Detail of Haas House, architect Hans Hollein, in B&W

The idea to make it B&W came while I was playing with the colour curves tool to lessen the red and the blue.

You can see the original colour version above.

Which one do you like more?

thanks a lot

Maria

Really like this one...but the b&w version...

Hi,

thanks for revisiting and for the comment.

I am glad you like it.

I usually don't make B&W, but here it just proved suitable :)

I also don't photograph so much contemporary architecture, rather interwar and 1900, but I was turning the whole week daily at the Stephan's place, with this gorgeous building, so took some photos :)

The lines are much the merit of the architect B), but the wide angle and myself also did their best to chose the perspective and the capture frame :D

thanks again

Maria

Hi,

thanks for revisiting ... I guess this photo will not go so soon for critique, since I am getting it by letting it on the front page :)

Glad you like it and thanks for your time and comment

Maria

Thank you very much for your visit and the kind works.

Looks like some photos don't need a request for critique at all :)

Hi,

thank you very much for your time and comment, I am happy you like it.

A luck that it was sunny and the sharpness field was wider than the distance I've set :) - actually I am still refusing to wear glasses, although I now really need to sit close to the blackboard, TV, screens displaying when the tram comes, etc ...

kind regards

Maria

I defintely like B&W version better. This image has all the different shades of gray, lines and shapes, and interesting subject. What else do you need? Nice photograph!

Hi,

thank you so much for your comment! I am glad you like it.

Well, I usually don't turn original colour photography into B&W - most B&W photos I have are made with B&W film, like the old ones from Bucharest. But this was basically monochrome, like the one with the gate in the Bucharest folder.

Here is another one which was colour. And the sepia one in the Lisbon folder was also colour, but for these two the reason was different - there were too many colours not staying well together in the photo.

kind regards

Maria

P.S. I have noticed that I looked to some photographs of you, in Venice, the Gothic house and the channel with a curved and a straight bank, before the pavement you posted recently.

This is my best rated photo so far, without anonymous raters. Lets see ...

thanks

Maria

Maria:

This compositon/scene was made for BW!!! Go drag out that analog camera and reshoot with film; Ilford Panf 50 or Delta 100 for a start.

Realyy nice composition here; my compliments...
