Post #4 - Distortions

The framing of the above photograph, which I took, reminded me of looking through a ship's porthole, prompting me to look for other photographs with similar framing.  I found a similar framed photograph at: http://www.igougo.com/journal-j73174-Groningen-University_Town_of_Groningen.html

The reason I chose the above photograph was first because of the frame.  I thought it was interesting to take a photo through a window of sorts.  The other interesting thing was the distortions that occurred because of the plastic.  The image was clear enough to tell what it was, but distorted enough to be unique.  The lower photograph does not distort the image itself, but does have reflection as a major focus, which is a form of distortion.
