Image Worship Photo

Photographer’s Note

Walking down the streets I looked up at
the outlined sun-lit white cloudy stripes
in the sky when passing by this traffic sign.

And I saw the ordinary transformed
into something extraordinary,
seeing the world trough a camera shot and
the worship of an image in a daily life.

Post processed into BW, some more contrast and a little bit less brightness to capture the special mood of this image.

Check its original edition in color with sign off-center, no post processing.
I think this picture is a great colormotif as it´s converted to B&W.

What do you think?

Interesting perspective and combination of subjects. Did you try different compositions? E.g. with the sign off-center?

Hi Silja,

Wow such powerful lines in your image! I really love this composition with your sign being placed in the center. It would have looked very different off-center that it might be interesting to see as well. The clouds in the sky definitely adds on a sense of drama. I think this image works perfectly well with black and white due to its strong lighting contrast. Good job!

hi silja, this is a great example of how simple ingredients, a traffic sign and clouds, that anyone can find anywhere, can create a powerful image. great composition, well seen!

Beautiful composition and good choice of the B&W.
The strips of the road sign seem to continue in the sky...
Well done
