Hi Gosia
years since I visited Barcelona, but your stunning images from this city make me want to visit again. This is another fascinating and beautifully crafted image. Love the shapes and effect of this aptly titled work.

Have a great weekend - Brian.

Hello Gosia
I don't remember seeing this the last time I was there, but come to think about it, it must have been about 12 years ago, so it probably wasn't built then! I assume it must be near the two Gaudi buildings. I love the abstract quality you've got by going in close and filling the frame with the subject. I looked at your previous post and felt that it too could have done with a similar approach, as I felt the lampposts and lines were a bit of a distraction. Certainly not here: this is a cracker!
Regards
Will

Hello Gosia

My kind of shot! Waves rippling over the straight lines of the internal structure of the building. Nice abstract.

Hi Gosia,
A very odd and very nice facade to the building, from the thumbnail, it almost looks like something layered over an ordinary picture. Makes for a very unique shot. Great POV on it too!
All the best
Noel

Hello Gosia,
Do you have an idea in what year this building was constructed ? I'm astonished that I haven't noticed it in the Passeig de Gràcia.
A well chosen title fitting the white undulating lines but also the blue of the building behind it.
Ideal for a big city by the sea with a lot of modern architecture.
Best regards, Paul

carlo62 (12492) 2013-02-01 14:51

Ciao Gosia
taglio verticale con linee orizzontali, già questo è un bel contrasto, in aggiunta, le linee orizzontali sono movimentate in modo diverso tra loro e questo colpisce maggiormente l'attenzione.
Una bella idea ben realizzata.
Saluti
Carlo

Gosia,

Nice closeup view of this building made familiar here. I like how you've presented it, with the spaces between the waves presenting small little pictures, and the lines of the balconies contrasting well with the exterior. Nice blue glow as well. Thanks!

Witaj Gosia,
this spectacular facade is always very interesting to see, and your shot have caught perfectly its strong graphical effect by means of an efficient framing.
The sinuous waves of the architectural element adds a nice dynamic sense to your composition.
It's a beautiful work.
Kind regards,
Josep

Witaj Gosiu,
chyba wlasnie znalazlem kolejny dobry powod zeby odwiedzic Barcelone.Nie wiem jak moglem przegapic tak niesamowity budynek.
Twoj kadr znakomicie oddaje wyjatkowosc tej fasady.Do tego podoba mi sie sposob w jaki rozchodzi sie tutaj swiatlo,a takze kolorystyka zdjecia,dosc stonowana,bez mocnych bardzo wyrazistych kolorow,ale jednak zwracajaca na siebie uwage.

Pozdrawiam serdecznie
Krzysiek

annjackman (13177) 2013-02-09 3:12

Hello Gosia,
a marvellous picture, your firm composition exalts the elegance and dynamism of the repeated patterns and colours. The architecture is fascinating and your simple and well considered composition has captured its essence. Besides the strong optical effect and graphism, the viewer is gradually captivated by the intriguing details popping up here and there all over the frame. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a great weekend,
Ourania
