Saône Reflections - Abstraction Photo

Photographer’s Note

Voici une nouvelle vue des façades des pentes du quartier de la Croix-Rousse, à Lyon.
Cette fois-ci, leurs reflets sont très distordus par les vagues de la rivière, et cela produit un tableau presque abstrait.

---------------

This is another view from slopes frontages from Croix-Rousse district, in Lyon.
This time their reflections are so distorted that it produces an almost abstract painting.

Hi JB,
Amazing effect create by the natural phenomenen, the wind and the flowing water, really abstract, very well to uncover it, colourful reflection, artistic pattern, perfect shoot.

Bonjour JB
Une image très créative aux beaux reflets colorés, faisant penser comme tu le dis dans ta note, à un tableau abstrait. La distortion crée un bel effet visuel.
Amicalement

Hi JB!

Excellent observation - it looks like a fabric! You have very attentive eye and open mind my friend. Great idea - fantastic realization.

I very like this shot.

Salut JB
C'est vrai que c'est un peu abstrait tout cela, mais c'est tellement joli. En plus c'est un réel plaisir de prendre ce genre de photo. Cela donne un autre regard sur le monde.
Amicalement

Good colorful abstract JB. A very artistic shot...Good use of a reflection. Good eye to catch and compose.

Nice work.
John

Salut JB
Je salue le coup d'oeil de l'artiste... Il pourrait s'agir d'un tableau d'un peintre.
Bonne journée
Christophe

Salut JB,
Ah, ces façades, elles sont un de tes terrains de prédilection. Très belles couleurs saisies dans ce reflet.
Amicalement,
Fabrice

Another wonderful abstract painting. Lovely colors and texture on the water. Exposure is perfectly handled, which is not necessarily trivial here. Good work, JB. Regards,
Hakan

Dpbours (220) 2007-07-31 1:22

Hi JB,

Nice. Really nothing to see in it, but if you let your imagination work a bit quite a lot to see in it actually. One moment you almost forget it's water and another moment you know, but you almost forget it are reflections. You shouldn't be epileptic looking at this shot ;-).

Greetz, Dennis

smarcell (14653) 2007-07-31 1:59

An abstract picture ! I like the fact that it is almost monochromatic, with the pattern of reflections which is repeated all over the frame. Good !

TAEvents (4760) 2007-07-31 2:08

Bonjour JB

Qu'importe ce qui se reflète dans cette image, le resultat est spectaculaire, bravo. Les couleurs et les mouvements d'eau donne à cette photo un air de toile, un tableau...
Tres bonne journée,

Thierry

Floydian (30970) 2007-07-31 3:28

Hi JB,
Almost a painting, very abstract. A really superb presentation of light, reflection and composition...great piece of work.
Regards, Henk

GilbertB (12246) 2007-07-31 3:29

Salut JB, très belle composition, c'est vrai que l'on croirait voir une peinture abstraite. Amitiés.
Gilbert

Budapestman (42876) 2007-07-31 3:47

Hi JB,
Great impression, really particular spectacle, I like the beautiful colours and the artistic spectacle, its so than a modern painting. Creative work, Congratulations. Have a nice day
George

devimeuxbe (56398) 2007-07-31 4:03

Salut JB
On est plus proche de l'art abstrait que de la photo d'illustration. J'aime bien ces couleurs chaudes et ces lignes hésitantes.
Amicalement
Bertrand

pally3100 (3073) 2007-07-31 5:06

un genre de photo que j'affectionne particulièrement bravo continue ! Henri

john_c (24635) 2007-07-31 7:43

Bonjour JB,
An artist's palette unfolds here. The distortion is really quite remarkable. You should blow this up and frame it on a wall - it would really wake you up in a hurry most mornings...An innovative idea, well presented.
John

jwmunro (6255) 2007-07-31 8:09

Bonjour JB -

Stunning is about all I can say! This is very Monet or Impressionistic abstract to say the least. Try printing this large and see how it looks. I am sure this would be a wonderful wall hanging with the right matting and framing. Bravo, well done!

Thank you for sharing.

John

Wow, from the thumbnail I thought it was a photo of a field of flowers!
Great shot!
Jorge

lucinka (9920) 2007-07-31 9:31

Salut JB, you've definitely got some attention on this shot here on TE and truly so ! What a great idea to use reflection of the houses in the water. I originally thought it was taken in Venice but was surprised to find out it was taken in Lyon. Well done. Lucie

quillo (7344) 2007-07-31 9:47

A greeting from Spain.

xavshot (63137) 2007-07-31 9:48

Bonsoir JB
bien vu le graphisme et les couleurs de ce tableau. Je pense qu'une version grand format devrait être également top. J'aime beaucoup ce résultat. Bravo
Xavier

jafadabret (40369) 2007-07-31 10:48

JB, j'aime beaucoup cette composition digne d'un grand peintre. Le graphisme est des plus intéressants et les couleurs sont sublimes.
Jacques

prumod (8264) 2007-07-31 10:53

hi bubu...
your experiments are giving very much pleasure to eyes! incredible colors!
greetings...

belido (16899) 2007-07-31 12:15

Hi JB,

excellent grafism. There is not too much to say. Maybe that could be easily on the wall of my living room. Great work!
Regards,
Carlos

gilou530 (35710) 2007-07-31 12:42

salut JB
une vrai oeuvre d'art abstrait des reflets magnifiquement travaillés et mis en valeur par tout travail de post, de trés belles couleurs
amitiés
gilbertr

jasmis (51029) 2007-07-31 13:58

Interesting motive. Impressionism rather than abstractionism.

Regards!

Angelillo (9065) 2007-07-31 14:22

Bonsoir JB,

Un nouveau cliché qui rappelle Monet... c'est superbe et comme tu dis bien l'abstraction fonctionne très bien, à cause des couleurs et de la repetition qui donne une très belle texture! Merci!

Amitiés,
Angel.

luiscar (3282) 2007-07-31 15:18

Hello JB
I am glad of your image, me the originality that you have had and as your intuition for things, where others do not see them.
in the water I like the reflexes, but more your creativity.
good work
a greeting

bruce_wayne (1507) 2007-07-31 16:29

Hi JB
simple composition...but wonderful!!
This shot seems a picture of Van Gogh...great!

Alessandro

chrisnet (20376) 2007-08-02 2:18

Hello JB,
Très graphiques ces reflets sur la Saône, j'aime beaucoup ces couleurs qui ondulent, c'est créatif et bien réalisé.
Amitiés
Christian

jemaflor (39759) 2007-08-02 2:47

Salut Jb,
Bonne idée avec ce cadrage serré sur ces reflets, l'effet de répétition et de lignes ondulantes donnent un excellent résultat, c'est très lumineux et donc superbement esthétique.

brevbrev14 (372) 2007-08-02 3:18

Hi JB, il ike the game of this reflection!
good golden tones and game in the water!
ciao!
Valeria

balatrek (7419) 2007-08-08 12:38

Hi JB,

A simple image but of great visual impact, good idea to center the composition on the reflection in the water, a great result, of impressive resistances and beautiful colours, an interesting, creative work and of abstract tendency. TFS

Regards
José

Standa (1861) 2007-08-20 3:11

Hi JB,
painting from a gallery? Graphic art? Any artist I don´t know? I can imagine to put it as a big poster to the wall. Nice one, even if my eyes can´t catch it for a long time:)
Regards,
Stanislav

Stepan (27175) 2007-08-22 9:54

Et bien pourquoi pas ?
C'est plus que de l'abstraction à ce stade, c'est du psychédélisme, mais c'est envoutant. Cela me fait penser à des fractales...
Bien vu.
Stéphane
