So Treklens, after this photo my Shopping mall mission has completed. I can rest ( weekend )

It is often in life that where we go up, there is also a 'going down' (Confusius+)
The POV here is looking down from my pevious photo ;-)

(top floor you see Yolanda standing in the middle, on right, with Gerry, a friend left)

Have a good weekend Folks!
Kind regards:
John T

Hi John, interesting pov you have here which gives us a fascinating composition along with the help of your border. Nice colors and lighting, thanks.

Excellent symmetry well displayed (except for the rails :-]).
Very good sharpness and details in the photo.
Well done

I like this Escher-like effect you created here. :-) Precise symmetry, clinically beautiful and cold, as fit to a modern super market (albeit it gives me the chills, but this is another story...)

cheers,

still trying to get Otto to go with me.

Hi Johnny,

I am being drawn in here my friend by the escalators and the excellent POV. I think the song goes.. "The only way is up!" but here the only way seems to be down :)

Excellent capture my friend

Bonjour John,
je trouve cette vue plongeante sur cette galerie marchande magnifique. Parfaite symétrie des éléments.
Pour le cadre, beau travail de PP.

Hi John,
This was a perfect test for your new camera! Perfect colors, symetry, POV and DOF. Sharp details. Very nice matching frame
Cheers
Pierre

Hallo John,

In dit geval levert naar beneden kijken een prachtig beeld op. Dit moet wel geframed worden om het symetrische effect te versterken.
Shopping malls zijn absoluut niet aan mij besteed, maar als ze zulke mooie beelden opleveren moet ik me er wellicht toch eens instorten.
Fantastisch en prettig weekend.
Els

wow deze is ook weer zo mooi
vooral de manier waarop je het geheel framed (wat een woord) is bijzonder mooi

groet,
Marco

Hello John,
This is a very nice photo again of this shopping mall, Once again this POV is very well chosen and very dynamic and well balance. I like the contrasts of the colors and the white.
Cheers,
Luc

Perfect symmetry. Nicely composed. Beautiful colors.

Hello John,

Hi John,
This shopping mail is very well captured! I like the symmetry of your composition, the light and the colors clear and gently contrasting.
I think that we must have a good margin on credit card for shopping there! :)
Very well done

Hallo John.
Een envoudig winkel centrum word door deze opname verheven tot een echt kuntwerk
Knap gedaan.

Nicely composed symetry, good light and framing. Mission completed? Got any money left? Enjoy your weekend, John!

Hi John,
In thumbnail, i thought it was a collage of two pictures. Nice point of view of that special architecture, pertinent presentation with the stairs coming out the picture. Well done !
Ivan

Hi John,
Great composition and POV! I love the repeating patterns and symetry of this image. The white against the colours is good and the sharpness and details is excellent. Well done and TFS
Cheers Tina :-)

Hello John,
Wow! I love this perspective, what a great shot! Exposure is good; composition and POV of course are amazing. All those shopping malls look the same across the world I guess; I have the impression that it was taken in Montreal :) Thanks!

Hello John,
Les lignes et les couleurs, c'est ce qui a attiré ma curiosité.
La netteté est impeccable et les couleurs sont justes.
Je suis content de voir quel bon résultat donne ta 30D à l'intérieur. J'espère un jour avoir un Canon reflex.
En attendant merci de me faire rêver.
Pierre

Hi dear master John;again high quality shot,good colors-sharp my friend John...

Oeps, alsof ik er zo'inval' Prachtig joh! Volgende keer gaat ook mijn camera mee :-) Doei en fijn weekend
Joos

Good POV and presentation! well done!

Hi John,
good to know that there are good shopping places also in Belgium ;-) Haha!
I love this view down, this symmetrie is wonderful. I read in you Valentine-post that there's a TL-meeting in September in Holland.
At which weekend, it would be fantastic to meet you all.
Many greetings from the sunny Bavaria

Hallo John.
I see you crossed the border. lol
Excellent picture you created here. Splendid frame.!
Sorry, I will not show this picture to Meri. She is a fan of that shopping mall of Wijnegem.
Voor us its just a half hour by car.
btw, think its at least 10 years old by now.
Groeten, Jan

Excellent symmetry here John! Really nice lines and I love how you frame! B-)

Hello John

Hope you didn't spend to much money at the mall to buy me a new lens.
I like how you made the stairways go out of the frame.
The symmetry would be almost perfect if it wasn't for the ramps on the right that you forgot to extend out of the frame.

Regards to you and Yolanda

Sylvain

I really like the soft tones and the interesting angles of the shoppers comings and goings! as always I like the JOHNT effect in the frame..:o)

Thanks for sharing!
Donna:o)


thanks for your comments on my photo "mini golf course" :o)

Hi John. Nicely composed and your usual good out of frame work. I love the lighter colours here and the detail is superb. No rest for the wicked here, renovations still in progress and we get the workers when they are available. TFS,
David

Many thanks for your comment on ‘Cobwebs V’

What lovely colors John!
And I realy like the way you capture these lines... and so straight! Cool job!
I think I like that shoppingmall...... :-) maybe I'll ask my hubby to take me there one day, if only to take some of these nice schots!

Cheers,
Anneke

Hi John,

What a razor sharp photo! Excellent POV with the four escalators in perfect symmetry!

Well seen & composed
Constantinos

Hoi John,
Prachtig lijnenspel, perfecte symetrie, fijne pastelkleuren. Mooi panorama, kortom super foto!
Hans

:) Later...

Mooie kleuren in een prachtig lijnenspel met uitstekende dieptewerking. Het PP werk is goed doordacht en uitgevoerd. Misschien had ik dit rechts en links gelijk gehouden voor de symetrie. Complimenten John.

Hi John,

This is realy my art. Great shot and well seen. Yous shlould have asked the people to move out.
What I specialy like are the staircases left and right coming in and the softtones complementairy colors.
A masterpiece my friend!

Hendrik

What an excellent idea.
Great photo, love the symmetry.
The details in this image are great, very inspirational.

Tfs Tracey

Another fine architectural interior photo John. The exposure is exceptionally good and I think that you have chosen perhaps the best possible point of view. I like the architectural symmetry in the composition alongside the interesting groups of people dotted around the picture.
Well done!
Best wishes
Bill

Hello John
An original taking of this commercial center.
The architectonic design allows to catch different, perhaps inadvertent for much people. The composition, establishes a unique symmetry. I only can say: EXCELLENT
John

Some nice POV here. Good lines, and good clear image.
I like the way the escalators go outside the frames.

Just a minor thing, I would rotate it just a tiny tiny bit clockwise.

Big shopping centres, I like those places, lots of shops to visit, only short of money to spend spend spend :)

Tom

Hi John, interesting POV ,xcellent symmetry and so clean image!
regards,val

I mail you.

Interesting take on a sort of mundane topic. Well done.

Very good sharpness and details in the photo.good work..greetings
