Metro

Entrance to a Metro station in Paris

I like the way you used the reflections to make a great abstract mosiac of a picture 6/6

Wow, a great angle to a great piece of abstract art. Is that your leg we can see?

 

Maybe a lone person walking through it would have added a human dimension but apart from that its perfect.

I tried to hide, but it is problably my leg, so I hope you accept that there is a human being present somewhere in the picture.

Cool

Hi, Anders, great abstract with nice effect of the reflection, good to see it with your keen eye and well composed with your perfect skill!!! Best regards.

At first glance I thought you created this as a montage. This is a great idea for creating a single image photo expose. Good job of seeing.

Thanks to all of you for your comments and support.

A superb abstract. The image is very crowded with colors, lines, and arcs, but it all hangs together very effectively. Bravo.

Thanks Chris, one of the most challenging experiences when taking photos is in fact how to organise a composition when too many things go on within the frame. I have especially worked on reflections but fall in the trap of confusion too often. Look at my dossier on that subject and tell me what you think.

Anders, I join the others, it is a very nice geometric abstract, very colorful and well croped. Pnina

A very good shot . . .

 

But I have to ask how many you took. . . . with and without the white post on the right, getting your leg out of the frame, with and without the front railing, reducing the shadow area in the middle. None of them ruin the shot, but I'm just wondering how committed you were to this because it may have been possible to make a very good shot truly excellent. I could spend an hour there. (and maybe come up with nothing better. After all, I've never been there.)

Thanks Carl, you have very good eyes. In fact I have not really bothered about the pillar, but you are rigth, I should have considered how to eliminate it - but I did not ! (I can of course do it in photoshop). I think I took some four different Jpeg versions of it but concentrated mainly on getting the darker background rigth. My leg, I decided to keep in the frame because of the small persons just below - just for fun. It is by the way cropped as you can see. I will go back and try out whether I have improved my skills since. Thanks for your comments.

 

I have uploaded another version without pillar and I think better (in this folder).

What a wonderful abstract. You had the presence of mind to see the possibilities of this spot and get a truly arresting image.

Jack, I always wonder what went on the mind of the artist(?) when he made this entrance to a common metro station. Mostly it would be filled with office workers hurrying to and fro their work. Here it is an early Sunday morning, where the wonder is left for photographers like us to pass and discover.

And I can almost guarantee that those hurrying commuters rush right by without noticing anything. It takes the artist to reveal to them what is in plain sight everyday.

This is an absolutely wonderful image.  Outstanding eye.  Thank you.
