Description
This piece was taken from The Shard, London, using the lensbaby composer pro with the sweet 35 optic. All effects are done in camera - no manipulation involved.The grey-ish strips that look like roads are actually train tracks above the buildings. I will leave the rest to you, including the title of this piece.

They're such pretty streaks of light! I like the bright orange shards on top of the dark purple background! The perspective is nice, too.

The color combination is an interesting one.

That is really quite interesting! I like the twists and turns, and the choice of colours (and also application of the colours) is excellent.

It's really quite electrifying.

Gosh it is impossible to work this out but that's why it's so lovely, the arrows are fantastic as well as the rhythm of the whole thing, the way it spirals. Fab!

Thank you very much! You are right in that there is a sense of rhythm with it all.

I really like the composition and colors here. There's that wavy line that swoops down from the top left to the bottom right, with the different blues/golds and arrow shapes directing eyes across the piece, gives it a strangely calm feel. It oddly reminds me of an x-mas tree (and the smell of cookies and hot-chocolate)
Looking at it upside down I think I can just about make out the buildings (I think I can see the train tracks too)? But that makes me wonder about the title - one thing I haven't done in London is ride the double decker buses
Lovely photo

I like the composition and colours here too, once I finished with my fiddling with the piece.
It is interesting that you think it gives a strangely calm feel...I was thinking that the certain shade makes it more...something else. X-mas tree may be correct.
We didn't ride a double decker bus?!

I don't know - its hard to say. On the one hand, you can look at it as the motion in the bottom left of the picture calming towards the top right - on the other you can see it as the opposite
No one offered to take me on a Double Decker bus

Yes, there are different perspectives with it all.
They're not that great to ride on, is why.

Dude - can't say a double decker ride wouldn't be fun for an American (the novelty of it

I don't usually care for abstract photography, but this is pretty neat.

Thank you very much! There is a good sense of the abstract here, but I like to think there are other things too!

Exactly! Wouldn't it be something to face the world like this constantly?

Indeed, it would be like being in a futuristic SciFi movie almost.

That'd be quite intense. Maybe one day it will be reality!

This is an awesome abstract piece. It's colourful and festive, yet I get a feeling of paranoia/ being haunted at the same time.
(Just some thought popping up: Did I just forget my parachute, or is this a bad dream?... Oooh bright lights... Must...Not...Drop...Camera. In order to catch the bus, the bus must catch me)

That is really quite interesting, the feeling of paranoia/being haunted. I think it's something that is quite understandable. There are some elements here that lend to that, in a way.
Reminds me of modernist literature, in a way! Streams of consciousness and all.

Very nice. The lights are like arrows raining down. Did you shoot this through the glass roof of the mentioned double decker?
The colour contrast is great too: the whole piece almost seems like an abstract rendering of a futuristic (or very gothic) city.
Well done!Β

I shot this through a glass window of The Shard, which is a skyscraper in London. I wouldn't have achieved that much height from the double decker there, I'm afraid!
Thank you very much!

Ah, I did get the 'glass' part right
very very nice capture: well done

Wow, very beautiful! At first glance it looked like a sklyscape from tokyo

It is a sort of skyscape, so not far off there!
Thank you very much!
