Oooh...I like this! I'm gonna look at the companion piece but I may not be able to comment until tomorrow. Anyway, I love the angle of this and the title made me think of all of the space-station stories I've both read and written over the decades in which the "overhang" was that bit of space-station real estate that follows the space station's rotation-curve and loops overhead so that you're standing on the ground, looking up at...well...the ground. It presents a nice sort of perceptual disorientation that actually compliments this photograph. I know what I'm looking at and where I'd likely be standing in order to see it, but there's a faint shift that violates the "flatlander" view I'm accustomed to. Something is at an angle, but I can't quite put my finger on it, and so I'm compelled to explore a bit more. THAT is what is so fun about photography, and this is a perfect illustration of that funness. This rocks.

Great. Colour version looks less photographic but more architectural. Well done

Love it! This adds a whole new dimension to the image. Wonderful honey color although the patterns are more prominent in black and white

The colour is superb and although I do like black and white I think I prefer this image.

Gosh! You are right about the spatial thing, I really thought I was looking DOWN in the mono version. I like them both, but I love the warmth of these colours.

With your description, I completely get what the image is about! Not only a good shot, but that was a challenging perspective to describe and words did not fail you! I didn't see the B&W version.

Amazing shot!

So I was seeing it in the right perspective for once :-) YAY! :)))And this is very beautiful too and yet, I think your first choice, the monocrome, was the best :) The monocrome doesn´t disturb all the angles and the geometric feeling :) The colored version had other fortunes though. The beautiful wooden colors.

Yes! the same thing but coloured! It is more clean and technic but less artistic. Bravo for this capture Tara!

Both images convey the symmetry of the building. I like both

Gosh Tara, I had no idea I had such influence over you... :o) I love the warmth of the colours (I live in a timber house) and the arched neck perspective (almost Escherian). However, I must agree with some of the earlier comments that the monochrome version is more artistic. There's more information here, but the B&W version stretches the imagination that bit more.

Superb capture Tara. God Bless.

oh yes, I like this one even more !

As long as you didn't get dizzy looking up and fall...I think this is an excellent capture, very cool and so beautiful. I wish my entire home was like this tone and wood. As for the word color, I grew up spelling it color but see many spell it the other way...lol So I suppose its all how you knew it to be. Beautiful post Tara!

i have to say i prefer the black and white in this instance

Like this one much better...beautiful wood

Us here in OZ spell it: 'colour' - the correct English way and it's difficult to revert to the American way, for us 'Oldies' - but it's slowly creeping into our school systems now as well ... like many other 'things' - not all good ;) About this overhang, I have something to compare it with now - yesterdays post! and off the cuff I must admit, that I prefer this with it's warm tones and wood-grain. BB

Both are wonderful but to me the B&W seems to be more artistic! Great capture!!

the glow is fabulous. I think I could back up to this golden wood on a winter's day and warm my backside...simply lovely view.

Oh I love the reflection of the beautiful blue sky. :)))))) I also like this in color. :)))))) The wood is very beautiful. :)))))) Most excellent capture in color also. :))))) Thank you for sharing all of the beauty you see. :)))) Carry A Smile In Your Heart :))))

Even the colour version is very nice, but I prefer the one in B/W... it's more interesting! :)

Great image I got up some new ones would love for you to drop by Hugs Susan~

I just KNEW this was going to be so warm and lovely! Wow! Now I'm really having a hard time deciding which I like better! I'm leaning towareds the color/colour version for the delicious warm wood tones. Gorgeous, Tara!

I love this version with the beautiful colour of the wood and the lovely reflections.

Interesting composition with simple things

I like the warm golden wood tones in this version & I generally have a strong preference for color, but in this case I think the B&W version works better as a composition that reveals the underlying abstract geometry in a very powerful way. Plus, the spatial disorientation (which I liked) has pretty much been eliminated with the re-introduction of real world color cues...

I'm going to have to jump on the colour bandwagon (and I spell it with a "u" after too many years of being married to an Englishman and now dating one--it's easier than arguing about what's proper!) Love the warm tones in this one, and I don't think you lose too much of the woodgrain patterns. Overall a beautiful capture!
