Sharp Graphic Lines of Dark Blinds

Although everyday, seemingly mundane objects are often overlooked, when photographed uniquely, they can make for the most dynamic, interesting photos.

This particular photo is an example of such. It may not appear so, but the photo is actually of those typical, inexpensive, metal blinds. The distinctive angle and magnified nature make the blinds entirely abstract, and instead of focusing on the function, one focuses on the sharp, graphic lines of the dark blinds with the light of the sky peeking through. The effect is striking and simultaneously intriguing.
