Music / Business Photo

Photographer’s Note

A close-up on two famous buildings of the 'Part-Dieu' area in Lyon : the one on the left is the 'Music' part. It is called the Maurice Ravel Auditorium and its scallop-shell shaped is very recognizable (though I know you cannot really realize this here). The one on the right - the business part - is one of Lyon's famous landmark, the 'Part-Dieu' tower, nicknamed 'Le Crayon' in French ('The Pencil'). It harbors a hotel and various offices. It rises up to 541 feet above the Part-Dieu area.

Hi Philippe.

Excellent work with a fine composition and graphism.
The colours and contrasts are good too.

Regards.

Hello Philippe,
J'aime beaucoup ce cadrage et le contraste entre les deux bâtiments, l'un évoquant la lumière et l'autre l'ombre. Bien vu et fait.

Philippe,

Appearing almost like two cogs of some vast machinery - like music and business perhaps, it seems that they will not quite fit together in harmony!

My regards
Colin

hi Philippe,
would you be surprised if I said this is my type of city/architecture photography? :) I like a lot the abstract shapes and strong graphics, with the blue sky and clouds forming the perfect backdrop. excellent clairy, I find it is essential for this kind of shot. nice one :)

best,
Kristine

Bonjour Philippe,

Excellent architecture shot with great natural colours and fine composition of curves and contrasts. Good picture! What I like most here, is the texture of the building on the left.

Bonjour Philippe,

Tres belle composition avec une belle netteté qui rend bien la texture du beton, notamment sur le premier plan a gauche.
L equilibre des volumes est bien equilibré. Je ne sais pas si j aurais tenté ce cadrage avec une representation partielle du premier plan, mais ca fonctionne vraiment bien ainsi.

Yves.

Salut Philippe

Et bien dis donc, on peut dire que c'est tiré à 4 épingles ça ! Quelle verticalité !
Un super cadrage qui prouve encore une fois ton originalité et ton oeil aiguisé.
La qualité de l'image est impressionnante, bravo.

Amitiés
Karine

Hello Philippe
nice composition: two different shapes, different styles on the opposite sides of the frame. Well saturated colors, I like it.
Have a nice day,
Rikk

Bonjour Philippe.
Sur la vignette j'avais reconnu les deux édifices. J'aime ce cadrage serré qui donne une composition bien pensée et rigoureuse.
Harmonie des couleurs et des formes !
A+

Bonjour Philippe
Two different styles portrayed here, composed harmoniously. The graphoc effect comes out very stronly & that bit of sky separating the two buildings add to the beauty. Well done!
