Photographer’s Note

I really like this one... I think it's one of the best motifs I ever decided to take a photo of... I was just fascinated by seeing a real modern building mirroring some of the oldest buildings of Chicago.

Good evening, Bertolt,

I have to admit i was attracted to the thumbnail as much by your username as your photo. Do you raise hamsters or something?

This is really a great photo, for its point of view as well as the wonderful coordination of strong lines and the clear reflections which give us a view across the street. All in all, a very creative capture; I look forward to seeing more of your work.

Regards,
Lisa

Hi Bertolt and welcome to TE.

I am impressed by the way you filled the frame with buildings and their reflections, with only the small part of the sky left.

take care, Aleks

This is a great architectural shot. Good colors and wonderful reflections of yet more great Chicago architecture. Your composition, capturing beautiful Chicago school architecture, has a dramatic angle and strong lines. Great job.

Wonderful photo, Bertolt! The lights are very well balanced, showing nice true colours. The sharpness is great, showing many details and amazing reflections. I see that there is a blue ball on the right upper corner. I don´t know what it is. Seems like a light from inside the building. Its amazing the details from that light brown building! Well done! Congratulations!
