This is nice. Has a Mondrian vibe.
@lphilpt : Thanks!
This one was shot immediately after the first one (_image.01) from the series posted earlier. I turned around after making that shot and was confronted with this.
Personally I like the first one a bit better. The layering, light-fall and the way the planes interact is more pleasing in my opinion.

I agree, itâs more interesting and engaging. But this one immediately evoked Mondrian for me. 
And I do like the âspot colorâ of the sky against the various grey tones.

And it gives an indication of the expected orientation when hanging for display.

Thatâs a really interesting observation. I think when âweâ get a camera in our hands weâre totally tied up with âall the technically correct requirements of a good photoâ, so we make sure the exposure is correct, the composition is meaningful, ISO, shutter speed, aperture, stance etc etc etc⌠only to hand your very expensive camera to your kid and be horrified at their casual and playful âjust shootâ and do what ever.
Some of the best photos of a graduation day for one of the kids were the ones that her sibling took when they had my camera. Mine⌠well, technically they were âcorrectâ. Fun? Nope.

Read about this on one of the Dutch news sites about 2 weeks ago.
I find the reason why they, the museum, are not going to fix their mistake interesting: Gravity might loosen the tape even further if turned 180 degrees. Iâm curious if this canât be restored/fixed in an acceptable manner.
The itâs now part of the story reason is utter bull in my opinion, though.
If gravity is a problem, they can display it flat with a 45° mirror.
Haha, having worked with quite a few models of art galleries (for designing the building or a show), I remember an occasion where we, in the very last moment before a client meeting, noticed we hung a Mark Rothko painting upside down. Had to very quickly and discreetly flip it. Same thing had to be done in Photoshop (sorry Gimp) for a photograph of another model.
I like it. The hand smudge is interesting⌠my first thought (sorry!) was 'mmm⌠pity the window wasnât clean⌠but then I looked again, and itâs a real element of the photo. Sorry Iâm not expressing this better but I found it interesting how the picture almost changed while I looked 
The funny thing is that I only saw the hand smudge in post-processing
Just goes to show⌠I canât think what the photo was of now⌠but Iâve done exactly the same thing - got something in the photo that I didnât know was there when I took it but it makes all the difference to the photo 
Last night running late on my way homeâŚ
Can you work out whatâs happening here? 
The processing isnât quite right - I might revisit it later. Never mind!

Long exposure? Vehicle arriving?

Hi Claes, youâre half right⌠any more guesses anyone?
Definitely long exposure, given the star trails. Motorcycle, bicycle comes up, turns around and leaves? Beautiful location, by the way.

Thanks Len Yes itâs a nice spot. I usually seem to pass here in full daylight which leaves things looking a bit flat⌠this is better - I think!
Both you and Claes are correct as to the long exposure (30seconds) but neither of you are entirely correct as to the lights on the road. Both quite close though
