a nice picture and good POV, though maybe at the top of the arches seems a bit overexposed?
nice shot i like how there is the same amount of space either side of the building.

Nocturno muito bonito com alta definição, boa exposição e ausência de ruído digital. Bom trabalho, Sérgio ..

Hi Sergio you included a great set of qualities here: fine graphical content, well chosen angle, great reflection. Taking this with some light and colour in the sky would make it really perfect. Buts as I said, it's very fine as it is.

More that an architecture picture : a graphism perfectly managed and impressive thanks to the symetry.
I particularly like the fact that the black is so deep, as an opposition to the golden color of the building.
Great work in your portfolio too, congratulations Sergio !

stunning! incredible sharpness, beautiful reflection, perfect composition and framing. brasilia has some amazing architecture, thanks for sharing. i know it'd be cheating reality but have you considered cloning out the building in the right?

Hi Sergio, i's a beautiful night shot with great exposure control to render colors and their reflections at their best, framing and symetrical effect in two dimensions are spectacular !!!

Lovely clear image Sergio, you have done well, this is not the easiest picture to capture.
Well spotted!

This is a nice symmetric one, what a good light, colours and especially sharpness.
The view on this building is fantastic, Sergio, really nice done !

Perfect capture of the lighting and impressive design of the building. The reflection is perfect. I like how the bushes break up the space between the real and the reflected. The lines are great. I especially like how the building in the back disappears into nothingness. Very good. And I just saw your intro page. Thanks for the mention, I'm very honored.

ho la la, what a nice shot, how can you get a such a quality just by a digita compact, bravo!

Essa tambem e demais, que padrão fantastico. Gosto da simplicidade que o fundo negro cria em algumas composições, como neste caso, confrontando o neutro com os tons iluminados.
Um abraço Sergio.

Grandissima interpretazione. Gusto, tecnica ed esucuzione veramente eccezionale!!!

Interpretazione umoristica:
Grande dentiera che che ha appena azzannato un boccone succulento!

Well done, Sergio. There is not a lot I have to offer on this one. I like the composition, exposure and focus. As you noted, the building does seem to float on the fountain in the foreground.

•  
• MiguelP (13152)
• [2004-12-23 5:52]

Two buildings out of one. The definition of both is asthonishing, Sergio, and I like a lot the simetry of the compo. Great Job, I always wanted to visit Brasilia, watching your photos this desire is getting bigger and bigger.

Très jolie reflexion, c'est domage qu'il n'y ai pas des teintes vertes sur les éléments dans l'eau pour provoquer une complémentaire de couleur donnant ainsi un contraste de couleur.

A very beautiful picture, perfect exposure, very sharp and, in my opinion, a very nice composition, with a very good perspective.
Bravo!

You do have good eyes to see things around. Very nice and soft reflection. Good choice to take this picture from the diagonal view.

Hay, this is yet another fantastic night time shot from yourself, I really love your night work!

Brazil seems to have so many illuminated buildings and sculptures which make for brilliant photos.

Cant see anything to criticise here, love the symetry and the reflection, amazing! Fav!

***EDIT***
Ok I havent used the site for a while and I cant remember how to mark as a favorite, if anyone wants to enlighten me please do so :P

I notice that you are excellent in finding angel in taking picture. I love this picture in many aspects: symmetry, image reflection on water, sharpness, and colors.

Again, another great picture.
Congrats, Sergio

Sergio, tu as très bien rendu la beauté architecturale de ce monument. Les arcades font des courbes très pures qui se retrouvent avec beaucoup de bonheur dans les reflets. La lumière est parfaitement maîtrisée. Du très beau travail !

Hi Sergio - the symmetry is what makes it, and the perspective takes full advantage of it, the night lights make it look prettier, I imagine it must be duller during daylight, happy new year.

Hi Sergio, The mirrored reflection here is stunning & so perfect, you have captured the light wonderfully well, the balance is excellent & the title suits, I think the contrast of the dark & light is superb, TFS, kind regards Wilson.

Olá Sergio,
vi essa foto sua no livro sobre o Niemeyer que o MON publicou, ficou excelente, achei a mais bonita do livro, um belo trabalho seu amigo, depois da uma olhada lá que escolheram uma foto minha do TE também, e da Celma Leite, ambas da Igrejinha da Pampulha.
Parabéns e Abraço!
