Zubizuri II

A detail of white footbridge Zubizuri by Calatrava.

nice one.

i like it a lot

Great perspective

I like it and as already stated, good choice of perspective. I noticed something strange: on my LCD monitor many artifacts can be seen around cables but on my CRT monitor it looks good. I'll go with the CRT monitor!

Muy interesante composicion. Las lineas de fuga de cada cable le dan dimension a la foto. Me gusta bastante por simple.

Very nice image!

The reason you see "stuff" around the cables on an LCD and not on a CRT has to do with a lot of things, but is primarily because an LCD can not display as many colors as a CRT. Typically, LCD panels only have 6 bits of resolution per color channel and so can only display 64 levels of that color. In this particular instance, there will be no green or red present in the sky, so there will be very few levels to represent the blue. LCD panels often use dithering to give the appearance of being able to represent more colors, but they are fundamentally low-color resolution devices. Add to that an LCD panel's higher contrast, and you get more visible artifacts on an LCD compared to a CRT.

 

Finally, the root cause of the stuff around tha cables is the fact that the image has been compressed with JPEG compression. The strange blockiness around the cables is due to the JPEG compression and will be present on a CRT too - it's just that you wont notice it as much.

Love the strong color and the design.

I think too that the root cause of the stuff around tha cables is the fact that the image has been compressed with JPEG compression in PHOTONET. You can see (very neat) the same image with the same JPEG compresion in: http://not.contaxg.com

Thanks Wayne for the explanation. Thanks Guillermo for the link - you are right, the photo in the link is clean and perfect.

Exellent diagonal cut of the picture. I love a lot the originality and the colors too.

Very good idea, very well achieved with a perfect lighting on the cables.
