Lovely shot, My Dear Friend! xo

Cool shot Shelly! Reminds me of watch straps somehow ;)

BlackLemonz
Fantastic abstract photograph.
Shelly Hiebert replied
Thanks you BlackLemonz! I always love your comments :)
monocotylidono
Very nice! Apart form the texture and tones, I like the fact that the lines don’t really line up! It gives it a very strong 3-dimensional feel.
Shelly Hiebert replied
I like that too George! Sort of messes with your head and makes it a bit more interesting. Thanks kindly for your comment :)
Gary Murison
Stunning image Shelly. You are making great use of the Sigma 10-20mm. I like your shooting angle and the curves of the benches. Keep up the good work.
Shelly Hiebert replied
Thanks Gary! Unfortunately I have to return it today but it was sure great to have it and play with it a bit. Thanks for your support :)
Clare Forder
Wow – that is flattering! You’re a girl after my own heart with those tones :)
Shelly Hiebert replied
Hehe! I thought of you when I was finished with this, like I said it has that Clare Flare ;)

blueeyesjus
My pleasure Shelly, it really is a stunning piece, I was going to suggest you enter it in the “bench” challenge in the “compact group” group but I see this was a DSLR job, pity it would have won i think….

Your mono work is great, and i hope you do more stuff like this. This is one of my favs of yours !
Shelly Hiebert replied
Thanks so much Ric! I really appreciate that :) I am kind of all over the map with my photography but I do hope to do more of this sort of work in the future. Cheers for the fave as well :)
Ric Alexander
Ive noticed when i looked at your page how varied it is, nothing wrong with that though. Your welcome BTW, I came onto redbubble because people commented just to have comments and higher ratings on their own work. I cannot do that, i will only comment on images i like. IMO, this image deserved it.
Shelly Hiebert replied
Wow…..thank you so very much again Ric :)
