To me, the framing gives it sort of an abstract feel. Like the space station from 2001. It looks really good in the thumbnail. Perhaps if it were completely out of focus?

When I look at the full size picture, my eye doesn't know where to go. The area of sharp detail leads out of frame, as does the curve on the left.

I wrote a critique for this image yesterday which doesn't appear in this list. Anyone know what might have happened?

Hi APBob, haven't seen anything ... strange! feel free to add one again!

Interesting image.

i think i did my critique about this on another place ;)
the coulours, the blur, the framing... to my opinion perfect!
and btw: welcome to vazaar! :)

fantastic...hdr?

thank you :)
not really hdr, but a pinch of tonemapping ;)

Great idea to turn it in B&W. Sky and façade are fused in same light. Really great !

tone away! nice job.

To everyone above: Why not in English?

ikol 22, these comments by vernon and myself were done a long time before this got featured ;) (actually it's amazing that it got featured :) )
the only thing he said first, that he recognizes directly of whom this picture was shot and that wide open aperture rocks, which is quite the truth :)
then the whole thing was about which lens i used, what you probably can recognize without any german knowledge ;)
so sorry bout that!

I love the clarity of her eyes and face. Good use aperture to highlight her facial features!

very nice portrait, the swallow DOP make the shot and also the attitude the tilt of the face she seems worry to me about somethings but what ?
well done

great expression you've caught here

Crisp and colorful. Looks like an illustration... in a good way.

perfect framing and subject, fine colours!
i love it!

This looks like a Tim Burton movie set. Cool shot!

this is such an elegant photograph in its colour and composition

I really like but I can also imagine the handsets in a different color each.

This picture is awesome! Where do people live to get such cool pictures? Maybe Utah just sucks. Great shot, though.

thanks :))
moses, i had to travel to budapest (hungary) to take this shot ;)

Die ersten drei hängen schon lange :)

Die anderen kommen bald...ich brauche noch Rahmen...

Ich würde lieben, zu wissen, was du Herren sagst, aber ich nicht Deutsches verstehe.

:-)

Google Translate is great fun though. ;-)

Me and komma5 were together at that place on that day....we are just sharing some good memories...:)

and I did the prints and asked if they hang on the wall :-))

very beautiful.. and moody

Looks like a door to me.

On top there is the winddow....;)

the window-door ;)
as already said, one of your best!!
:)

so geil! :-))

Seems a rich Baroque church to me and given a fine symmetrical perspective which enhances the composition.

so rich! love the texture!

thanks!

I really like the strict symmetry here.

beautiful - very dynamic image.

it's the museum of modern art in milwaukee, wsc.
thanks for your comments.

This might be architectural detail but it's the sky that I love. Reminds me of a plane taking off.

great shot, composition is perfect, nice tones! very nice!

Great, nothing more to say!

D--n!Is that thing for real?
I would so hate to drive there.
Nice use of the colors.

Oh my God...I've seen this structure before, but always thought it was a fake.
Pray tell, where is this located?

Seconding the use of colors: nice.

a semaphore-tree :-))

cool!

thx guys!
this is right in the middle of a roundabout in isle of dog/canary wharf/london.
many years ago i was going by bike -totaly drunk and during night- the first time through this roundabout - and i nearly crashed :))
