I really like this John - on the surface a really straightforward shot but well taken for the lighting and a good sharp image for an unsupported hand held shot in these conditions.Your awareness of and use of all these converging lines - especially the floor and ceiling effect is just superb!

very nice image

best wishes Kev

Bravo this is a beautiful capture.
Perspective is fabulous and at first I thought it was a museum.
Congrats for capturing the atmosphere of the mall.
David

Wow John, what a perspective ! You were not short of lines to lead the eyes :) The picture makes me clautrophobic. It's because of the ceiling and floor meeting on the horizon. I feel like captive of an Escher drawing.

redvers (526) 2005-07-02 3:11

Excellent shot. I like to take this sort of photo as well. I like the way the converging lines lead me to some people. Well done.

Bonjour John,
Quel beau graphisme dans cette composition ! La profondeur est superbe avec ce cadrage. Le sol et le plafond sont un peu symétrique. Bravo, excellente photo.
Amicalement.

John, very good technically. Considering the idea, it's a very common, typical shot. To make it more interesting I would suggest to use reflection from the wall or glass door, to change the POV (your POV is the most typical, straight from the man's height), to include somebody (including human being usually adds some relation to a photo). Or to find a crossing of corridor and shot the corner including two corridors... I really need something more creativity.

mitternacht (1836) 2005-07-02 3:25

Hi John,
You captured all the patterns and symmetries really well. All the different reflections and light sources are also nice. Maybe you should have waited until the people came closer.

Have a nice WE,
Simon

RGatward (19737) 2005-07-02 3:34

Interesting nicely realsied graphic interior here John, quite a departure from your usual style. Nice work.

Superb perspective, great DOF and sharpness, interesting symetry in your shot, congratulations.

gaudi-spirit (187) 2005-07-02 4:33

Very nice shot john. You play very well with the perspective and use very well all this lines for enhance the beauty of the pic. Well done.

Rockyboy (20580) 2005-07-02 4:37

C'est une photo vraiment dans l'esprit de TE, John! Par ailleur, j'aime bien aussi cette perspective et bien que tu n'aies pas fait la photo avec un trépied, c'est très réussi! Bravo!
Goed week end!

tars (808) 2005-07-02 5:22

Een excellente binnenhuis foto, John. Zeer scherp en ongelooflijk goed van belichting. Zeer goede diepte-perspectief van een mooi architecturaal geheel. Zeer goed werk.
Groet en prettig week-end .... Tars

aloyho (6109) 2005-07-02 5:28

Hi John,
I simply love this great trademark shot of yours. Firstly, the down to earth colours are very soothing and relaxing. Secondly the reflection midway on the ceiling breaks the rhythm creating those suspense moments that makes a story interesting. Lastly, the beautiful lighting of the interior is perfectly managed. Congratulations!!! Simply fantastic.

huynt (5077) 2005-07-02 5:31

Hi john
I always study your great shot. It is clear and very nice with 300D.Very well Pov. have a great week end. Huy

jmdaoudal (82) 2005-07-02 5:42

Magnifique, c'est plus une cathédrale dédiée à la consommaton qu'un shopping center, grace aux lumières et aux lignes bien captées.
C'est une bonne photo, réussie en intérieur.
Comme je connais le soin que tu apportes aux lignes et au cadrage, je propose une alternative dand le format et le cadrage pour sugerer une compositionun peu differente
Bien amicalement

jinju (14265) 2005-07-02 5:44

I also like it. The geometric simplicty of the floor and the ceiling and the details on the sides come together very nicely. I like the luxurious cleanlines and gleam of the interior, it sure must be an expensive place.

Ah_Thong (458) 2005-07-02 5:50

hi john..really nice composition.. those geometrical and symetrical lines really effective here.. they really capture my attention very well. and i also like the overall mood, colors and the feeling of this photo.. at first glance..it looks like lots of things in ur photo... after a while..i feel a bit lonely in this photo.. a bit mysterious..

nice job!

faubry (32277) 2005-07-02 6:02

j'aime beaucoup les lignes géométriques, ce genre d'image que je ne sais pas faire, bravo

MarekP (4744) 2005-07-02 6:05

Hi John,
Even though I'm not a fan of shopping centres (and shopping itself) I like your shot very much. Perspective, colours and depth are excellent. You have managed difficult light with many reflections very well.

Thanks,
Marek

Galmeida (12559) 2005-07-02 6:50

Hi John,
Allways a difficult shot in a indoor ambience, that you captured very well. Very good perpspective and enquadrement of these all details and elements. Good colors, light and contrast.

Very well seen ad composed!
Have a nice weekend.
Fernando

Dag John,

terug van even weggeweest in de Alpen. Vroeger terug omwille van de regen. Strakke lijnen hier in uw foto en haarscherp. Niet meteen een beeld dat we van U verwachten...

groeten,

Luc

hdl (6735) 2005-07-02 7:54

Ik vind dit grafisch heel sterk. Prachtig hoe die lijnen naar 1 punt toe gaan. Heel goede kwaliteit ook voor een interieurshot.

nwoehnl (118) 2005-07-02 8:35

Hi John. Very good perspective study from the shopping mall, in which the centered shooting position works well. The grid pattern on the floor and on the ceiling adds a strong graphical appeal and emphasizes the depth even more. Good work with the exposure.

maphoto (8076) 2005-07-02 12:05

This is indeed a very nice architecture John, I particularly like the ceiling and floor and the lines its generating throug the end of this corridor. As for the shot, it is an excellent interior shot, the light and the sharpness is excellent, color set up is great, well seen.

Fixfocus (9377) 2005-07-02 12:08

Nu moet ik toch een keer WOW zegen!
Prachtige afwisselling John!
Uitstekende Perspectief en een heel grafische compositie in excellente scherpte.
Prachtig werk!

Ja John, zeer goed geslaagd experiment,
goede lijnen, mooie kleuren, goede compositie, echt iets nieuws voor U john. Heel netjes gedaan,
gr. Jaap

Jean-Luc (5488) 2005-07-02 14:26

Bonsoir John,
Le regard est captivé par ces lignes et les réflections.
C'est assez impressionant..heureusement qu'il n'y avait pas trop de monde pour pouvoir réussir ce cliché.
Bravo, Well done,
Jean-Luc

Hi John
Excellent cadrage et composition

Goeieavond John,
Wat een leuk expiriment en wat een mooi resultaat is er uitgerold! Prachtige foto met al die lijnen en de reflexie van die lijnen. Erg mooi gedaan!
Groeten,
Lars

singuanti (15240) 2005-07-02 22:41

Hi John, an outstanding graphical interior shot. I love the futuristic styling here. I like how everything in the shot seems to be working its way to the middle off in infinity. You handled the interior lighting well. A fine interior shot John, keep them coming!

pamastro (7213) 2005-07-03 2:26

You certainly did an excellent job here. It's nice and sharp. And you really captured the long and tight space so nicely. All the lines, especially the grid of ceiling and floor, gives it a very impressive feel adding to the perspective. It also has a very graphic appeal to it because of that. And the people in the back add scale giving it a tight and almost claustrophobic atmosphere. And because of that I get the feel that it's underground, adding to the tight feel. Was it underground? Or just in a compact setting?

ChrisJ (70019) 2005-07-03 4:08

Hi John

Excellent use of diminishing linear perspective, with good contrast, & superb use of the repetitive, geometric squares, as a compositional element. Well done!

Hanssie (9133) 2005-07-03 7:34

Wow, John, what a spectacular playing of lines and perspective, no nature but this is excellent, it's very nice done !

weswang (18223) 2005-07-03 12:58

Hi John, I like the perspective view and the reflections of the grid on the windows. You have done an excellent job in taking this indoor shot. A very sharp and clear image. Well done.

Paolo (40694) 2005-07-04 6:03

What a GREAT image John!
the perspective, the light and the colors are all at top levels!!!
also the pov is really perfect to capture that mall's gallery!
thanks, ciao

AmiBe (6042) 2005-07-04 15:17

Hi John,
technically it's a very good shot. The exposure, color and sharpness are very good.
To improve the shot I want to see a man or woman looking through the windows.
If he's close, it's better for me.
Anyway I like to look at this picture.

Kenny10pin (19301) 2005-07-04 22:17

great shot of this store, I like the lines and the shopping centre too, I think you were getting a few stres, well done

oochappan (22032) 2005-07-05 15:20

En mijn laatste groene attentie op een vrije dag is natuurlijk voor John, een ongewone photo weer van jou die er levendig tussenuit springt door de geweldige kleurcontrasten licht/donker haarscherp inspelend op al de grafische ritmes in dit moi centraal convergerend perpsectief naar de mensen toe, werkelijk een prachtig interieur landschap ... :))

Steft (5962) 2005-07-08 12:47

Leuk - en een keer iets heel anders dan dat u normaal op de foto zet.
Wat een prachtige lijnen hier, het lijkt haast wel een tunnel. Volgens mij is het niet makkelijk om binnen zo'n scherpe foto te krijgen. Mooi ook dat de lijnen van het plafond ook nog wat gereflecteerd worden in het glimmende glas.

Xalkida (11740) 2005-07-09 18:30

Perfect balanced photo of this nice place. I like the lighting and the colors. These straight lines makes a very fine geometrical composition!

mumek (17468) 2005-07-19 22:01

The geometry,graphism,perspective are excellent. Very clear, sharp, colorful capture of the shopping centre. Congratulations John!
Thanks for sharing

Walking in my own city Duesseldorf I'm quite blind. I would say that I'm there quite every week and I had never the idea to take any photo there. Now that I can see it with your eyes I wonder why I didn't. Great shot.

btw. I hope you had a good time in Düsseldorf.

Nino.

Rushabh (389) 2005-08-21 13:36

The lights and the tiles give a good prespective to the image. The shops kind of frame it. The people gives them the photograph the dimension. TSP

Oldtree (2457) 2005-11-06 11:56

Well seen and excellently captured, John. The lightning and sharpness are perfect and the pattern with your chosen angle gives the whole scene a fantastic perspective.
Greetings

pboehringer (770) 2006-05-13 19:34

I don't know, but I don't understand, what is your problem? This pic states clearly that you're an expert for this type of photography. Everything, composition, colors, saturation, contrast, is just perfect.
Keep producing pics like this.
Very good note.

hitesh (594) 2006-08-29 4:22

Hi John,
The best thing about this picture and all your pictures is that you always follow a line that extends to horizon and framed perfctly.I like the sharpness,colour and clarity of your pictures.
Best wishes,
Hitesh

pierrefonds (26105) 2007-01-31 7:12

Hi John,

A good POV of the interior of the shopping center, the photo has a good composition, perspective and nice colors. Thanks for sharing.

Excellent perspective, John.
Wondeful compo!

Hi John,
Interesting perspective. Nice play of lines.
Not many people inside.
