Warped World Photo

Photographer’s Note

This is the Crown Fountain installation at Chicago's Millennium Park designed by Jaume Plensa. The main features are these two fifty-foot block of glass on which faces of ordinary Chicagoans are projected on a giant LCD screen. During the warmer months, water cascades over the block and the granite floor is covered with about a half inch of water creating an illusion that it is deep but you can walk on it. Every fifteen minutes or so, the face purses its lips and out spout water. Always an attraction to kids.

Hi Chicago Buddy!
A very interesting effect of using fish eye lens. I love the idea of including two fountains and faces in one picture. By the way - the contrast in the expressions of those faces is amazing.
For a perfect photo I would need something else here - a little more interesting sky.
Take care

Nice city image, Ken
Your choice of lens make an interesting image. The good composition idea that put the giant posters of faces on both sides made this shot looks terrific.
Nice shot.

Hi Ken,
Well done and quite creative. I like the presence of the two faces in your photo.

Funny shot. I like your vantage point including both faces quite clearly. I also like the look of the buildings in the background. The sharpness is really good.
