Reflections of Norwich

Yesterday the first of July 2008, on the move with my Nikon in Norwich. On arrival at The Forum a huge glass wall reflected the St. Peter Mancroft church Well I made several images of the reflections, the sun was setting and the last rays of light protrude through the roof windows of the Forum.

Well just an experiment, let me know your opinion.

That look like impressionist work, very artistic image:)

Hi Hans,

Being that blue is my favorite color, and architecture makes for great photos, this is a great shot! I like the reflections giving it a very modern, abstract look!

well done! Lisa

Hello Hans,

This is one of those shots that you look at again and again seeing different aspects and different interpretations. I think it is superb! It appeals to the artist in me!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Wow... reflections in more than one way Hans!

So many things to see here... the windows, the reflections in them, and then there is a part of "see through", also with vague reflections...
And ofcourse the church... a place for.... reflections...??

Very good one Hans!

Cheers,
Anneke

These pictures always amaze me and if I ever get to the city I want to try this. A beautiful reflection showing wonderful detail of the old church. Great job! TFS

Hello Hans,
A strikingly clear reflection, and an attention-grabber as well! Beautiful colors and presentation, with lots going on in the composition.
TFS,

I find this very appealing in many ways Mr. GB. I love the architecture to start with and to use it like a canvas for an almost abstract image is very imaginative and well captured. The colours work wonderful together to create a very interesting image. Nice work.
Warm Regards
Wanda

I LOVE this one Hans, the lines, every which way make for an interesting shot, lots to look at, nice quality here! Excellent diagonally split shot!

Beautiful creative work.

very intersting effect, wonderful reflection!

Hi Hans,

Een mooie combinatie van die nieuwe glaswand met daarin de reflecties van de oude kerk. Mooi ook het contrast in de lichte blauw en warmere geel-tinten. Mooi!

Groetjes,
Dennis

Hi Hans,
Fantastic capture! I like much your balanced composition with these two diagonal plans. The complementary colors' mix with ochre and blue is awesome, here! Congratulations! Annie

hi Hans

Seeing the old architecture through the modern glass panel...that is a good technique of shooting. I like the tones captured here. Really a lot of details to be found here. I would think a slight blur in the church windows is due to glass imperfections?

tfs, bill

Bonjour Hans,
Très intéressant cette expérimentation. ;)
On devine une architecture ancienne qui contraste bien avec ces bleus plutôt vifs et la déformation achève de donner une touche moderne à l'ensemble. Bien vu et bien fait. Félicitations.
Amicalement.

Pascalie.

Een aardige opsteker in deze barre,magere TL periode......(wat is er toch aan de hand,komt het door de vakanties....)

Heerlijk Hansie,

Dit lijkt me geen experiment, maar gewoon een erg aantrekkelijke compositie - uhm artwork.
Opinion: gorgious - framing - attractive -- ha, I don't say more, otherwise you will think that you are good ^-^....

Hello Hans
Beautiful presentation,surrealistic effect.
Congrats
Friendly geetings

Hoi Hans,

Ja, weer terug na een tijdje weg!
Leuk product heb je hiervan gemaakt. Een kleurig geheel met al die verschillende reflecties, misschien had ik de weerspiegeling van de 'roof windows' proberen te voorkomen door een ander POV.
Maar ik hou wel van dit soort abstracte dingen ;).

TFS, CU later!
