Interesting because I just watched a dvd from 'globetrotters' show and the funny animator was in bergen. How beautiful. This is truly an architecture wonder. Great view from the top! Tibo

Hi Stefano,
A great scene filed with interesting colours and geometric lines and shapes. It almost looks like a toy model of a city and not a real one.
Regards
Wanda

Wow.

That's what I like about Europe. People there seem to do whatever they can do to eradicate the mundaness of life. Here is one good example of it. The dull similar grey colour of the roof and the similar "sharp-edges" style of the houses were "killed" by the beautifully different colours of the wall. It's like a rebellion against similarity; or against "mass-production" if you would like to look for any connection with the consumerism of nowadays life.

It may seem familiar for those who live in Europe, but not for me.

Well done.
Toby

ciao stefano!
fantastic post processing here...it converted the sea of roofs into a theatrical decoration for a trolls and hobbits...
lovely scene...
best, j.

Very nice point of view allowing to play with the grey lines of the roofs and the saturated colors of the walls. A non usual view of Bergen and so an interesting one.

ciao Stefano ,
bella vista dei tetti molto colorata con un bel POV , anche se devo dire che ai tetti grigi preferisco il caldo colore terracotta dei nostri tetti .
ottimo lavoro
Giorgio

A good graphic and colourful shot. I agree it almost looks like a model city...something like sim city!
Well done!

Ciao Stefano,
Anche questa è bella, come dipinta.
Auguri,

Bellissima. Sembra la vetrina di uno di quei negozi che si trovano nel centro-nord dell'Europa dove vendono quelle bellissime e particolareggiate casette in miniatura stile tedesco. Immagine veramente piacevole, da gustare con la lente di ingrandimento. Complimenti.
A presto
Paolo.

Ciao Stefano,
Ma è un plastico o sono vere le case ?? Ovviamente scherzo ma la composzione è veramente originale e interessante, ottimi i colori.
ciao

Stefano,
This is a great composition with all of the lines and angles created by the rooftops. The lighting and colors are great with excellent sharpness and detail. This looks like the houses I saw in Alesund when looking down from Mt. Aksla.
TFS,
Asa

bostankorkulugu (33518) 2008-01-28 17:21

as you are one of the masters of fine graphics here, no surprise you have seen these details on the rooftops, stefano... well composed and cropped... simply beautiful...

It is beautiful picture with a great composition and superb colours. Everything is very sharp and the light snow creates very nice patterns. Well done.

Ciao Stefano,
mi piaciono i colori ed anche le strutture come in un quadro moderno.
Ciao Christian

bruce_wayne (1507) 2008-01-29 9:55

Ciao Stefano
questa è veramente una gran foto!!! Bellissima visione dall'alto, la geometria, i diversi colori decisi creano un'ottima composizione... La cosa che mi piace di più sono i contorni neri dei tetti, sembrano linee disegnate da un pittore, bravissimo!

Alessandro

johnfreeman (2220) 2008-01-30 9:49

Hi Stefano,
This is a really interesting composition, it has so many intersecting lines and different colours while remaining perfectly balanced. As others have mentioned, it almost looks like a drawing or a model, perhaps due to the effect of the grey roof tiles.
John

sebinho342 (18736) 2008-02-01 6:02

Hi Stefano, difficult to miss that one, i think this is perhaps the 4th time i see it ;)
Excellent, pictures seen from above as i love them : with search for graphism and aesthetism, you are good in that art.
Excellent level of contrasts, this is erally eye catching.

Mistral (13694) 2008-02-03 14:17

Ciao Stefano,
che effetto grafico, sembra quasi posterizzato!!!
Complimenti per l'inquadratura!
