Ciao Malgorzata,
molto bello l'effetto grafico creato da questo magnifico close-up, mi piace molto questo tipo di architettura, così moderna ed innovativa.
Mi piacciono i colori e l'inserimento dei numeri. Qualità eccellente, bravissima.
Un caro abbraccio
Giorgio

Hello Malgorzata,
Great shapes and colours. An excellent vertical presentation and well chosen crop.
Kind Regards, Ann

PaulVDV (15017) 2011-04-25 13:12

Hello Malgorzata,
Very beautiful composition of numbers and colours as you call it yourself.
I really like the fact that you've chosen to show a part of the building and not the complete construction. Your zoom is perfect.
Best regards, Paul

Hansaphotos (5449) 2011-04-25 13:18

Hi Malgorzata

What a great shot of the colourful facade. The repetative pattern and the numbers makes me think of bookshelves in a library or in an archive. Very well seen and perfect executed! TFS. Have a nice week!

Best regards, Erling

Malgorzata
Une étonnante façade dont le graphisme et les couleurs ne peuvent qu'attirer l'œil du photographe. Bon cadrage pour une très bonne photo.
Amicalement

amaryllis (30149) 2011-04-25 23:30

Bonjour
une photo de cette architecture qui laisse interrogative et pour 1972 me parait déjà bien moderne;
néanmoins une belle composition de cette façade avec des chiffres extérieurs, statistiques??? sourires
Bonne semaine
Juliette

Wanda1 (13950) 2011-04-25 23:53

Hi Malgorzata,
A nice combination of lines and colours make for a cool almost abstract kind of shot. The numbers are a nice detail too.
Regards
Wanda

Hello Malgorzata,
A fascinating graphical image with excellent colours and sharpness. I wonder why the top two floors don't have numbers.

paninho (2931) 2011-04-26 4:26

Bonjour Malgorzata!

Un regard très intéressant et graphique sur l'architecture d'aujourd'hui! Bien observé de ta part, malgré que ce n'est pas un des thèmes que je recherche!

Cordialement

Antonio

Bonjour Malgorzata,

Le cadrage est excellent et fait ressortir parfaitement tout le graphisme de Limmeuble et toutes les couleurs qui se croisent.

Amicalement

abmdsudi (26311) 2011-04-26 8:54

Hi Malgorzata
This is an eyecatching image with good detail, strong repeated bold lines and shapes. I like the tight crop of this image, works well as a graphical pattern shot, this make a perfect symmetrical design. The delightful bright colours are good as well as the overall contrast. Thanks to your keen in spotting this. Well captured. Congrats
Best regards

UlfE (13732) 2011-04-26 10:54

Hi Malgorzata,

Very nice and colourful photo. Very well spotted. Your POV was obviously very good since horizontal and vertical lines are perfect. TFS and have a fine week!

Cheers,

Ulf

cornejo (18130) 2011-04-26 11:40

Malgorzata cordials greetings. A picture very good and beautiful, very well composed and executed. Technically very well, a good work, congratulation. Have a nice night and happy day, thanks for sharing.

vladic (4153) 2011-04-26 14:10

Witaj Małgosiu,

Interesująca graficznie mozaika kolorów oraz zaskakujących cyfr. Piękna dokumentacja elegancji prostych logicznych układów.

Pozdrawiam,
Władysław

CLODO (24734) 2011-04-27 3:39

hello Malgorzata

The "level indication" is at the contrary of the height of the building! Good patchwork of colors, but the overall seems dull. You should have increased the saturation to get vivid hues (even if it not the truth!)
Cheers
CLODO

Silvio1953 (98259) 2011-04-27 12:40

Hello Malgorzata,
Superb graphic composition, beautiful architecture lines and decoration colors, excellent POV.
Have a nice weekend, Vasilis.

magalik (6095) 2011-04-30 4:59

Hi Malgorzata,

You're become master in this kind of shots, one of the best on this site.
Really a good eye for having seen the photographic potential of this colored contruction. The numbers enhance the composition according to me, they have an important place in this composition, as much as the colors.
Very well cropped. Good idea and good success.
Have a good WE.

Magali

Bonjour Malgorzata,
toujours à la recherche de graphisme au travers des architectures modernes. Ici, les motifs répétitifs mais judicieusement décalés en fonction des étages et les couleurs variées, font tout leur effet.
Mes amitiés.
Daniel.

Hello Malgorzata,
Nice idea and well managed colors.
A very simple lines on the windows & verandas - but the arrey of colors makes this rather special.
Have a nice sunday.
