Salut Andreea,
Imi place cum e "lucrata" poza ta. A iesit deosebita. Parca e "out of time".
Si pasarea aia e de milioane :)

Hello Andreea,
This is a very dramatic photo. I like the POV and the part of the museum you have shown. The windows are especially nice. Very pretty sky and the sepia was a good choice.

Paolo (40635) 2006-09-13 4:33

Hi Andreea, amazing shot, with a beautiful and strong contrast and a unusual deep b/w with some purple tones!
excellent also the vertical POV on the facade and the flying bird.
thanks, ciao

TeresaT (10727) 2006-09-19 18:14

Hello Andreea,
What an impressive POV here.
Perfect details of the building and a very beautiful cloudy sky.
And of course the bird is an extra bonus to the compostion.

teresa

Very nice Sepia shot, so sharp and detailed.
Very good comp of a nice building.
I love the clouds in sky and good contrast in your picture.
Good Luck Andreea.

HI Andreea,

Very good POV and nice duotone colors. The flying bird gives a plus spice for the image.

Congrats,

adores (15255) 2006-09-28 17:22

Hi Andreea!
I really like this photo! The perspective of this Museum is great, the way you captured it, it seems it's reaching the sky. Sepia was a great choice!

cclaudiu (0) 2006-10-03 8:23

Gorgeous! Those clouds, the bird, sepia blend and POV; typical for Hitchcock movies... Post it on TL!

WhiteRose (10) 2006-10-05 12:10

The lack of colour really suits this composition. The low camera angle and the brooding sky work very well. I would have preferred the photo without the bird though.

IgorDeleze (9247) 2006-10-10 12:04

Hello Andreea,
Excelent architectural shot!
Percfect "catching" time with the bird.
Nice effect.
Greetings.
Igor

vthomas (688) 2006-10-11 11:46

Hello Andreea,
Very impressive point of view.
The post processing makes this image look very scary, it's actually a very good idea.
The bird could enter very well in the composition (excellent timing by the way) but now I'm not sure that it fits with the choice of colour that you have made. As I said the purpul colour gives a dramatic touch (for me) while the bird looks more peacefull (and might work better with a blue sky maybe);
Anyway, very nice photo!
Thanks
Vincent

sufi (9568) 2006-10-12 4:43

Merhaba Andreea...
Wow... It's a wonderful point of view and perfect composition, indeed... The light, the details and the sharpness are perfect too... Your choice about the picture's colors is great...
TFS...
stay well..

tobourge (871) 2006-10-16 5:34

Hi Andreea,

Great shot, with a beautiful and strong contrast and a superbe B&W colour.

Excellent also the vertical POV on the facade and the flying bird.

Thanks

I can't agree with u Andreea,
you are great photographer and this shot only confirm that. nicely capture, beautiful sephia colours and great pov. well done. thanks for sharing.

ryno (4568) 2006-10-18 14:14

This is such a lovely atmospheric shot, Andrea. There is something dreamlike and surreal about the lone freewheeling bird and the wispy clouds. An ethereal image. Great photo Regards,
Ryno

savask (1803) 2006-10-22 5:57

What a composition. The color you have chosen gives a mystique atmosphere. Well done

picardo (2282) 2006-10-23 10:23

Wow!... excelent picture. The details are great and very sharp. Nice B&W. You've been lucky to capture this great moment with this sky and the bird flying through. The B&W gives dramatism to the shot.
Excelent work

bonjour Andreea,

j'aime bien cette contre plongée et ce traitement un peu particulier, cela donne une authenticité à l'image, en mettant en avant son caractère imposant.
Bien vu aussi l'oiseau qui passe.

Hi Andrea,
wow, I saw it only now on your first page (featured photos) I like the way you converted it to B/W or sepia, the outstanding sharpness and composition. It's a really wonderful photo.
Have a nice day,
Tomi

sebcz (2345) 2007-01-27 5:37

Hi Andrea!
I like the moody light of that photo, somehow it looks threatening and horrific, the mood you've created made me scared a bit. Do you mind if I add that to my horro theme?
Seb

batalay (20680) 2007-01-27 9:49

Hello Andreea,

This is a beautiful shot of the Clock Museum, and with the bird you've captured in fleeting moment, makes it a classic. It is so much better in black and white than, I believe, it would be in color. I am glad it has been garnering the attention that it richly deserves. As a physicist, the notion of time is of great importance for me, and the engineering of fine precision pieces itself is fascinating.

Warm regards,
Bulent

robob (3640) 2007-01-27 12:12

Hello Andreea,
Une très grande atmosphère dans cette photo qui est accentuée par la présence de l’oiseau. Excellent cadrage !
Bonne soirée et à bientôt,
Robert

è proprio cosi' me la immagino la romania!

coco (27574) 2007-02-03 8:43

Hi Andrea.

Good composition and nice the black and white.
Perhaps did you make some postprocessing only for the sky?
What is sure is that is an attractive work (and that bird was just in the right moment).

Regards.

lilimih33 (9870) 2007-02-08 20:29

Hi Andreea,

A sight in low-angle really impressive and the treatment of the photograph accentuates the feeling of size and depth. I appreciate much the clearness of the image, it is very pleasant. I like the fly of the gull. A beautiful work, cheer and thank you for the Internet link.

With my all friendships and a good WE,

Jean-Charles

alejandroguzman (4672) 2007-03-05 21:48

designsoul (21394) 2007-03-26 8:39

Hohooo, Andreea, what a shot! Wow! THis is so haunting, so Gothic-looking (I don't mean architectural style), so powerful in its tonality and colour conversion. I can imagine Nosferatu climbing out from the roof!
Great moment captured!
sasa
PS will come back

pablominto (39884) 2007-03-28 3:31

banyanman (7716) 2007-05-31 11:00

I know this has been critiqued 65+ times already, Andreea, but I couldn't let this go past without adding my two cents worth. This is an excellent example of how such a simple composition with the right light, contrast and PP can be made into an outstanding photograph. I would have been very tempted to clone in a bat instead of the seagull though ;)

Cheers . . . David

Hi Andreea,
A very striking shot. The perspective and the choice of colour make this really stand out and give an extraordinary result.

jaywalker (12186) 2007-08-08 8:54

Hi Andreea, A very well composed B/W photo, the POV is excellent & the detail is amazing, the architecture highlights a great crafts mans work, the sky draws the beauty out & the gull is a nice finish to the shot, kind regards Wilson.

gunbud (27523) 2007-08-13 20:22

Hi Andreea,
Excellent POV as our eyes treated to extraordinary sharp intricate details to the every changing face of this wonderful building. The sepia and birds do wonders for this beautiful image.
Regards, Tom

hdl (6733) 2007-10-09 4:29

Hi Andreea. This is one of the best I have seen in a long time on TE. Your choice for the toning is the best here; in colour this would have never come out so good. Great shot!
