Into the Light!

Its a nice shot with good compositional technique & exposure.

Regards.

I just couldn't resist the reflections presented to me here.  Thanks for taking the time to comment.  It's much appreciated.  Best, LM.

You have a good eye catching the abstract reflections off the tile in this underpass. The contrast with the scene in the daylight is very effective.

Hi Len

Unrepeatable symmetry by its reflection and composition. The presence of people in the right remote make a realistic sense in the capture. Best regards

 

Len, very good composition and control of light and exposure. The reflection of light on the tiles, enhances the beauty of the image.

Many thanks for your thoughts.  The reflections, of course, were the initial attraction for me here.  I remember exposing for the sunlight and adding a half stop to garner a tad more detail in the darker areas.  I'm pleased with the result.  Best, LM.

Almost missed you & Museeb there.  Upon leaving the main building for the gardens this scene was presented to me on a silver platter.  What else was I to do?  Thanks for your validation & comments.  Best LM.

I agree with your comment on the symmetry.  This is one time I think a centered subject works well.  The people do add a dynamic to an otherwise relatively static scene though I'll also add that due to the popularity of these gardens getting a scene without people in it would probably be more of a challenge.  Your views are always appreciated.  Thanks for your thoughts.  Best, LM.

What I like in this one is the DOF which is soo large, The play of light and shadows is creating a nice triangle, despite the central composition.The symmetry  is a bit "broken"by the human figures,( good thing)well  done Len.

With a 50mm @ f11 the DOF is certainly adequate.  I think the actual point of focus was on the edge at the end of the tunnel.  Never thought about the triangular light patter except perhaps subconsciously.   The people play a minor but, thinking of the scene without them now, essential part in providing a bit of life to the scene.  Sort of a leaven, if you wish to compare it to rising bread dough.  :-)  Best, LM.

You are a wizard of reflections. It's remarkable how that gleaming frame of tiles masks and softens harshly lit background - works better than HDR!

Good of you to stop by.  This one IS about reflections.  No shiny tiles, no photo.  One time the harsh light of mid day aided in making a decent photo.  Best, LM.

a well directed exposure!

Thanks for stopping by.  Always appreciated.  Best, LM.

I love the light work and the composition.  Having the people at the right spot sets it off perfectly.

Thanks for happening by and for your encouraging comment.  The people were just passing through.  Luck is good.  Best, LM.

Looking at the thumbnail (that is before I opened the photo) I thought this was a forumla 1 race car. I honestly did. Rorschach test maybe?

You have a vivid imagination!  But, looking at the thumbnail, I have to agree.  The two planters at the end of the tunnel become the tires and the pyramid shaped building in the background becomes the cockpit.   Thanks for your most welcome visit.  Best, LM.

Your constructive comment\critique will be gratefully received. Best, LM.
