Photographer’s Note

A great city is not merely a collection of buildings. It is a place of connections. At its simplest, a connection can be a bike path that connects a neighborhood to the waterfront or a bus line that connects people to jobs. At its most fundamental, a connection can be a shared space - an urban plaza, a neighborhood park, a community institution or even a coffee shop

The glass building seems to be melting into the sky with all those reflections of the sky and clouds falling so superbly on it and the other two layers of the image make it ever so interesting. True civilisations are not about people alone or only about the buildings they build. they are about the ethoes that the generations carry forward.

Hi Assi,
I love the juxtaposition of the various buildings and the statue. The contrasts in tones also adds interest. Funny thing, on the thumbnail (and even here to a certain extent), the skyscraper almost blends in with the sky. A good use of wide angle here. Well done!

Hello Assi,

Nice to see how that building seems endlessly high with those clouds above it. It's like piercing through the clouds.
Very nice contrast also with that red building and the statue. Nice!!

Greetings,
Dennis

Ciao. Nice to see those different architectures. I find the image well composed, and the colours are vibrant, and the sky adds a lot to the composition.
Any post processing on colours?

Hi Assi,
A fantastic shot of this place with a mix of different styles and the statue of this sitting man in the foreground that makes it a rather incongruous picture. It almost looks as a collage which would have been obtained by pasting different images together. The skyscraper appears like a watermark and makes the other elements of the foregroung stand out perfectly with vivid colours.
Best regards,
Christian
