barcelona 2002 Traffic light and Hotel Plaza, Barcelona

First-time visits to big cities, such as Barcelona, always bring the

danger of taking very standard images: showing the famous buildings,

fountains and statues. With this image, I tried to get something

different. As the light was getting harsh, I decided to go for a

little abstract with a big hotel and a traffic light.

 

Normally I don't really like things "poking" into the frame, but here

I believe it may work. What do you think?

Great angles, beautiful colors

Very striking image, could perhaps do with a shade more saturation.

I like the shot except for the clock - it makes the image a little too busy for my taste. The angle you shot it with is quite cool though - I would crop it above the clock though.

I quite like the clock and think it makes the image. I see a story about time waiting at traffic lights. If anything, all of the subject matter is confined to the left portion of the image but I imagine it was hard enough to frame this in the viewfinder as it is. Then again the building filling the frame on the right helps keep the viewers eye in the photograph.
