Army Of Light

Description


Surrounded by the shadows of my life
When my soul is blinded by the dark
I search for the power to show me the way
I find my personal army of light

And there could be only one light
Showing me the path to a better place
My soul will embrace it and multiply it
Into an army of lights to light me on my way


****

All those lights you see are actually one row of lights, duplicated in reflections from both sides. The light row is in-between escalators glasses, and that makes the effect.
This was taken in the fine art museum in Washington D.C. A few people saw me took that shot from a very weird angle (that's what it took to get the good prespective) and actually thought I needed help… No manipulation, straight from the camera.

Wow, this is hypnotizing!
I love the repetition of everything here and how the reflexions seem to lead my sight in all directions where the lights never end.
The depth of field and framing is perfect: you first concentrate on the first central light and then you can "expand" your vision.
Even though I like literally everything about this photo (the frame included - it suits the picture so well), but what stands out the most (in my opinion) are the colours. The deep contrast between the light and the dark (or rather the dark and the light) matched by these green tones makes the "army" seem really frightening. No other colour (than green) would make this effect as strong.
Great idea, great title, great overall effect! Congratulations! :clap:
