Cone City Bokeh
Posted by JJ (Jersey City, United States) on 16 November 2008 in Abstract & Conceptual and Portfolio.
After a few nature related photos thought a change in subject was needed, so heres 1 I took in Manhattan a week and a bit ago, was with a friend and he spotted this cone on top of a limo and I thought was worth a shot and this is what I got
Thank you for taking the time to visit. I really appreciate all your comments, and welcome any critique as I am learning the art of photography, and having a blast with it
Getting ready for a work trip from the 29th so may not be able to check all your posts but will do as and when I can

Brilliant! Abstract, vibrant, opportunist, and it works on every level. I would not even have seen this, and walked on by!

@FLOOG: To be honest I probably would have as well this was on a walk around the city with a visiting family member also into photography and he spotted this

Looks like the cone's having a street party! I would never have thought that you could do so much with one of these. Exellent image. Great presentation!

It glows, it glimpses... it shines through my eyes... ! I wouldn't believe that a simple cone could be so photogenic. Brilliant sense of composition !

Nice eye and creative title...very saturated color on the cone. Like the reflection off the limo's roof.

This morning, at the time of my fast visit of the mosaic of the posted photographs, this one jumped me to the eyes, not to say that it impregnated me the brain. The colors are super-saturated, but finally this object used isn't to be considering? From where excellent framing, indeed, one should not miss it. And all that, because the lights of the city are omnipresent. Finally, a photograph of circumstance which translates the life of this cone ;)

Yikes! I love orange cones and when I saw this - I near jumped. Very good. Fantastic composition and depth-of-field.

If it wasn't for the base, I'd have guessed this was the inside of a lava lamp
