Cubicals at the Haringvliet in ROtterdam The Netherlands? I know the daughter of the guy who designed them. Like the lines and the "arrow" formed by the sky. Also reminds me a bit about Japanese origami. Great shot.

This is a twilight zone photo gone 3D full color 22nd century color balanced form balanced, where you can see in the windows, commercial for Nikon. Send them a print.

I'm with Howard ... this is fabulous! I love the colors and lines. And the fact that you can see in some of the windows makes it perfect. Great work!!

Great photo in terms of color, clarity and composition, not necessarily in this particular order. I like the 45 degree line that meets the lower right corner; something I alse pay attention to. Congrats.

...for your feedback. Truly appreciate it.

 

Tom H., yes, it's Piet Blom's late 70's work, the Overblaak Housing off the Blaak Metro stop. Rotterdam, everyone, is full of modern architectural treasure. Take a peak at Jackie Chan's, "Who Am I?" movie for a preview.

 

Martin, so far so good with a D70. The images are very clean, very light body for travel, decent ergonomic, and generally quite intuitive. The downsides are there though and it's getting bothersome: 1.) Mode Dial is easily shifted by accident as the click stop doesn't stay in place that firmly, 2.) Switching from AF-S to AF-C has to be done via menu, 3.) No provision for vertical grip, and 4.) Other than the central AF point, the other AF points are pretty much useless in terms of tracking sport and wildlife. Most often time, ergonomically, I actually enjoy using the Canon A80 (now A95) a little more than the D70. Unless I need a long telephoto or a special optic, I most likely will have an A80 and a tabletop tripod with me. ^_^

 

You know what will be a perfect set up? A pocketable Canon A80 type camera with a large, 6MP, clean, D70 type of CCD, with 2" flip screen, up to 30 seconds exposure time, down to f22, and with focal length of 24-200, all with f2.8, retain ISO 50, AA batteries, compact flash card...too much to ask for? ^_^

Looks like I've come to the party late and thus don't have much to contribute with all the preceeding comments. I must say, however, that this is another creative and very pleasing shot.

This is so interesting to look at. Not only is the color eye grabbing, the lines are so interesting, they keep my eyes very busy looking at the details. How did you know where to start? Even the sky has a nice patterned shape to it. I really like it!
