For what I gather, green is the color of Islam. Green is the color of life fertility and

renewal of the earth.

Mosques are frequently decorated with green tiles.

Therefore, I chose green..........Thank you in advance for any comments.

Very interesting piece. Mostly the tight framing and the green tone fashinates me. This has again that oldish feeling all around it. May i ask what made you choose this kind of tight framing?

Warm rgs Tero.

The building itself Tero, at the time I took this, I was finishing my studies as an architect, and was conducting a small project, where one of the objectives was to decompose each building in their more elemental parts, hence this was done like that from the beginning. Interestingly, if I chose to include the upper corner in the frame, the image didn't work as well; which got me trying many different angles at the time, for I wanted to have it in the frame no matter what. So in a way, it is old, though not by much. Thank for stopping by, and comment, I really appreciate it.

Great presentation. I also like the cropping and the color. They both really add to the essence of the image. Best Regards Katherine

Thank you Katherine, it's nice to read your comments.

Brilliant ! Congrats !

So, Paris again. As both are on the same bank and not too far from one another, it made me think about your National Library shots. A very nice view of a famous Parisian building, Juan Carlos. Nice discovering your new posts. Nikon F3?

Thank you very much Florin, I'm really glad that you like it.

 

Laurent, Paris indeed! What a great city, as an architect visiting it was like being a kid loose in a toy store....so much to do and so much to see!!!!!

This was taken a few years ago, 10 or so, before digital......I used an F3 then, and still do form time to time (you may say it's like the first love....the one that you never forget); also shot in the same trip when I took some photos of the Bibliotheque Nationale, like the one you wrote about.

I'm trying to scan and post some of my work from the past, so look up for more of Paris in the near future. Bonne chance!

 

interesting tone and framing. good shot. and thanks for your kindness on my latest picture. beat regards.

Thank you Fly, I appreciate your visit as much as you did mine; your work is some of the most admire by me. Cheers!

Estupenda toma y arquitectura,con una magnifica luz y monocromo,asi como un acertado formato.

 

Un cordial saludo -Tolo.

Gracias Tolo, como siempre un placer tener de visita, y que ta haya gustado mi trabajo. Saludos,

I like the tight crop and coloring which both contribute to a strong rendering of a quite common motif. Excellent work Juan!

Thank you Nick, I really appreciate your visit and comment. Cheers!

Juan Carlos, I came back from my trip same days ago and I saw your rates and critique on my photos....really thanks!!

Among your photos I choose this one, I like it very much because of the framing (you have a special look for this type of subjects) and the colour...I imagine U used a filter...

Hope to read U soon

Sonia

Thank you Sonia, is nice to hear form you. I'm glad that you liked it, and took the moment to comment on it. There wasn't any filter used on this one, color was add on post processing, what I did took grate care with was composition. Ciao!

 

Me encanta el punto de vista y la perspectiva .La luz y el tono verde le dan mucho peso a la imagen. Realmente tus imagenes de arquitectura me gustan y me ensenan mucho

 

Un abrazo
