[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Another photo from Belgrade, this time from the very centre of the city. This is the reflection of a very old buliding (from 1828) on the new one.
Not much PP here, I did work on the perspective a bit, as I didn't want to make it too 'frontal'. I was thinking about tighter crop of the lower part, but wasn't sure about that.
Any suggestions welcome as always.

very nice Marija. I like the old and the new. The yellow and the blue. Hey I rhymed!
I like the graphism of the shot too. Lots of lines and squares. It would be a little more abstract without the top but that may not be what you were going for. Still a great shot! JP

Sucha beautiful work marija,

Take care,Stef :))

Hey Maria,

Cool shot!! I too like the contrast between old and new. Holds true for the textures as well...glass versus the bricks. I like the what you achieved by correcting perspective as well as the colour. I did a workshop...certainly not as an improvement. Just a different way of looking at it. I hope you dont mind.

Best regards
Lakshmi

Hi Marija,

Awesome reflection with great colors and excellent sharpness. I like the contrast of the horizontal lines with the reflection. Great Shot.

Hello Marija, beautiful picture and colour. To answer your question, I tried some variation (WS) on your picture. There is always an other way to present something. I believe your choice correspond more to yourself and…that’s the best way.

Again I like it!

The absolute contrast!! Between old and new, blue and beige....................brilliant! I love those horizontal lines and of course the uneven reflection of the old house!!
Well done Marija!! .... thanks for the blue!! :)

Very nice reflection and architectural picture, Marija, and I like that you kept the curve in the building. Personnally, I might have crop the top of the picture as I don't think it adds much to it. I like Lakshmi's workshop but I think she may have cropped too much at the top as I still think you need a bit of the blue for the contrast but I would not crop at the bottom. LOL, I am not certain if I am making any sense at all!!! But the reflection is so perfect that you get my points & appreciation for it. Well done!

I like the way you've captured the curve in the building, and I think the crop is just great - no changes needed at all! Great colors, too.

Take care,
Gayle :)

The game the lines play in here .. two archteture
styles melt together.. the sharpness and colors..
well.. you are on the right track ! (~_^)
Very nice Maria

Very beautiful reflection Marija...old vs new...the colours and contrast are great...I say it again sorry, but you did again a great job ;-)
Have a nice weekend my friend.

Jos

Not just another Belgrade photo but another reflection! I remember Macedonian one ;)
Good job, even better than first version, you seems to be good at it. This composition looks very interesting this way, bigger building is nice frame for the old one.
BTW, you should check some of Carma's work, she's good at architectural reflections.

Regards,
Robert

Hi Marija,
You did take a similar photo previously, haven't you?
This is equally great. Lovely contrast of new and old and the window panes is just perfect in reflecting and creating a wonderful pattern of the old. Bravo!

The old and new in one picture and that gives a nice view here, maybe a tiny crop in the top to avoid the sky, but nice seen.
I also like the curves around, funny !

Perfect shot Marija... I like how modern building gives a divided reflection of the old one. Perfect observation and shot!! Thanks

Hello. That´s a simple shot. Simple and beautiful. Great composition and colours. Well done!! :D

Old and new, combined in a very strong way. I always like moving filmshots of situations like this, but the curves in the glass give the same feel to this single frame!

Hi Marija

Agh..you too love reflections. I think this is superb. Gives a whole new look. Well done. Thnx for sharing this with us.
