Eternal Reflection

Eternal Reflection

This is a photo of part of a monument to missing people. It’s made of beaten steel with an eternal flame at the top. I took this at deep dusk, the gold is the light of the flames on the steel. I added a little more saturation and made the temperature a little colder to get the abstract effect I wanted.

    Yep – it’s the composition that does it for me. You have a real knack that I do not possess of consistently taking great photos.. PS I have no clue as to what you and iAN are blathering on about!

  • Jeannette Sheehy replied

    Ian said that he wanted to say that I took a bloody good photograph, and I thanked him saying, thank you friend. I have forgotton how to talk pidgin and I don’t speak it so well now. (it’s the common language in Papua New Guinea) (read it again and it will make sense!) Thanks so much for the comment as well…but you should see the bad photos I’ve had to delete!!!! :)
