For this week’s Lens-Artists Challenge, set by Ritva, we’re asked to show an image that features, almost to the exclusion of all others, just one colour.
I went for blue, and chose this other-worldly photograph of a tank of jellyfish featured in the Aquarium of the city of La Rochelle.

According to the Tate Gallery, “abstract art is art that does not attempt to represent an accurate depiction of a visual reality but instead uses shapes, colours, forms and gestural marks to achieve its effect”.
I think this qualifies. It was taken in front of the huge aquarium inside Dubai Mall, and illustrates what happens when you have to use a long exposure in a dimly-lit space and somebody barges into you just as you press the shutter.

The smaller image below shows what it would have looked like without the introduction of the third-party camera shake. Frankly, I prefer the abstract version (it’ll probably come as no surprise to learn that I like tie-dye too).
