untitled hand rail 2

Posted by danthro (Suburbia, United States) on 3 July 2008 in Art & Design and Portfolio.

yesterday, i got an e-mail from someone saying i'd been the first to comment on their new blog, which made me wonder who the first person to comment on my blog was. i remember having been excited to get a comment but had forgotten who left it. so i went to my 'comments' section, clicked 'view all' and had to hit 'next' 98 times, upon which I discovered that, on October 27, 2007, the first commenter on my blog was.... Daryl (aka Daroru)! thought i would say thanks!

sorry i'm not able to catch up on everyone's blogs as i'd like to, focusing on other pursuits more now.

Comments, feedback, criticism, suggestions, etc. are always appreciated. Thanks!

A very nice detail, very well composed with the diagonal coming from the right upper corner. And beautiful colours and textures.

Perhaps it's just me, and as silly as this sounds as I read your description I teary eyed. Interesting concept, this world of cyberspace we live in...nice capture.

I LOVE this! The texture and tones are amazing! Nice light, too. :)

Sorry I haven't been around the last few days...trying to catch up.

@Melissa W.: thanks a lot! glad you like it--and the light too, from the light master herself--a great compliment :)
that's ok, figured as much, but missed your photography

Scarabaeus from Manchester, United Kingdom

Stunning textures, the light is cleverly used too.

there's an easier way, danthro, to go back to that 1st comment. click on img at the top right, and then click back through each of the calendars. if, for example, you click on the 1st of june, then may will show. 1st of may, april will show. assuming you haven't been on here for too long, you should be able to work your way back with 10 or so clicks.

anyway, nice image here. love the metallic texture.

@paulski: thanks, you're right, but i wasn't sure which image was the first one to get a comment.

Marcie from United States

Terrific abstract. The steel handrail is very detailed, while the background has gritty 3D effect. Good work Dan.

Terrific detail, composition and textures ... that sliver of reflective light really highlights the metallic surface ... the deep contrast is excellent, as well
