Hi Pablo,
A very original photo from a good POV. All the bikestands look very nice from here, also with some nice shadows. I also like the slight reflections that can be seen in the wall. The little bit of red was a nice addition to all the grey/silver tones. Very well done!
Regards,
Lars

Hello Pablo,

This just jumped of the screen at me and I have to reason why.
It is first the composition! Then the eyes are drawn round via the line of seats to that one, eye-catching spot of colour. After that, there is time to take in the lovely shadows, both on the wall, and on the floor!
Interesting notes.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Pablo,
Incredible movement and rhythm here. The pov and the reflection have greatly amplified this and it is very pleasing to the eyes. I also like how you relate this to the competition and the slate industry. A thought provoking shot!!

Regards and a nice day ahead.

Hi Pablo,

The reflection of the bike stands on the slate wall is an asset to the composition. The subject is well framed. The light brings out the colors of the slate. Was there a cost difference between the slate and the marble ? Have a nice day.

Hi Pablo,

very nice graphism. You have good eyes to catch the scene like you did. It's attractive in its shapes and lines. Perfectlly framed and composed. I like to see the red door on the edge and the black tubes as the main subject. Well done!

Hi Pablo,
pleasant high technical quality in that graphical impression. The "bow" is well placed in the capture and the good contrasts help to enjoy this. The final red is a good add-on together with the reflection in the marble.

Hello Pablo. A new era starts. Instead of the used landscape photos now a graphically structured photo. Composes very beautifully. The red in the upper corner right is ideally placed. Best regards, Wolfgang.

Muito original e bem realizada esta composição. Tem muitos pormenores se tivermos atenção, como o reflex e sombra.Onde estão as bicicletas? Desapareceram todas para tu realizares a foto? :)

Um abraço,

Hi Pablo,
It is a photo very different from what you usually post. But I like very much this graphics, the shadows, the very light curve of bikestands and obviously the magnificent colors with this extraordinary red touch.
Congratulations

Hello Pablo,
Both photos were excellent captured and many thanks for showing quarries as well so that we know how far it comes from and the location!
the image is fine with a good pov to show the stand and the slate, the reflection is truly beautiful under a good exposure and focus!
well done with thanks

Hi Pablo. A deceptively simple shot which grows on one the more one looks at it. The metal shapes are like some choreographed dance. The shadows on the wall are subtle and explain the "empty" space on the left.The contrasting red is a nice touch. I am surprised to see a sheen on the slate as I did not know that it can be polished to that extent. Regards. Klaudio.

• skippy007 (2310)
• [2008-05-15 17:49]

Hello Pablo, With a slate quarry so near I can understand the argument for it's use. Nice detailed shot but it's the bike stands that make this shot & the interesting shadows it casts on the marble wall. The little bit of red is a nice addition as is the reflections on the wall.
Well done
Thanks
Regards

Bonsoir,
belle photo de ce batiment curve ou sont placés ces fers recourbé et repliés, ils sont jolis a regarder, et leurs reflets dans ce mur de granid je crois sont de toutes beautés. Leurs ombres a leurs pieds donnent aussi un bel effet a votre photo.

Hello Pablo,

A unusual picture than usual, but I find the double shadows or reflections very nice.
The wall care for excellent form of the metal bike holder, also on the ground see we the small shadows, this gives a excellent composition.
Your WS is a totally other image, but absolutely very nice.
Thanks for sharing.

Best regards,
John.

• feather (38265)
• [2008-05-16 5:51]

It is a simple, graphic composition but also eye-catching and effective. Both the shadows and reflections are an integral part of the image, but it is the way the perspective carries the eye directly to the splash of red that is the winner. I can't decide if it would be better cropped from the left and the bottom. Anyway good shot

• [2008-05-16 6:01]

Hi Pablo, again I've learned something in your post. So why was the Opera House made of marble? The slate looks good to me, and when it's a local resource you would think there would be a very strong push to use the slate. Anyway, this looks good, I like the line of bike racks, and I like the reflection on the slate wall. The inclusion of the red doors is good too. You've gone from a basic black and white with the slate and bike racks to colour with the inclusion of these bright doors.

Thanks, John

The picture goes well with the note. I wonder how this shot will look like if it's in marble, no reflection?. I was also thinking shooting this in a closer view and lower pov. Well done.

Hi Pablo,
These elements to park the bicycles have a strong graphism and are outlined on the front a bit curled in a direct, simple composition and with very much visual attraction.
I like it, you have had a good idea and have taken a very interesting photo.
Best regards,
Josep

Hello Pablo,
nice shot that looks like as pictorial construction.You captured the bike stands with very nice graphistic way and at the some time a minimalistic one.I think that the more interesting thing in your shot is this bike stand.Information your note about the Opera's marble.

Have a nice weekend,danos

• Philippe (8813)
• [2008-05-16 13:27]

Hi, Pablo. The image has good graphic qualitites with the geometrical patterns of the skate and the repetition of the bike stands. The red door in the background brings a good contrast with the darker colours of the rest of the image. I wonder if a framing closer to the stands and higher on the slate wall would have worked too.

•  
• Truja (4900)
• [2008-05-16 13:37]

Hi Pablo,
I like simplicity and the minimalist composition but with great force. The monochrome tonalities only broken by the detail of red color print personality to the image.
The mixture of geometries converges in a graphical effect of great quality.
Different, creative and innovating, bravo!!

Happy week-end, regards,

Jordi

• trekks (6286)
• [2008-05-16 21:57]

hi Pablo

I like the curve here and very abstract view. The red at the end has given a good break to the grey and black.This shot is basically on composition to make it interesting. Slate has the advantage of free maintenance?

• UlfE (5455)
• [2008-05-17 2:35]

Hei Pablo,

A really fine bike stand photo with very attractive lines and curves. Also an interesting note. However, I do not know if your picture gives an indication of what the Operahuset in Oslo would look like with slate. Probably more dull since replacing white marble with grey slate would give a totally different impression. What do you think yourself? Otherwise I really enjoy that you have posted a very original picture and that you tell us an interesting story. Many thanks and have fine week-end!

Cheers,

Ulf

Hi Pablo,

Very original and nice composition with the subject in the upper right corner and in a diagonal line to lead the eye to the red doors at the end. The reflections on the wall and the ground are very good too. Excellent !

Have a nice weekend.

Hi Pablo,

A photograph which changes Norwegian campaign !!! However an original photograph and very graph, I like the reflection of these bikestands in the marble. The red shutters create a very appreciable key of colors. A well done composition and a good glance.

With all my friendships and a very good WE,

Minimalist, but the marble provided a nice reflection of this bicycle parking stands. The red doors in the back make a nice touch of color.
So you have managed to get back to the city after your nostalgic travel in the country of your youth...

Hi Pablo,
Interesting note about the choice of surface material for the new opera. Slate would probably have looked better in the long run, beside the fact that the white marble makes you literally snow-blind in clear sunshine...
This photo has an original composition with very attractive balance and colours.

I think you favored slate and I agree with you. It is lovely; I never realized how much it looks like marble. Of course being a native stone also makes it much more attractive. The WS adds good detail to your very interesting presentation.

• [2008-06-05 3:11]

Hello Pablo,

Symmetry is a wonderful thing, but too much symmetry is not as interesting as a little symmetry-breaking. Here you've presented the vacant bicycle stands with perfect asymmetry, and the more or less monochromatic image is highlighted by the red doors on the right. I like this image very much!

Warm regards,

Olá Pablo, what a diferent image from you. A very nice graphic one with a splendid composition along the diagonal.
