URBIS reflections, a photo from Manchester, England

Photographer's Note

Manchester is a changing city and many of the brick buildings are destroyed and replaced by iron and glass sky scrappers. The low sun illuminates in yellow the old building which is reflected in the windows of a new one (URBIS)

Bravo Claude, c'est vraiment excellent!
J'adore ce contraste entre le bâtiment tout lisse et son reflet tout ridé
Doit y avoir maldonne car le ridé est le plus neuf !!
Bonne soirée, bien amicalement

Salut Claude ,
Superbe capture que cette bâtisse aux briques dorées par la lumière du soir , avec son reflet lui aussi magnifique . La ligne qui sépare les deux façades aurait pu être centrée , peut être ...

really nice effect... it's like watching the building on the right unfold from the left, first darkness and then slices of golden light and then, finally, the whole of the building.
there's also a play with textures and structures that I like very much.
I remember seeing some modern glass building in the centre of Lyon, breaking the homogeneous traditional architectural style and providing great reflections at sunset - when planned and distributed with measure, I quite like the final result.
good work here, really :)

Ciao Claude!
A parte la bellissima luce ambrata del sole prima del tramonto, la foto è fantastica soprattutto per l'effetto del riflesso! Bella intuizione, ottima realizzazione!
Saluti, Nino.

Claude
Étrange vision de ce bâtiment très jaune (on le saura que tu as un Nikon -)) et de son reflet tout plissé. Très bel effet! Je suppose que tu as dû aussi t'amuser en ne cadrant que le bâtiment moderne?
Amicalement

Bonjour Claude,

Belle idée de point de vue et bonne utilisation des teintes denses et saturées. Le cadrage serré, sans ciel focalise le regard sur l architecture. Joli rendu,

Yves.

Re,
je n'avais pas vu en vignette que c'etait des reflets (je croyais à des fils electriques..un peu obsédée je crois!!)
un jeu geometrique et lumineux superbe!
j'aime beaucoup

Bonjour Claude!
Interesting composition & its the dominance of the pastel yellow which makes this beautiful. The angle you chose for this picture is good with the pattern of reflection on the glass quite amazing!
Best Regards
Angshu

Hello Claude,
This is a wonderful way to combine old and new architecture. The reflection in the modern building is beautiful. I like the different windows and yellow color on the older building. Very nice framing and presentation, too.

Bonsoir Claude,
Cette photo qui m'est apparue en cliquant sur ton profil m'a sauté aux yeux tant la lumière est éclatante ! Le reflet de la façade sur ce mur de verre en est rendu encore plus attractif. Architecture ancienne et architecture moderne forme ici un bel ensemble.
Amicalement,
Delphine
