The umbrella people, a photo from Berlin, East

Photographer's Note

Potsdamer Platz, Berlin.
If you push your head into the empty coats of these headless umbrella people, you can view a video presentation about Berlin's hisory and architecture.
well, it was intersting, but I was more intersted in the outside.

Tech: Crop to squre format, old newspaper effect, sepia tonning, light and contrast adjustments, clarify tool (max strength, twice), resize, sharpening, frame.

That's a pretty cool installation. Effective PP, and I like the tilt here.

I like your capture very much. The reflections even goes with the character of the figures. The burnt brown rusty color is superb.

Very interesting and effective use of postprocessing. Taking a photo of artwork is always difficult for one must interpret another artist's interpretation of life. This works: the tilt and post processing work well here.

Bonjour,
un traitment tr鑣 particulier et personnel du sujet, cela lui donne un c魌� super artistique qui pourrait placer la composition sue des affiches de promotion d'un exposition.
C'est tr鑣 bien cadr� comme cela.
Best regards.
Daniel.

I was looking forward to seeing some of your impressions from Berlin, Itzik, so I'm glad to find this first one here. Good inclusion of the reflecting elements, and effective post work on this one to enhance the offbeat sight. Nicely done.

Very nice and artistic shot. Very nice and prototype way to know the history of a place. Excellent POV. Nice colors.

Interesting theme and what a way to get information..
I like the tilted compo of the headless figures and the setting all around - good light control and details Yitzhak

Hi Yitzhak.
Well done.
I have just been in Berlin, and I have seen and photographed these people, so I think you have done a very good post processing job - and basic photo.
Well done.
Thanks, Jan
