Description "The Memorial, designed by New York architect Peter Eisenman, is created by 2,711 gunmetal grey reinforced concrete stelae, each uniquely positioned on a uniform grid to form a wave like progression across undulating topography which drops to as much as 2.4m below surrounding street level in places. All of the stelae have an identical plan dimension of 2.38 x 0.95m, although they vary in height from 0 to 5m, progressing from the field's boundary to the central areas." more?[link]

edit: some gaussian blur added, I don't know if I do like the result though.

its just a personal opinion, its clear its not real blur that cameras provide.

ive experimented with it before, and theres pieces in my gallery that used it too, but my tastes have changed and i really dont like it.

but thats just photoshopping and can be removed if you change your mind later on, the acutal photo is still pretty cool

i know what you mean, i never do this kind of editing. but in this case this is how I wanted to have taken the picture in the first place, but those lens just didn't do the job

Adorei a perspectiva....
De facto é pena a não-prensença de algo para fazer escala... gosto muito do fundo mais desfocado .. parece dar a sensação de infinito

Are you surprised that I like the symmetry? I thought not.

Eu, pessoalmente, acho que a escala é muito relativa neste caso porque está num nível de abstracção tal que até merece uma reflexão quanto, não à escala real mas quanto a uma hipotetica escala. Porque não poderia ser uma cidade? porque não um pedaço de piso e haver formigas?


Cumprimentos!
