... and just those little blues quietly sneak in from above, their intentions undisclosed... A surface of intense colors and lines all so interactive. Enrapting.

Border between two worlds? More and less complicated, in "different situations" shaped by surfaces, by conditions? All "tasted" by the very good shown shades. Could You explain me why You used so big f-stop (f=11) in this case? Surface is flat, so DOF isn't necessary in this case. Rgds, Artur

Hi Ulrich, the colors are pleasant and like the change in shade at the two sides of the big scratch. Also the way the the black streak ends there, looks good. Composition balanced with the marks at the right. One crib, I feel this could be sharper... I assume this is hand held, with poor lighting conditions and a very curved surface. Regards, Jayavel.

Enigmatic title - enigmatic scale - both intriguing. Colours make me think of planets shifting imperceptibly against one another. Brown marks become a metaphor for the apology you mention. After the heat of the argument has cooled a little - but while some barbed comments still leak into the conversation. Hell - at least they're talking now.

Intriguing abstract, and title, Ulrich.

Sorry for what???? Is it for the damage done by the three "bullets" or for the wound that caused the scar running vertically from the top to the bottom of the picture?

Could be, as well, for the the three brown "strokes" that mar an otherwise reddish pink wall or, for that matter, for the lost spermatozoa swimming aimlessly through a never ending sea.

Ahh, but the apology could have been for simply posting this enigma and making me wax poetical as if I have nothing better to do ;)

Cheers, Rick.
