A little colors again, after a few B&W.

This one is from my first visit to Manama, and like a couple of my previous posts, it is showing the contrasts of new and old, this time only buildings though.

Me always fascinated by this kind of compositions
Unfortunately in my town no many opportunities to shoot something like this
The blue makes a good foreground colour and the tower is so well visible
Hugs
Have a nice weekend

I like this graphics with his colors and his reflection.
The beauty and the smoothness of the minaret in the reflection are surprising.
Beautiful opposition between these style of building.

Hey,
this is a nice photo of the spire - creatively shown through a reflection of a grided building.
Very nice work!

Hi Harry,

The composition is superb.
Fine details.
The blue strikes..
Well done.

Vey strong graphic composition. You have framed it well with the side without reflections in the centre. The reflection of the minaret is in excellent contrast to the modern buildings.

Very successful the way you choose to show the contrast between the different architectonic of the two buildings, or to say better, between the two worlds.
Very good quality completes your photo.
Well done Harry.

A nice way to emphasize the architectural and cultural contrast between the two styles, with excellent framing and POV.
Good work

HI Harry,
Just beautiful -
A very graphic and splendid image with a wonderful contrast between old and new
Well seen

Harry,
something quite different form what I'm used to see in your gallery. Your approach here is almost a classic one - reflections on a modern building, but with this exotic (for my eyes and brain) and colorful minaret this is way beyond classic and cliche. Good abstractiscm.
