Let the colours live Photo

Photographer’s Note

Hundertwasserhaus - Vienna's famous apartment house, built in middle 80'ies. With uneven floor, vivid colours (different for each apartment, as you can see), unusual shapes and grass roof - this building is great, but how to get your furniture straight there?
Unfortunately, the sightseeing of this house is impossible, because all the apartments are inhabited, but there's a cafe where you can watch a film about this building (for free)and buy souvenirs.
Please do not mistake with another popular building in this style - Kunsthaus Wien, built quite close to this one, actually, you can get there by foot.

Hello Joanna,
This is a strange and fascinating house but also very well-known, so I'm satisfied that you chose this angle instead of just showing the façade. This way the focus is as much on the unusual lamp-post and the leafy surroundings as on the building. Which I guess has made this a picture, not just a photo.
Best wishes,
Gert

hi Joanna,
Hundertwasserhaus looks like a rather photogenic building and I find your composition smart and effective, considering the wide angle limitations of the A95 lens. I suppose you used the supergreat vari-angle LCD and shot from ground-level, otherwise i would suggest doing it in order to 'move' the lamppost a bit up and separate the two lamps from the background tree - this would look better, to my eyes at least ;)
be happy!
