Berlin - Potsdamer Platz

Carsten, this is totally awesome! I love the toning and composition. This is really fantastic. I visited Berlin twice in late 80's, it's a very cool city. Congrats on a fine image - Sean

this knocks me off my chair!!! perspective, tones, composition, flawless. you did extremely well here, carsten.

This is really stunning.I remember arriving there as a little girl 70 years ago,it was stunning than, but You sure gave it all its glamour of the new time right now,I am just as small again.

Thank you for stopping by ! I am glad you like it, because this is not my usual stuff

Carsten, this is just amazing! I'm not qualified to offer you a critique. I will just look and enjoy. Bravo.

YESS!!

Amazing shot. The unique angle of view and distorted shapes create a tremendous image. Your treatment is very effective too. The contrasty blacks and whites without much grey in between gives almost a lithographic etching effect. Wow.

Carsten, this is a knockout! It works every which way. On top of that doing it handheld and with a grad is amazing. I have trouble with grads on anything smaller than a 645 and yoor camera is not renowned as having the brightest of the bunch.

wow, this is amazing! A spectacular composition. Congrats!

Well it seems that you can reffer to subjects that are not landscapes...

It is an interesting composition of urban view if you like. Interesting angle with a very nice result.

untill I saw that this is a compsite, I wanted to ask how en earth you find and frame up so many architectural features into one photo; brilliant compostion then and nice shades, nice pencil drawing look.

Carsten - magnificent! The visual energy of the forms is excellent. I like how the verticals of the bottom half all point towards the centre of the circular (?) roof at the top. To me it has a rather art deco feel - an architects 'ideal city' drawing perhaps? From a selfish point of view I would like to rate this (7/7) so that it would appear in my 'photos rated highest' selection. But brilliant!

Wow, excellent work. Very good B/W contrast & tones as well as perspective.

Impressive Carsten!, agree with everyone about the visual impact of the scene, tremendous use of architectural lines and duotone processing, not your usual stuff but not the last for sure!

Fantastic shot!

 

Best regards

Taken aback by such a fantastic urban landscape. Great one, Carsten

One of those gobsmacking photos. It's got it all. Great work, especially with your post processing. Tones and subtle tint are very well done.

Carsten, this is a knockout. I'm in awe, not only of your imagination, but of your pano and processing techniques, too. Bravo.

 

Postscript: I have returned to view this several times now, and each time it fascinates.

This is simply stunning Carsten.... Your stitching is seamless. A beautiful composition and I love the cool tone, it works well with this. Wonderful image.

Italo Calvino could have made an Invisible City out of this. The round structure at top reminds me of a satalite dish, but its pointing down, receiving messages from the city, rather than broadcasting them. So who's listening? Is this what the martians are using to spy on us before the War of the Worlds invasion?

Wow, that's crazy! I love the effect of the fisheye on this shot. There is a sense of chaotic motion that is really wonderful. And the duotone helps to emphasize the distorted shapes and non-parallel lines. Great image!

Stands out. Exciting composition and very good mixing job. I'd consider a slight crop off the bottom to eliminate the tent like bright structure. Regards,

Carsten, this is one of the best cityscapes I have ever seen, and just a magnificent composition. Thrilling is the response I have to this. It makes me feel the excitement and thrill to be in this space -- I know I am about to have an exciting adventure here. Where do I start!!!

 

Outstanding work, Carsten, as good as any of your landscapes. I never thought I would say that about a cityscape...

GREAT IMAGINATION! GREAT TONES! GREAT COMPOSITION! GREAT JOB! CONGRATULATION CARSTEN. CIAO

Not your usual stuff...but still a signature work. I do not think that I've ever experienced such a sense of energy in a cityscape before. What a treasure.
