Deep reflections, a photo from Barcelona, Catalonia

Photographer's Note

Another photo that I took around the W Hotel in Barcelona, in which I wanted to catch the reflections of the hotel on the glass front of a building that is placed in front of it.

The light was special, the clouds and the sky were attractive, and especially, the reflections were creating a graphical very interesting merger on the glass front, because it was looking like a transparent wall.

I shot my camera and I liked the result, I hope you like too.

Otra foto que tomé alrededor del Hotel W en Barcelona, en la que quise captar los reflejos del hotel sobre la fachada de vidrio de un edificio que está situado enfrente.

La luz era especial, las nubes y el cielo eran atractivos, y sobre todo, los reflejos creaban una fusión gráfica muy interesante sobre la fachada de vidrio, porque parecía una pared transparente.

Disparé mi cámara y me gustó el resultado, espero que también os guste.

Ciao caro Josep,
anche a me piace moltissimo il risultato, un mix di bei riflessi, grande effetto geometrico, colori eccellenti, un POV perfetto che esalta l'architettura della costruzione, ed una qualità da top class. Complimenti.
Un caro abbraccio
Giorgio

hello Josep,

Very impressive capture of the building on the glass of the hotel front. I like the nice geometric shapes formed by these reflections. The colors blend very well and the gray sky makes a nice background. Nice modern architecture with blue , green and gray colors. Nice inclusion of the reflection of the person in pink clothes .

Hola Josep,
Splendid modern architecture picture.
What a special light! The sky, the other building and the palmtrees are beautifully reflected in this glass facade. There's no way that we can look inside this building.
Best regards, Paul

Hello Josep,
this is a fascinating picture, a composition of fabulous elements and transparencies that you have really succeeded in merging into the lustrous glass surface. The exquisite lighting played a great part in the achievement of this splendid effect.Perspective and clarity are marvellous and the merging of colours and textures is captivating as well. Well done and thank you!
All the best,
Ourania

macjake (39235) 2012-04-23 14:00

Hi Josep
yes, this one reminds me so much of what you'd find in Las Vegas.
love the long perspective lines, the colors, and the reflections.
the height of this glass also seems to continue on for infinity - i like that.
Barcelona seems to be a never ending supplier of fine architecture.
cheers

Hello Josep,
I enjoy the layers of reflections and the green and blue colours. There is a very futuristic feeling to this image. The cloudy sky has helped the atmosphere.
Excellent.
Kind Regards, Ann

Hola Josep.
Que fantasia mas bonita has captado es esta composicion, me encanta este juego de reflejos, que da una sensacion etérea a la imagen, en ella se mezcla un poco de todo, la fachada del hotel, el reflejo del otro edificio, el bonito cielo salpicado de nubes y todo ello se armoniza de maravilla, no solo en sus elementos, sino incluso en colorido, con esta bonita mezcla de tonos verdosos y azules.
Muy bonito trabajo amigo mio, original y creativo. Mis felicitaciones.
Os deseo una buena tarde y te deseo disfrutes con el partido y lo ganeis, seria bueno que la final fuese española, asi al menos en Europa tendrian que reconocer que en futbol van detras....
Un fuerte abrazo a ambos.
Luis.

ManuMay (33361) 2012-04-24 9:15

Hola Don Josep!

Creo que ya sabes cómo me gustan estos juegos de reflejos y sus efectos...esta me parece genial sobre todo por los tonos de color que la composnen, por el punto de fuga creado por la pared, por el cielo reflejado que parece tener continuidad...Me encanta...Una de esas fotos que uno disfruta haciendo...Seguro!!

Un saludo...

Manu

Olá Josep!
Mais um bom exemplo de arquitectura em Barcelona! Gosto do pov, das cores e do reflexo nos vidros.Bem conseguido!

kabel (991) 2012-04-27 20:11

Hello Josep, it seems you have a whole series of architectural images here in Barcelona. The city sure has changed alot since I visited it in the 70's. Are you going to start a theme with these images? They are wonderful, fantastic reflection shots. I applaude you, my friend,
Best regards,
Karen

Angshu (51174) 2012-05-02 3:01

Hola my friend Josep
The juxtaposition of the reflection & the real colour bands behind the glass creates a good scene. The diagonal disposition creates good depth & also a fine perspective. Well seen & captured!
Best Regards
Angshu

Salut Josep,
Interessants reflets sur ces surfaces vitrées, les formes et le graphisme valent la photo, teintes douces agréables.
