Shoot buildings, don't take them home Photo

Photographer’s Note

'Antwerp - You may shoot the buildings but not take them home'

I think the owner of this car wanted to take home a part of the architectural patrimony of Antwerp.
The picture is taken near the Steen, a historic medieval castle in the old city center near the river.

Hello Paul,
I also have a similar photo in my gallery. I actually think there is a theme for car window reflections. Your photo has wonderful sharpness, and I like the mix of old and new architecture. The tree with red flowers also adds a nice splash of color to the scene.

dag Paul,

Dit is een van deze foto dat de samenstelling en het artistieke de doorslag geeft.
Een zijruit van een wagen kiezen met dit resultaat, vind ik opzicht een proficiat waard.
En dan nog de perfecte kleuren vinden, en een architecture van verschillende types.
Heel mooi gedaan, bedankt.

Groeten,
John.

Hi Paul.
A great POV in the execution of this photograph, the reflection is splendid and shows besides a beautiful old building as opposed to the other modern, flowering branch adds a nice touch of color and beauty to the composition.
Best regards.
Luis.

Very creative shot of this car window catching and bending the beautiful architecture.

Strong contrtast betweeen the modern and old architecture.

Maximum de détail, avec très bonne lumière et la couleur.

Good morning Paul,
excellent reflections on the door glass of the car with the shapes,clarity and sharpness to be just perfect.I like the vivid colours, as the brilliant light too.One of the most beautiful reflections than ever seen.Well done.

Have a nice Sunday,Danos

Longroute (11913) 2009-12-20 7:42

One of those coincidences which makes an original and surprising photo and which I've never met! (:-)
Actually you got two reflections: there is a minor one on the rear mirror too!
What to say? It surely is lovely and appealing, there are three outstanding features: 1. modern architecture, 2. Fine tradition architecture which contrasts with the previous one, 3. The very fine tree branch with the red flowers set in the proper position!
Fine saturated colours and a good contrast too. You really found the ideal conditions.
A fine and well achieved shot.
Compliments,
Donato

josepmarin (35801) 2009-12-26 3:57

Hi Paul,
A good idea in this framing. I like the graphism that offers us this capture on the blue car and its reflections of the beautiful architecture of the city, with an interesting distortion, a light well-controlled and a few beautiful colors.
It is a very creative composition, with a great result.
Best regards,
Josep
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year for you and your family.
