Photographer’s Note

Longtemps ignorée et peu attrayante, Andorre est sortie de son isolement au XXe siècle, durant lequel elle a profité de son cadre naturel exceptionnel et a utilisé un système fiscal avantageux pour devenir une grande destination touristique. Si la principauté est réputée aujourd'hui pour ses pistes de ski et ses faibles taxes, elle est aussi souvent considérée comme un paradis fiscal.

C'est le seul État ayant opté pour que le catalan soit l'unique langue officielle.

Long ignored and unattractive, Andorra came out of its isolation in the twentieth century, during which it took its exceptional natural setting and used a tax system beneficial to become a major tourist destination. If the Principality is known today for its skiing and its low taxes, it is often considered a tax haven.

It is the only state that opted for Catalan is the only official language.

Attractive and interesting composition Didier.
The splash of blue colour, a bonus I'd admit.
Well spotted.

Hi Didier,
The variety of your photographic subjects always keeps me tuned on your gallery, you never repeat yourself with stagnant subjects. Here is a superb reflected graphism with strong shadows, i like the tilt and especially inclusion of the man on the exact place which gives an idea about what we are looking at.
Cheers,
Deniz

Bonjour Didier,
Je ne sais pas si Andorre présente toujours autant d'avantages pour y acheter des biens. Est-ce que les appareils photographiques y sont moins chers? La photo est une fois encore originale et créative, un vrai "dédoublement de personnalité". Excellente réalisation.
Bonne journée.
Amicalement.
Joël

Hi Didier,

it has a nice graphical apealing. The tilt and the mirror work very well for this sense. The guy is well placed in the frame and a nice focal point. Well done!
Amitiés,
Carlos

This reminds me of one of those situations where the person stands close to the 'mirror' and raises a leg to make him appear to be jumping while doing the splits.
Very creative image with good use of shadows, and diagonal lines.

Iassou Didier!

Quite "unusual" for your "style" but, what a fantastic photo!!! Amazing graphism, fantastic atmosphere, great architecture, great positioning of the "double" man. A futuristic feeling, with impressive graphism. Great perspective distortion. Congratulations!

Ta leme,
Hercules

Hi didier

Good sharpness & colour; & a nice catch of the 'Siamese twin' reflection. The diagonal tilt adds superb dynamism, & I like the high pov. Merci pour ce partage!

Salut Didier, vos photos ne font pourtant mieux en mieux. Je pense que ce plan est vraiment l'un de vos meilleurs. Le graphisme des ombres et les reflets sont superbes. (Et l'homme est belle). Excellente clarté et de la gestion de la lumière aussi. Une à accrocher sur le mur, mon ami. Best regards, Lisa

ciao Didier,
gioco di geometrie e luci molto particolare.
La totale monocromia dello scatto spezzata dalla maglietta azzurra rende unica la foto, bravo
saluti

Bonjour Didier,
This is a very creative and artistic POV, strong impress visually, and graphically very interest with shadow play, the color of his shirt draw us in and the mirror image give a nice illusional space and symetry. Good observation and excellently executed shot. Thanks
Way

Salut.Tres belle photo, avec un angle bien travaillé, peu de couleur,sauf le bleu ,bienvenu ici, profondeur et reflet.
Bravo.

Vato_Law (11686) 2009-10-05 11:02

Hello Didier,
very impactful photo due to the excellent approach to the shadows formed on the ground and glass.
The double scene resulting is very well explored to create impact and this diagonal tilted line gives it good dynamics.
Cheers.
