Hi Hermann,
ein futuristisches Bild. Ich mag die leuchtenden Farben in der Dunkelheit.
Der Turm sieht aus wie ein riesiger Roboter auf einem fremden Planeten. Toller Schuß, gefällt mir, Danke und Gruß

The photo is captivating- what colors and forms! It becomes all that more interesting when you read the note- a steel mill turned into sculpture and a park. Wonderful! (except for the lost jobs)
Excellent work. TFS.

Guten Tag Hermann

Wonderful color & graphism, with superb sharpness, & good repetiton of geometric shapes & patterns. Well done!

great, beautifull colours and so sharp and great mood!!

Hi Hermann, splendid! Great-robotic futuristic photo :) This is very well taken, far enough to frame it all, and close enough to see very well the details.

Very sharp and bright. Good capture of the light.

Great work!

Tfs and have a great day! Yan :)

A beauty, Hermann... excellent capture from a fine PoV. Though the building itself isn't symmetrical, the green lights do add an element of symmetry here. A well exposed nightshot, the only thing I'd have done is clone out the white line between the pole on the left and the frame. But that's just my nit-picking nature popping up ;o).
TFS.

A giant robot is about to take a walk in town...! This place looks like a source of terrific composition and colours.
Great shot! Best wishes for 2006 :)
