Cup on a Wet Surface

Taken a few weeks ago whilst in the city whilst it was raining.

I was trying to frame the cup dramatically. Didn’t quite work, but I like the result. You’ve this interesting surface harmed by the cup being there, both from an environmental and aesthetic perspective.

This is my submission into the three hundred-and-sixty-third Lens-Artists Photo Challenge. The theme for this one is “Virtual Scavenger Hunt“.

I went for water.

The host of the Lens-Artists challenges cycles weekly between the following people:

Tina

Patti

Ann-Christine aka Leya

John Steiner

Sofia Alves

Anne Sandler

Egídio

Ritva

Beth

This one is curated by Anne. The next one is curated by Ritva.

I recommend joining the community and participating in the challenges. They’re pretty straightforward, allow room for interpretation, and provide a good way to think about photography in general. If not, however, then at the very least you should check out what others submit to the challenges.

I hope you enjoy.

    Thanks for playing SH! You have more than water in your image. I see a pattern and reflections. Great job!

  2. As Anne noted, it’s a three-for-one response, SH!

    It may not be dramatic, but it is certainly mysterious. Nicely done, SH.

    This is a great image, not least because it hits so many of the scavenged themes. But the line above makes for excellent framing. The design of the tiles is interesting in itself, but it also draws attention to the overturned bucket, which becomes the central element of the image. The lights and other reflections in the water add to the composition. All the aspects drive the viewer to ask, “Where is this place?” and “Where did that bucket come from?” And of course, there is no answer. A truly great image.
