Jimi Hendrix Memorial in Renton, Wa. Taken with a wide-angle converter on my Sony F707, converted to B & W, and then cleaned up extra noise in NeatImage. I expected to finally see a statue of Jimi inside the monument but they obviously have not added that yet.

I love the whispy sky, and the nice bright spot.

I would have been SO tempted to make it a purple duotone to take advantage of the perfect clouds for this subject!

Black and white works well here. Nice reflection off the roof too. It would have been cool to have the sky a mauve or faint purple (purple haze).

Nice tones, and composition, clouds are nice.

Very cool, I like the reflection of the sun on the top of the memorial. Good luck.

This is the most UN-Jimi Hendrix thing I have seen. Not your fault (unless you designed the memorial!), for I DO VERY MUCH ENJOY your photo. The sparkle of light, the point of view and the clouds really wake this up. Nice! 9

ghostly otherworldly

Jimi was definitely amazing, the composition is good, the streaking clouds work well on this, but the flash of light on the top is really distracting

Nicely picked up on the detail, nice and sharp image. The flare from the corner looks great here and only adds to the impact IMO. The B+W is great and you've picked out some nice detail in the sky too. Good luck.

Good shoot and use of sun
08/26/2003 11:10:43 AM
Wow.. i didnt even know it existed!!! Where is it???
08/26/2003 11:10:04 AM
This simply rocks! Best of the bunch by far! Long live Jimi!
08/26/2003 09:17:24 AM
Fantastic photo, the string like cloud formations are amazing and along with the sun glare on the monument kick this photo into a masterpiece!
08/26/2003 06:36:17 AM
I like the mood that the glare spot gives.
08/26/2003 05:31:46 AM
My favourite shot this challenge, and only 10. I've not come across this memorial, I wonder where it is? Beautiful sky and sun glare, this picture really seems to capture something that I think Hendrix would have 'dug'. Great composition and choice of wide angle. Great lighting. Thanks!
08/25/2003 04:10:47 PM
the highlite on the memorial and the sky's whispy clouds work very well..the color fits too. good job.(7)
08/25/2003 04:05:30 PM
I like nearly everything about this shot. I love the flare on the top of the monument. The clouds in the background add interest, and the angle this was shot at really works for me.
08/25/2003 08:29:49 AM
looking forward to the end of the challenge so I can read more about where this is. I had no idea he had such a monumental monumnet. The wispy clouds and the star glare are both nice touches adding to the spiritual and musical feel of the subject.
08/25/2003 07:14:57 AM
The clouds and shapes are wonderful but that bounce of light brings it down for me a bit
08/25/2003 12:22:58 AM
got to love this one since its a Hendrix memorial:D

is it in Seattle?
08/24/2003 09:35:12 PM
Cloud pattern is amazing and creates an aura around the monuument. Too bad the contrast is lacking making the image appear flat.
08/24/2003 09:02:25 PM
So many things to like in this image. The black and white is great, adds a nice moody feel. The light wisps of clouds gives it an ethereal feel. The composition is good, even centered. And you gotta love the light glare on the edge of the structure. A great homage to a great musician, and a great photograph!
08/24/2003 08:25:23 PM
very well done, I like all the aspects of this image !!!!! a 10
08/24/2003 08:18:03 PM
The image apepars to tilt ever so slightly to the right due to the chosen perspective, I like the sun flare, it adds something to the photo, I hope you don't get roasted for it. Good Luck.
