Lone Cloud

National Library, Paris, France. Critique welcome, thank you.

The composition,exposure and contrast are very good,Laurent.Vertical and horizontal lines make this image a very good abstract.

Thank, Amal. I'm really glad you like this one.

This photo seems to posses some whispering qualities as I'm returning back few times.

 

Could it be the brown, earthly color of the buildings and the pale white sky with coolish cloud, and then the visual silence caused by the closed window panels. The white vertical panels are nicely splitting up the block. Yes, a quiet whisper...

That little puff of cloud has both a gentle and an ominous quality to it. The drab color scheme only intensifies the effect.

Thanks for stopping by and for the nice words. Very much appreciated.

Jeff and Markku have done really good in expressing the sense of awe that this image arises. Having been there, I must recognize that you took a very original approach, which you tend to do mostly always; and by doing so and integrating the cloud into the scene you also achieved a very compelling compositional scheme. These three elements, building 1, building 2, and cloud, seem like an evolution from tall to small, from solid to gas.....very interesting.

 

Once again a dazzling experience.

 

Thank you very much for your insightful comment. I do remember your excellent capture of the National Library in Paris. Your visits are always a pleasure, thanks again.
