Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias

what can we say? sometimes your photos are perfect. i love blak skyes, in urban photos, becouse drive attention to the architectural subjects, as here.the white arches on the left are precious, misure distances drawing the beginning of a third perspective's line. water, wonderfull, a great bw gamma. i didnt find, in your portfolio, the oiginal version.

Dear Andrea! Thank you for your kind words, comment from you is always appreciated. I haven´t my initial version in the portfolio. It is delited because I didn´t like it anymore. I found some major errors in the previous version and decided to make revision.

Speciale,complimenti !

Hello Gunther,

There are many pictures of this building on PN.  Yours stands out.  You succeeded in displaying a special atmosphere.  

Very Very well done,

Ben 

To tell you the truth Gunnar, I don't know which the town of the arts and the science, ignorant!

Warm regards!

Excellent architecture lines,very good contrast,best regards.

Superb reflections, I really like the way the wind rippled water adds a further pattern and texture to the wonderful light / shadow play.

Very wel done!

Best Regards

excellent. it is tough to go wrong with either frank gehry or santiago calatrava, but you capture both of them exceptionally well. striking work.

Dear friends, thank you for stopping by and for your comments! Pierre, it is impossible to know and recognise all towns and their architecture in the world. The place located in Valencia, one day I want to revisit.

Seeing it as a thumbnail it looked like a huge fish....;-)) Very good timing with the right clouds and transparency . I like the angle and the play of light. Well  observed and executed.

Yes, I know being late to this party, but you must know you deleted the initial version while I was pondering of improvements. I'm pleased to notice that you manage to keep self-critical tone on your work as this version boldly displays.

I was looking the satellite photo of this area on maps.google to get an idea at which time of a day you did capture this. Looks like it was quite early in the morning? This is off-topic but I have noticed your later photos have the date as well the time of original capture zeroed. Your photos back around 2008 did include this interesting information. Does Olympus really let you reset those values in camera?

While looking at the satellite photo I was also wondering how freely one can actually walk around in this area? I happened to visit the site of the architect, and naturally those photos are likely taken where common man doesn't have access to, no?

Pnina and Markku, thank you for your comments! Markku, yes, the photo is taken in the morning but cannot remember what time exactly. And I have no idea why the date and time are not visible, it is not reseted by me. The place itself is for public use with no limits outside.

The tonal BW are really exellent.

Excellent composition and light!

Excelent  !!! Bravo! :)

Regards to you!

Excellent work! (6)

Intriguing...

Glad you commented on my latest work Gunnar, otherwise I would have probably missed this fantastic creative shot by you, which is superb in quality...Bravo!

Wonderful dark effect and the refection. Fantastic light play and the composition. Detailed and clear in every part makes it awesome. Thanks for sharing. 
All the best to you. Warm Regards.

That's is one fantastic shot and a fabulous post work. Fantastic contrast and great details you pulled out of this image.
