[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Taken one evening in Belgrade. I liked the way this building reflected on the surface of a marble fountain, so I decided to wait and 'catch' someone passing by. This is one of the buses of public transport in Belgrade.

No PP work except for slight noise reduction, framing, resizing.

My connection is going on and off these days, as the temperatures here are extremely low. So, if I don't reply or do enough critiquing plz know it's not because I don't want to :(

Have a lovely day everyone.

Hi Marija,

very oroginal capture:)instead of one persone a bus;)
I love the marble reflections, soft and delicate...diffrent from water reflections, or windows, extremely pleasent colours.
Best, Sabina

Hi Marija...
Nice idea, I'm impressed by the reflective qualities of the stone surface! Great colours of the night... Creative the way you catch the bus between the lamps and their reflections!
Regards,
Pablo -

Great shot Marija. Beautiful effect, great composition and colors. Well seen...
Tomasz

Bok Mare! very nice shot, you are getting better and better with your architectural shots. I like the composition here, like some giant jaws waiting to swallow the photographer as well as the bus! :)
I would personally wait for some people to pass by, I think that would show the monumentarity of the building and reflections much better, but is still OK this way.
I know it's freezing out there, but did remember to take your fridge as a tripod? LOL :))))
Pozdrav!
Petko

I love the feel of this photograph. Makes me want to be a night passenger with the author of this picture sitting next to me.
Have you seem the movie Before sunrise & Before sunset? If you did, imagine the 2 characters as B & M, if you didn’t, please go rent it right away. It’s 2 lovely movies.

‘hoper your internet connection gets better.

T-C Marija.

Hello Marija :) The same goes here with the low temperature! So I better check your nice photo from the warm office! :) Ssssss.. don't tell my boss :)) I like the POV and the symmetry of the reflection of the lights!!
Well done!
cheers

Excellent image. Very well taken. The exposure is perfect. Maybe a little less area at the bottom of the frame (upto the reflected windows) could have made it more effective.

Pozdrav Maria.
Dobra noćna fotografija. Privlače me kolori a i noć.

hi Maria,

reflection is amazing ; i like also night-capture with soft colours and contrasts!
ciao
denis

Very good compostition Marija I always like reflection photos and this one is my real beauty.
Take care,

Jos

Hi Marija,

many TFS it

It's beautiful Marija! I love the colors, the soft graphism, the refelctions of the lights...
Thanks!
Fred

I never said it before Marija but you do wonders with the Optio 330 (not that it's not a good camera!)

A good choice of waiting to 'catch' someone passing by. I would have preferred a person walking by actually...maybe just before the lamp post.

Anyways, well seen reflections and nice composition.

Keep warm Marija..take care..ciao :)

Two shots in one, nicely using the straight architectural lines and the buss to split the reality from reflection. Great nightshot.

Alban

that's a really cool shot. I don't really see the person walking by but the photo is strong enough even without that. Using the reflection like that was an excellent idea. Great colors too. JP

Hi Marija,

Great photo, considering the fact that it's taken at light (very difficult shots!). You have captured perfectly the detials of the building (even if this is on the background). Great reflections of the lights on the marble. It's like water, so clear!
Good job!
Well done!
