Bullring Walkway, a photo from West Midlands, England

Photographer's Note

Yet another shot of the Selfridge's building in Birmingham. This must be my sixth or seventh post of this place in the past year or so, so appologies if it's getting boring!

This is the walkway from the car park right into the second floor of the store. It is approximately fifty feet above ground level and looks pretty scary to walk across.

Enjoy.

Hi Michael
love this! Your POV and the mixture of shapes and colours is stunning. Superbly sharp and I love the reflected bubbles in the windows - it is like the building is one big Aero bar! Yummy!

Enjoy a great weekend - Brian.

Ciao Michael
un'architettura che ha ispirato molti dei tuoi scatti ed i motivi dell'interesse sono evidenti.
Ogni piccola variazione al pov crea un'immagine piacevole ed interessante.

Hello Mike - This is a great POV and a strong composition. The sweeping walkway leads my eyes straight to the 'Bullring' sign and, more interestingly, the super reflections in the windows. Neat work packed with detail. I like it. Have a great w/e Rosemary

Hi Michael,
I visited the bullring once many years ago, and as I drove past, I did admire is unique design. I never got a chance to shoot it though. Shame, ths is a really fascinating shot of the place, with lots of cool elements, the depth offered by the reflections, the design of the building with its aero bubbles and of course. The bridge which does indeed look quite scary. Really nicely seen and unusual shot.
Cheers
Noel

Hello Mike,
great to see you again! This is a fantastic image from a very original and creative point of view. I like very much the play of perspectives, shapes and colours and the sense of fluid and dynamic motion you have produced. The contrasts are superb and the stormy sky plays a great role in the creation of a special atmosphere and maybe even a story in this rich architectural shot. Excellent work, congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a lovely weekend,
Ourania

Hello Michael,
you took this photo from very interesting POV and the result is outstanding. I like the combination of all these lines. The reflection on one of the buildings create more interet. Colors are attractive and well balanced.
Thanks for sharing
Regards
Kamila

Hello Michael,

Oh, wow, this is strong!
The lines, the curves, the shapes, the colours, they lead and interact with one another with the fluidity of a stream!

Have you been watching Selfridges on Sunday BBC?

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hello Mike,

Well, I think you really do like this place, don't you?

But there's no chance of our becoming bored with your pictures of it as each one is so very dirrerent from the last - and this is no exception.

Excellent novel and thoughtful composition, lovely colours, perfect light and exposure and excellent depth of field and sharpness.

Fabulous!

Kind Regards,

John.
