TWO RED CARS Photo

Photographer’s Note

I have one day and one night stop-over in Fort Lauderdale before boarding the cruiseship that will take me to the Southern Caribbean and the Amazon River. There was not much to do so I took pictures from the window of my hotel and this is one of it.

Fort Lauderdale, is known as the "Venice of America" due to its expansive and intricate canal system. It is a city located in Broward County, Florida, United States. As of the 2000 census, the city had a total population of 152,397. According to the 2004 U.S. Census Bureau's Estimates, the city grew to 164,578. Annexation of unincorporated areas in 2005 has boosted the city population to 170,823. It is the county seat of Broward County, and forms a part of the South Florida metropolitan area.

Cool and different idea - all in "red" - another view of cars on this almost empty parking lot.

Lovely minimalism. Well composed as you have split it in uneven quarters by rule of thirds and then filled the largest qurter with the cars. Lovely colorscale.

Very well seen, Andre, it is such a simple view as such but the way you present it you get a graphically rather compelling result. The two red cars, their shadows, and the scarce details of the parking lot blend into a rather interesting total.

That's the way I like it, Andre - contrastic light and colors, graphic shapes, interesting angle, and a very artistic composition. I also like vert much the yellow drum, IMO, it adds a lot.

Hello Andre,
Very strong graphical composition...the size of the cars, the lines and that yello things makes the composition really interesting.
