Description London. Outside the National Gallery. Mmm, reflections.

The print looks a lot better than the scan came out, in my opinion. I love this photograph but I wasn't thrilled with the scan of it. Ah well, its still neat

This picture has such a modern feel to it. I love the mixture between the reflective windows and the light absorbing wall. Great balance of texture and tone. Your whole gallery is amazing. Thank you for sharing your work!

Wowwwww... I really like this one! There is so much that can be gathered from a photo like this. My eye is drawn to the sky, naturally, but the way you have the composition set up, it gives a new twist to an old concept. You have an excellent eye for beauty.

RedTalonTPF [2004-08-20 22:44:40 +0000 UTC]

Same as the other one, this puts a lot of focus on the shapes. Which I personally like to do a lot. The color difference between the wall and the window is very striking. The wall being very dull rough shade, stands quite in contrast with the bright sky reflected in the window. In fact by doing that you almost make the window organic, and natural.

Because when you look at it you are not seeing a window, or the lines and frames that make it up. You are seeing the clouds and sky, it is only after you really noticed the lines and details of the window.

Very well framed as well, having the window extend into the frame adds a very interesting touch. Makes it so you are viewing a piece rather then a whole. Sort of leaving it up to your mind to make the whole.

can also look like an interior shot if i change brain-perspective
the fluting on the side of the window looks like wires did you check out battersea power station?
