Photographer's Note
This photo is one of my first attempts to capture reflections.And I think it´s obvious who I owe the lesson of taking pictures of reflections:)Yes,it was taken during sightseeing tour with Juan in the @22,which abounds with opportunities to take such photos.It was definitely new subject for me to photograph,but I hope the result is not so bad and you´ll like it.
I couldn´t decide which version(B&W or in color) to chose,so I decided to attach one of them in WS.

Hi Krzystof,
I admire how you could get such a good capture with such a poor light! I did it too, but i gave up to upload it. Good work my friend!
Cheers,

Good morning Krzysztof,
Both pictures are marvelous. Great mirror you had found in Barcelona, and show this with fine outlines and clarity. The B&W choise enhances those lines - but the colors version has more f a vivid tones. my oppinion only.

Hi Krzystof,
Excellent choice in B&W; details are sharp, and the play of light and shadows create interesting festures.
TFS,

Hi Krzysztof
personally, i enjoy the color version more, but thats just a preference thing.
I know Juan loves to take these half wall reflection photos! using one side as a reflective mirror, and its actually very effective.
it takes a moment or two for the brain and eyes to connect and piece it all together :)
when that happens, you know you have a successful photo.
well done with this one.
welcome to the world of architecture reflections! get in on the action! so much of it around!!!
cheers

Hi Krzystof,
This works perfectly to my eyes. I love these reflection shots, and how they can confuse the eye and draw the viewer in. Barcelona seems to have so many fantastic wonderful opportunities like this, and you have taken this one and made a real treat of an image. I think Black and white is a great choice, I tend to like B&W very much in most circumstances.
All the best
Noel

Witaj Krzysiu,
Chyba jestem za kolorową wersją ale ta czarno-biała ma również swój urok. Doskonały kard, świetna jakość, czysta geometria. Efekt jest fantastyczny!
Miłego weekendu!

Hi Krzysztof!
Przyjemne aczkolwiek osobiscie wole wersje kolorowa , czarno biale zdjecie nie przemawia jak to kolorowe, ktore bardziej pokazuje bryly geometryczne i uwypukla wymiar budynkow. Niewatpliwie bardzo interesujaca prca

Ciao Krzystof,
a beautiful composition made of lines and reflections, you were right to post the WS-color, in this case I'm really doubtful about which is better, very nice graphics and symmetry, excellent sharp and a pleasant light and dark of a delicious B & W...
have a good sunday...

Hi Krzystof
D'habitude je préfère en couleurs mais ici le choix du N/B donne mieux, contraste et effet graphique très réussi, tout comme les reflets, j'en ai une aussi et j'hésite soit couleurs ou N/B, je la posterais un de ces jours et ferais comme toi , mettre une en WS, merci pour cette réalisation et l'idée
Belle soirée

Hi Krysztof,
It is a well-chosen framing, in a perfectly selected low-angle shot that works very well graphically, and gives a nice perspective to this well lighted building facade. Excellent architecture photo with high clarity and sharpness. Have a nice Sunday.

Czysta abstrakcja, dobrze ze skonwertowa³e¶ obraz do B&W. Kolor by niepotrzebnie odciaga³ uwagê od gmatwaniny linni na obrazie. A tak mamy zadziwiajaca, geometryczn± mozaikê. Bardzo dobra jako¶c obrazu.

I like both versions(colored and black& white)of your photos.

Great job.

Hello Krzysztof
I really like reflection shots like this one, and its something I always look for myself. Yes, I understand that it was difficult to chose between the colour version and the B&W one. I think I prefer the colour version, but it also works very well in B%W too. A wonderful clear shot where the reflected puffy clouds creates a nice touch of life at the facade. Superb:) TFS.
Best regards, Erling

Hi Krzysztof
Almost a double image- mirror reflection in mono, what a glorious reflection captured as we are presented by such a wonderful graphical lines and shapes which also works as great abstraction nevertheless. The hints of closer grid line grab attention too and make this work while the eye follows the natural movements around the frame trying to settle in. An excellent attempt and I am optimistic just looking at this creative vision of abstract nature. Well done.
Kind regards

Witaj Krzysztof,
beautiful the created reflection in the B/W format with the texture of the building to makes the image even more effective as adorable too.
The light and the colour managemet are great as bringing out the details of the image.

ciao Krzysztof,
il bianco e nero non è forse il modo migliore per esaltare i riflessi.
Tuttavia l'idea compositiva è da elogiare per la resa del gioco dei volumi e per il buon taglio che hai dato,
saluti

Hello Krzysztof,
Your attempt to capture reflections was fully successful indeed. The forms and lines are wonderful in both original part of the scene and reflected one. It is not easy to tell where are real objects and where are there reflections. A highly aesthetic composition and masterful capture! The black-and-white mode is quite appropriate in this case.
Best regards,
Sergiy

Witaj dear Krzysztof
What a fantastic shot. Beautiful graphism, so sharp, so well-contrasted and so luminous. The vertical frame and B&W are excellent choices. It almost seems three dimensional. And the reflections of the clouds in the buildings are the cherry on the cake.
Warm regards

Hello Krzysztof.
An image with great force, which is ideal in B & W. A very geometric composition, with many lines that give a nice graphics, the reflections are fantastic.
Very good brightness and sharpness, with good gradation of white and gray.
Have a good night.
Best regards.
Luis.

Hello Krzysztof - Although I like the B&W version of this composition very much, I think the coloured one has the edge here. The B&W is a super collection of geometric shapes and tones but lacks the context that the colour brings out. The other nice thing about the colour shot is the palette does not detract from the lines of the architecture at all, in fact it makes it easier to 'read' and I get a better feeling for the 3D aspects of the building. Both shots are super. I just prefer the colour version. Warm regards rosemary
