What a great idea!Bright bold colors that we say most everyday and never notice! I like the abstract effect of this shot and the staurated colors very much! Great spot with this one!

A really eye-catching shot, Steve - well spotted and expertly executed.  So that's what goes on behind closed doors at the office when you're "in a meeting"!  Kind regards, Anna

Great contrasting colours Steve. very well thought out.

Graham

Very well done abstract, Steve - love the vivid colour - RB

Great abstract, Steve.  I could imagine the office talk when you locked that door ....lol!  Cheers Jo

Very pleasing picture Steve; even better that the boss paid for it without knowing. Is locking the office door and adjusting the lighting something you are given to? Howard

Great abstract Steve, love the colours, take Care Linda

Very good abstract Steve, the colours really stand out.. Well done, Take care Mark

It's great that you are taking pictures even when at work!! Great abstract Steve, love the colour arrangment and the tight crop. Really pleasing result. Zuzana

LOL, The thought of you creeping off with a box of straws under one arm and your camera on the other into a locked office with adjusted lighting......Brilliant, the things we do for art,lol, Back to the shot, great colourful piece , well spotted, framed and executed mate. The superb storyline of how you got this shot is a classic. Steve

Thank you all for visiting and your encouraging comments.  Can I say that my tendancies for distraction and deviation at work have been greatly exaggerated...lol!  At least if my manager is reading this anyway...lol!  Cheers, Steve.

LOL... hiding behind them wont save the job mate...lol. A great idea and result. well done
Donny

So you've turned into a closet straw shot taker and then used one of them to drink the youth elixir, lol !!  Really super abstract shot Steve.
Regards, Tina.
P.S. If that's you in the avatar, did you do a breakfast show with Anne Diamond, lol !

Donny and Tina, thank you.  I hope my job is safe Donny or it's the last straw...lol!  Tina, well spotted...now you come to mention it...lol!  I can see the similarity.  Nick something wasn't it?  Someone was asking how long I've been into photography and I thought that avatar might illustrate it..lol!  Are you back in Blighty or posting overseas Tina?  Cheers, Steve.

This makes a colourful abstract Steve, well spotted and captured.
I like the 'hair' shot too........lol. Which camera is that you are holding?

Thanks a lot Wayne.  You know what they say, hair today and gone tomorrow...lol!  The camera was a Pentax 6x7 I used to have, when I used to take myself too seriously...lol!  Couldn't afford any more lenses though!  Cheers, Steve.

Fantastic Steve first class abstract agree with all above well spotted and exicuted very well done.
Dave

Great to see you don't waste your time at work Steve, LOL. A super colourful image and well achieved with a desk lamp too. Rgds Alan.

Marvelous lighting and colour Steve - could you send me some of them so as I can put one in my drinks whilst I sit on my deckchair and enjoy the beach (lol).  Cheers, Andrew.

Thanks Dave, Alan and Andrew.  Andrew, I was hoping it would be the other way around and you would send me enough bottles to use them all...lol!  Cheers, Steve.

I love the idea and the bright colours seems as if by some kind of trickery that the eye does not know where to focus 1st. Very clever well done great shot.
