of my house, and waiting for a key to arrive. I ‘happened’ ( ; ) to have my gear on me, so I started taking shots of cracks in the road, which were filling with wattle blossoms. I’m sure people walking by thought I was a nut…but I got a few good shots :)

  • SylviaHardy

    It’s absolutely fantastic what subjects you can find and turn it into a work of art? Maybe I have to tell my husband that our house is a work of art if I let you come and photograph it? :-D

    I love this image, it struck me right away. Is this a greenhouse? It’s really fantastic how you captured the feeling of the sun coming through the glass.

  • Mark German

    Thanks for all the comments, all.

    Kerry – yep, a not-so-greenhouse :)
    I was on a tog-meet at the time, and got a little bored watching everyone taking macros of flowers. Partly because I have yet to get myself a macro lens :)

  • Bruce  Watson

    Bruce Watson

    Reminds me of the classic Polanski thriller ‘The Tenant’. I think he fell through something like this!
    A fine example of the photographer’s eye elevating the seemingly mundane.

  • Tony Moore

    Tony Moore

    Love the framing, very intrigueing, love the way you can just see in,
    the eye is drawn through the glass to see into the green house.
    Nicely taken, excellent light,
    Even the patternation of the glass has a real abstract feel to it.
    great work a brilliant addition to the AS IS group.
    well done
