[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I know I am boring with my architecture photos :S, sorry.
Since Robert (ropetko) wants a story (not to say poetry;>) in the notes...uhmpf..ok, business buildings always looked so stark and austere to me.
So I tried to give these reflections a 'caged' feeling.
Well, I did my best to explain :(
PP: rotating, straightening, conversion to B&W and applying 'coolin' filter in PS CS which I think suited best the abstract feel, removed noise, framed, resized.

Lousy story but a good photo!
:))))))
P.S. Perhaps deep down you actually want to move and work in a big city? ;)
Petko

Excellent result, making the photo not just "another architecture photo". The POV is attractive and the frame does the picture justice.
Good work

Great Photo. Love the frame, like the reflection and the color. Could you ask the genetor to close that one window :-)
Regards,
Niek

i like the bottom up POV here maria :)
good reflections and graphism

Hi Marija,

Interesting and lovely POV! Great perspective and vibrant colour! The phot is so sharp that I can't figure out which is the real building glass and which its reflection. Nice lighting. Well done on the composition!

Very nice composition and colors- back to the chiropractor for my neck again ;)

Best wishes,
Steve

lol - ropetko does not like your bed time story... like the lines and angles you have captured, well done and great POV to maximise the effect. Not boring at all.

good reflections...

cud hav done for a black frame

regards
sangeeth

Nice POV, and good use of the cooling filter! Good composition as well, and nice presentation. Nice job!

I don't get bored with your architectural shots, Marija, because they are really good. Very nice POV with good treatment. Excellent photo!

Good POV and colors... Like a way to escape and go to the sky... Lovely reflections...
Not sure about the big frame but it works good.

The POV which you choose to show these giants of glass are always very right. Here, we have very good reflections. If this business buildings always looked so stark and austere to you, you can imagine they speak together. The mirror of their facades returnt it them rumours of the city? A great material to consider :))! Bravo pour ton travail Marja! Annie

I love it! I like the geometry and the rectangle in the top right corner (sky) There is nothing boring and as I already said, there is noting boring about you Marija. You want to see something boring? look at my yesterday picture. Not a single point. ;o(

Have a great day!

Hi Marija, nice composition with great perspective. The reflections on the glass work very well. TFS.
Dean.

SUPER, SUPER ORIGINAL! Nice shot! Beautiful image, great photo, excellent work!
and many thanks for sharing!
I like so much!

I'm guessing that the 'coolin' filter produces the ame effect as if there was a very 'flat' light? Remember OF ALL THE BARS IN ALL THE WORLD' from Dubai? Grey skies did the same for me. So 'coolin' makes it less hot. I can see that.
I like the crop; the POV is the only choice and the fine detail is absorbing.
Now, what else is there? Mmmm - nope. can't think of anything else ... must be something ...

Like broken glass; a special angle in the building brings this great distorting feeling.
Very good seen

I always fall for modern architecttural details and reflections so this is no exception. Modern design may appear to be cold and distant due to the all the glass and metal used in construction but it's the age we live in and...ufff...nevermind. I like the shot that's it, plain and simple.
