An experiment in many ways, the main objective was to play with the

forms of the elements in this format; besides being a pushed B&W film

with a polarizing and red filter to create an "infrared like" mood,

and very visible grain....and yes, some color. Thanks to John Mac for

his valuable advise on this one.

I'm really interested in your comments, thus in advance I thank you.

This is actually version number two of a previous post; however, after some advice by a friend I decided to redo the crop and post it again. In case you're wondering, here's a link to version No, 1. Thanks for your comments.

i like your experiment with the grains, colors and crop. i think the vertical versionis more powerful. regards.

The treatment is very effective for this subject. The strong lines are accentuated and the entire image becomes graphic. The use of grain brings the image back into the world of photography so you have create a bit of a curious paradox. The "infrared" looks borders on solarization or even a negative image.

 

I am still undecided about the newer cropping. The vertical orientation is confirmed by the verticality of the structure but I do miss the lines on the bottom of the balcony on the right side and the increase in grain size seems less effective and a bit overbearing compared to the original. In the original I would have considered cropping out the upright on the railing at the right edge of the frame, as well as the final line on the underside of the structure.

 

No matter how you crop this, the treatment is wonderful and I love the angle you have chosen to shoot from.

 

PN will only let me give this 6/6 but know that I would have gone higher if able.

I rather prefer the original one in vertical. I like the magenta effect full of "artistic" noise. Very creative composition !!

Muy interesante . La foto me hubiese gustado igual sin el experimento , ya que la composicion es perfecta . De cualquier manera funciona divinamente.

 

Saludos

me gusto tambien....la asignatura con la composition contribuir a un gran equilibre.

Creatively captured. I am really enthralled by the linear intersections forming an "X".

Una interesante composicion y encuadre,a la que aplicaria el mismo comentario que la anterior.

 

Saludos -Tolo.

Well done.

Beautiful, Juan Carlos. I really like the effect, colour and perspective. Those balcony railings immediately reminded me of those I saw in Dessau when I visited the Bauhaus school. You've got that wall behind the main building that displays the many small balconies of the students' rooms. It is quite a sight to study their beautiful shapes multiplied and forming wonderful patterns. You have exactly this kind of angle when standing in the parc in front of the wall and moving around. Gropius and the masters were such geniuses.
