talking about..., a photo from Barcelona, Catalonia

Photographer's Note

This abstract image was taken from underneath the Forum building in Barcelona.. looking up at the textured metallic "ceiling tiles".. here the facetted cladding panels of the Forum are reflecting a pair of women talking about..!

..the Forum Building also known as Museu Blau de les Ci鑞cies Naturals, is an architectural landmark in Barcelona designed by the Swiss architects Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron (Herzog & de Meuron)..

..if you visit the Barcelona Forum building don't forget to step right under this beautiful light shaft with golden reflections bringing daylight to the lower gallery... it磗 just amazing!!

Gracias por la visita :)

Γεια σου Γιάννη,

Πολύ ιδιαίτερη και αυτή η λήψη σου!Απο όσο μπορώ να αντιληφθώ προσπάθησες να απεικονίσεις τις δύο γυναίκες.Και το πέτυχες απόλυτα.Οι ανακλάσεις και τα όμορφα χρώματα κάνουν το αποτέλεσμα ακόμη πιο όμορφο.Πολύ καλό αποτέλεσμα!

Καλή εβδομάδα,
Χρήστος

Hola Yiannis
Took me a couple of seconds to figure out what was this all about !
I like the golden hairs of the ladies on the golden glass
A bit too centered maybe
Have a nice day, best regards

Hello Yiannis - A very observant eye and a well managed image. The pools of water look like molten metal and the grid, textures and and double reflections are super. Fascinating shot. Warm regards Rosemary

Bartleby (13552) 2012-04-30 7:43

Hi Yiannis,
Good idea to have caught those textures and reflections, the result is interesting. I think a tighter crop would even bring more impact. What do you think?

ourania (51103) 2012-04-30 13:40

Καλησπέρα Γιάννη,
τι όμορφο φωτεινό και αινιγματικό κάδρο! Συνδυάζει μια οικεία καθημερινή σκηνή με ένα πάρα πολύ ενδιαφέρον πρίσμα που αποτελείται από διάφορα γεωμετρικά σχήματα και αφηρημένα μοτίβα. Το φως και η ευκρίνεια είναι εξαιρετικά και κάνουν το συνδύασμό πραγματικότητας και δημιουργικής φαντασίας συναρπαστικό καταλύοντας κάθε διαχωριστική γραμμή ανάμεσα στις δύο. Μου αρέσουν πάρα πολύ οι σκιές των δύο γυναικών που το σχήμα τους μοιάζει με τα αφηρημένα σχήματα που τις περιβάλλουν. Συγχαρητήρια και ευχαριστώ!
Να είσαι καλά, καλό μήνα,
Ουρανία

dta (98848) 2012-04-30 13:52

Hola Yannis ,
We try to discover the women in the refelctions ... but it is too difficult ... The graphical effect is fantastic . I like the tonalities nad the superb sharpness , too .
Regards

vasilpro (41801) 2012-04-30 15:10

Γεια σου Γιάννη,
Εξαιρετική δημιουργική σύνθεση με όμορφες γραμμές και πολύ ωραίο γραφίστικο αποτέλεσμα, ένα κάδρο που μου αρέσει πολύ.
Να περάσεις μια όμορφη Πρωτομαγιά,
Καλό μήνα, Βασίλης.

timecapturer (49288) 2012-05-01 4:51

Hi Yiannis
wonderful effect here. Such a superb observational image, with amazing shapes and contrasting straight and irregular lines. Imaginative as always and a striking creative presentation.

Regards - Brian.

sacimar (38173) 2012-05-01 6:30

Hola Yiannis!

gran foto! me gusta mucho porque combina distintas cosas, el juego de los reflejos, la presencia de las mujeres, las texturas y colores de la superficie, muy bien visto, enhorabuena!

Un saludo,

Sergio

ChrisJ (171888) 2012-05-01 8:12

Hello Yiannis

I like the downward pov into the sharply defined but slightly distorted reflections in the wet pavement. The repetition of the triangular shaped tiles adds interest. Good color & composition. Tfs!

danos (110407) 2012-05-01 11:51

Γιάννη γεια σου,
πράγματι είναι όμορφη η σκηνή αυτή με τη συζήτηση των γυναικών να καθρεφτίζεται μεσα από τα γυαλιστερά πάνελ του κτηρίου.Πρότυπη φωτογραφία με το φως και τις αποχρώσεις των χρωμάτων να είναι πολύ δημιουργικές.

Σε χαιρετώ,Δάνος

JFS (32459) 2012-05-01 22:24

Un abrazo,

Good eye for artistic shots, my friend!
This is outstanding by its originality and the monochrome-like color.
Many compliments...and I think a photographer should always keep an eye upwards!!
Hasta luego.

axiotea (21651) 2012-05-02 11:37

Hello Yiannis
There many interesting places to visit in Barcelona!
I like very much the mirror effect provided by the metallic tiles, the different textures, the geometric figures...and the women adding life to the scene.
Well seen!

Cheers
Marilyn

Hi Yiannis,

very abstract but very powerful image! Geometric patterns plus reflections in one, really great! The reflection fringes add a nice extra to the scenery.

Well done my friend, best regards, F.

josepmarin (59385) 2012-05-04 6:55

Hola Yiannis,
yo tambi閚 intent� jugar con estos reflejos en el Edificio F騬um. La verdad es que es toda una tentaci髇.
Me gusta el resultado que has obtenido, por el fuerte grafismo de las texturas de este recubrimiento que parece un espejo, y por la vitalidad de la escena que has captado, con las dos se駉ras charlando.
Es una buena composici髇, que has realizado perfectamente.
Un abrazo,
Josep

abmdsudi (95869) 2012-05-05 2:11

Hi Yiannis
Good ideas with strong graphical abtract effect, the distortion make s this looks exciting in limited rusty colors. The darker tone I feel holds the fous but the main figs are to central probaby tighter crop works better. Good vision, Congrats, TFS
Best regards

Bluejeans (64251) 2012-05-05 3:22

Nard (6972) 2012-05-05 10:04

Hi Yiannis
At the first look, not easy to understand what is it but a beautiful abstract result. Creative and well done. I like how that looks like a confused puzle, the texture and the global tone.
Regards
Bernard

Una mujer vista de arriba parada frente a una pared en la que se refleja?
Te felicito

macjake (98486) 2012-05-12 23:02

Hi Yiannis
this is a photo that we'd typically see from Juan (JFS)!
i like the way you have used the glass as a cool reflective device.
and also, how the shapes are broken up a bit.
nice shot
cheers

El resultado es fantastico y esta tonalidad dorada, da mucha fuerza a las texturas, magnifico grafismo y las figuras dan el toque ideal.
Pasa un buen dia.
Saludos cordiales.

sevy (58) 2012-05-15 1:54

Hello,

I took me some times to understand what we are really looking at and understand it is a mix between top point of view and reflection. Next time, I will read the note first ;-)
Very original shot with the unusual point of view the the special texture and partly mirror wall.

Yves.
