Well you really mastered making interesting photographs by using architectural elements and play of light. It is not an easy job so first my congratulations for that. This is one of rare photos (ok not so rare but comparing to whole opus it is) where you included human figure and it works great. I am not one of those who claim that central compositions are boring and not working, for me they work if the work is rightly done and you did it by using the play of light and color accents. I like it.
By the way who did you menage to make so many photos of architecture without human interference? just wondering. it is hard work to do, and when I have India in mind, wow.
ciao and thank you for commenting my photographs. As I wrote, I came back here after looong time, so thank you for encouragement.

The atmosphere here is great. The emptiness of the foreground and blurred man running while looking towards the camera, there could be nice story if one would try to make one. The rhythm and the depth suggested by columns and lines works perfectly with this accidental runner that "ruined" your photo, but in my case he actually made it not to be dull.

There is something for me in wall-paper photographs as I call them - when photography abandon what is one of the most particular thing of the medium - the depth. When photographer do it rightly it can be great, as in this case. Everything is glued together and it works. Color accent and title helped not to be boring. Another thing which imidially atracted me towards this one (I was looking what you have been photographing lately) are this rusty walls. I have a thing about it. anyway, great photo Luko.

Even though you already got many points for this one I can't resist to write a note of my own. Immediately when I saw it, maybe the title helped in that a little bit, it reminded me on Wenders movie Wings of desire. The atmosphere, her artistic appearance... I love everything about it but I have one complain, even though I know it is hard to make a perfect street portrait; I would prefer if you didn't cut her hand. the cut of accordion although is perfect, suggesting the stretching, going out of the frame. I love it. Beautiful photo.

Hi Darko (I will write in english for purpose of this site),
I really don't know why this photo hasn't got more points. To me it is absolutely beautifully captured. True landscape photograph that breaths with all magical powers that this place has. Water - wonderfully captured, creating feeling of eternal flow of this little waterfall, magical. Composition - almost perfect. Colors - just as they are, not artificially created for purpose of more points. I can almost feel that small of mixture of water, leaves and moss. I love it. But who knows maybe I am just emotionally connected, but I honesty doubt.

fantastic photo;
emotions are simply bursting and coming out of it in almost infectious way.
the composition is great which is nothing unusual for you, and the moment as it is, caught in this decisive moment is beautiful.
