Blue

I was driving past the old Chi-Chi's restaurant earlier today and when I was done with

work I went back in the evening thinking I was going to get some multi-colored geometric

shape type color detail shots but wound up with this instead. The moon was visible before

the sun set this evening but not full so I replaced it with a shot of a full moon that I had on

hand.

 

All comments welcome and appreciated and thanks for looking.

The moon looks too unnatural, I would let the architectural beauty be the focus. Great colors, Who knew chi-chi's would have so much style.

Agreed

Excellent excellent. love it. superb. bravo!

Nice idea - the Moon bouncing down stairs.

I find the light & colors the strongest part of the image, most specifically the light & shadow. Would be curious as to what the original

moon looked like, as perhaps it's not being full would have introduced the element of anticipation.

 

The one point that first caught my eye, & bothered me, was that the forground corner of the building leans to the left very slightly & is not parellel with the right edge of the image.

 

From your statements...you tend to return to a locations to pursue an effect...IMO this speaks highly of your eye & sensativity to the situation. (I always like it when i venture out thinking i will find one thing only to find another.)

 

 

yeah...thats really f%%king great hell yeah!

The colors, composition and originality are really great. Anyway, I'd prefer it without the moon. Congratulations.

Thank you for your feed back everyone. It has been very helpful to me and a few things that have been pointed out to me as flaws will be addressed. Thanks for taking the time to comment and I appreciate the kind words, also.

Striking impact...excellent.

Jeff, You have a great eye. I really like this shot. Good lines, color and contrast, the blue against the white. Truth is I could have done without out the PS moon but it still is a wonderful capture.

 

Thanks for sharing

I realized this was a composite because a totally full moon is never so high in the sky at the time of day that provides lateral light. The full moon always rises at dusk, at or after sunset. Nonetheless it's a very evocative image and I like it as it is. Maybe I'd brighten the moon a little to echo the white of the building? Just a thought. Great image - it would even work for me with no moon at all!

Excellent! tones and compo.

Looks pretty cool - almost abstract.

Looks great! Moon is looks bit unnatural, but the whole photo is great.

Nice symmetry and color graduation.

These few but well saturated colors really work. I like this abstract subject

I wanted to take a moment and thank you all for taking the time to look at my image and give me feedback. I always find other's opinions to be an invaluable means by which to grow as a photographer and I appreciate so much everybody helping me in that respect.

 

Best regards,

 

Jeff

great color and shape!

Like a ball bouncing down the steps. Composite it may be but it shows imagination. As others have said..... you have an eye!

Image and light play, this one is of my favourites from your excellent and original compositions, rounded full moon and straight architectural lines just get together fantasticaly, regards

I would have gone to 7/7 for this if it hadn't been manipulated... I'd love to see the original shot some time!

How interesting

I like your Composition and the colors

Great composition, congrats !
