Hello.
This is a tribute to EMANUELA who gave me very good suggestions for this photo with her cleverness,skill and fantasy.
This shot was taken in the Dome of Reichstag,Berlin.
This is a view of the pillar covered by glasses and mirrors which occupies the central part of the Dome.
The strucuture was designed by the famous architecture Norman Foster.

In PP...resize,adjust light tilt,turn B/W,contrast,light,shadows,sharpness,frame.

I'll post as WORKSHOP the photo in colours I started from.

Thanks to Emanuela and to all friends of TL who are teaching me so many things!

Regards, Francesco

Hi Francesco,

I like this a lot more that the colored version. I like the reflections on the mirror. Something different.
Good PP work aswell.

Tet

WOW Francesco! This is awesome!!! A great graphical image that draws the viewer in to get lost in the shapes and reflections. Outstanding contrasts really bring out the graphical nature of this shot. You have been taught well and it is a great tribute to a fine tutor. Very well done and coached!

Keep having fun Francesco!
Peace and Love as always!
Kevin

great graphical result- this is a very well chosen point of view for this effect, and of coourse, changing it into b&w was a perfect choice.
best regards

Hi Francesco !
Great shot of the Dome, interesting POV, B&W is a good idea !

Hi, I love the symmetry, a spectacular comp and view, interesting too, thanx, M, (*_*)

Magnificent Francesco - it is like a piece of intriguing puzzle. You keep trying figure out what's where. Like the extreme sharpness of your take. Well done

Hello Francesco,

Pure graphical image here!
Original POV, your traitment works very effective here.
Bravo!

Marc.

This photo reminded me of one I had seen on TrekEarth and which had been inverted to create a funny effect. Here it is. So I tried a workshop which I hope you will like.

Woa! It remember me some science fiction scene! That structure seem very big and with style! That's cool and well presented!!

super francesco........ and thanks, we all learn from all!

take care

WOW. GRAPHICAL SHOT, Really this is professional shot. I just can say my congrats

Well thanks Francesco that didn't do my vertigo any good :). Wonderful image, brilliant PP work. I do agree with Magda saying that the balustrade looked funny. Congratulations and the effect you achieved.

belle réalisation photographique ! je pense que c'est une tres bonne idée de l'avoir prise en noir et blanc cela renforce le jeu des reflets

Hi Francesco
A nice graphical shot. Loved the composition and the tone a lot.
Thanks

Very well done, Francesco. Interesting POV that creates a disorienting effect. Nice conversion to B&W which seems to adds a lot to this picture. Nice PP work. Excellent!

CIAO FRANCESCO :)
I really enjoy your work! You did a great Job on this. First, I think that the b&w was the perfect choice because it emphasizes all the lines in order to create an abstract and graphical composition! Then of course, Your POV is very inovative and original, which gives to the image a little bonus :)
Congratulations.

Like the pocv here Francesco , pitty about the reiling but magda did a good job getting rid of it ..excellent choice for the B/W here !

This is a beautiful shot, congratulations! B&W works very good and I like all the lines, shapes and reflections. It also has the diagonals starting in the top corners which lead the eye into the picture.

TFS,
Pedro

Proprio bella questa qua.
compliments!

wow ... amazing POV Francesco :o)
lovely PP as well but the original you started from is very good as well
very well seen and captured
