[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
It was sunny today, so I decided to go 'hunting'. Well, one of my favourite subjects, reflection of the two opposite buildings.
PP work - straightening (and lots of it, as I shooted upwards), reduced saturation, cleaned the noise, sharpened, framed, resized.
I don't know if leaving the air-conditioner was a good idea, but I wanted to catch those chimneys inside the frame, and it wasn't possible from other positions.

Hi Marija,
Very well seen this reflection. I like the squares created by the windows that creates a nice grill on the perfect reflection, and I like the air contionner that creates a nice contrast. Great Shot with superb colors and an excellent sharpness. TFS

Hello Marija, nice catch! The compo with all those squares is pretty good. I like also the half and half approach with colour.
Good picture!

The window a/c is a great element (on a thirds intersection too!), as is the one open window. All adds. Nice one, with the colour contrast. 10/10

Are you interested in our COFFEE CHALLENGE?

Great shot Marija, the reflection is beautiful, colours great and sharpness good.
Thanks for sharing.
Michael.

X-cellent!! What a composition ;)

Lovely graphic image. Nice tones and colors. Obviously the open window does it.
The AC is perfect where it is. I like it there. If there is something I could eliminate, it’s the sign on the right hand bottom but I’m only nit picking.

PS: I like the fact that you are exploring the reflections of old on new. That is an interesting concept. I do have one picture I will share with that theme. I hope you’ll like it.

Have a lovely day.

Ben.

Hi! Marija,

There is some interesting distortion in those windows that make the image so nice and cartoon like. They must be made of perspex to bend so much. You have spotted a great prey here Marija. The aircon' is not a problem for me as it adds depth to an almost 2D scene. I might have replaced the open window though, as it is a distraction for me. The mixture of Blue and Green is a lovely mix for me, despite the old saying " Blue & Green should never be seen". Well seen again!
Mike.

PS. How about joining us for a coffee Challenge?

Leaving the air-conditioner was a great idea, it perfectly breaks the repetition and creates very powerful composition, congratulations on that!
I like the whole reflections series and this one is not an exception. I love that comparison of old and new, all those jaggy reflections and gridlines. But the triangle with open windows and the air-conditioner is really a powerful detail.
Great work, TFS!
Regards,
Robert

Hello. I miss the sun and the warm weather!!
Another wonderful shot!! Great catch. So simple and so nice. Once again... congratulations!!

Good eye, Marija!
I like this shot.
Nice work, colours and sharpness are very good.
Ciao

Hi Maria,
Great picture. Lovely colors and curved reflections.
Will add a workshop tomorow where I got rid of the airco, hope you like it.

Thanks,
Pedro

I'm glad you saw this one. Fantastic.

I like very much the reflections,very very nice pic!
I think the AC is very important, becouse it makes the difference betwwen the new building and the older one.

Regards,

Sabina

Hello Marija

great composition, taste of the picture
I like the part of the houses, the green tone is wonderful
and big to see as the glass it changes the reflected form.
see the houses below. Big!
Congratulations

Wow, you did very well on the straightening. You can't tell.

The one open window is just perfect.

Hi Maria,
Nice shot! Looks kind of like a puzzle (the kind where there are many squares and is one empty space; and you slide the squares around to make them form a picture). I think leaving the air conditioner in place was a good move. It adds more dimension to the shot, and also gives it an extra "surprise." But, if you were to take something out...maybe you could consider that purple window on the bottom...it seems to distract, in my opinion (or maybe not...just check it out for yourself). Anyhow, great shot. And good pp work.
Take care!
Richard

hola maria bonita foto Nice work, colours and sharpness are nice

Hi Maria !

I really like this reflection. And great PP work to get everything strait! I also like the workshop without the air-conditioner.
