Abstract in GreyOne of the newer buildings in the CBD is the Brisbane Magistrates Court. The structure is impressive, and so is the large artwork outside the front entrance on George Street. I particularly like the repetition of the pattern and the highly reflective grey surface generates interesting tones in the soft light of early morning (OM4, Tamron SP35-80 f2.8 towards the long end, f8, 1/125, HP5). Where different surfaces meet there is a slightly bevelled edge that provides a nice highlight, even though the whole sculpture is constructed of one material in one colour. The sculpture is located within a garden, so I decided to leave the tuft of grass in the bottom right of the frame. I am still not sure if the composition would be stronger without its inclusion — tell me what you think …

... well, despite the almost tortuous twists and turns the sculptor has imparted to this metalwork, I personally find the undulating lines captured in your image soothing to the eye. The tuft of grass is so small that I think its effect on the composition is negligible. The OM4 guided by your ever-increasing experience with all things shiny and metallic has indeed done a wonderful job capturing a lovely range of tones. Almost make me want to rise early and attempt something similar.... almost.
