new york Metropolitan Opera, New York. The Entrance

Taken under difficult conditions affecting the symmetry, because the

external door was closed. I liked the lines though, and this is why

I'm posting it. Thanks for rates and comments.

How'd you get rid of all the people? :-) Nice symmetry.

There is an external forged and gold-plated door, separating the main entrance from the hall before it. As no performance took place that time the door was closed and the room empty of people. The image was taken slightly off-center with the lens peeping through a space of the forged artwork. As I was making the shots an employee came and told me to stay aside, because he wanted to open the door and enter the area. He was quite serious, bored and laconic, so I didn't dare ask his permission to enter the room, thinking that the software at home would correct the imperfections... You see, due to the PC's comforts, the brave photographer's days belong to the past :-) .

hi,

mesmerising symmetry. no doubt it was a very difficult shot, but I like the lines, colour and composition. it prompt me to look at other photos in your portfolio. you have a very good eye.
