Systematic Patterns Photo

Photographer’s Note

Took this picture since last year. Never thought of uploading it to TE. Now it is. This is an hotel in West Texas. As I walked passed this place, I noticed this systematic patterns which do look like a game. This is how nature evolved itself to a unique pattern that we seem to miss out. One may wonder why such a thing could happened so.

Hello Sothy,

I like the pattern created by the windows and the dark colours of the walls. The graphism created by the windows is very attractive but I wonder if the picture could be straightened a bit. Thanks Sothy.

Great geometrical shot. I like the deep blue on the window and the "different" windows colors (don't know what this by the way) here and there.

Hello Sothy

Excellent composition. It pleases the offered symmetry to me, in a resistance of shades and textures, with a great handling of the balance. Congratulations

Hey Sothy,

I can't believe you waited so long to post this to TE. This to me is a "Sothyesque" shot. You always find the patterns even is a dull old building. The fact that the windows are knocked out make it work so well.

Have fun here in town this weekend.

Ciao Sothy,
as always the photo is technically perfect, even if, looking at this building probably built in the years '30 or '40, make a reflection: also in Italy there has been this style, geometric, rational and few fanciful and it is often found next to monuments built 2000 years ago, whose architectural beauty still fascinates us. Progress? I don't know. Surely we will have to still learn from the ancient Romans or from the Egyptians that the modern doesn't have to go to loss of the beauty.
Ciao
Paolo.

Hi Sothy,
It's truly a very interesting photo, with a great visual impact. It's only pity that the lower right window is cropped and the perspective makes the lower horizontal lines appear slightly tilted, but that's nothing too worrying.
Regards, José.

Hello Sothy,
Like this shot. Simple but eye catching. Like the patterns created by the dark windows.
Congratulations.

Hello Sothy

The world of photography is a strange one, but when it all comes down it is the photos that are unusual and creative that catch the eye.
I find this photo very interesting, not only because it has a simple yet advanced pattern behind it that really seem to be taken right out of an intelligence test, but also because it uses something that we as humans like to see: contrasts.
The only thing I find slightly off is how tilted the view looks, but what can we do about that? Let people grow another 12 feet?
Maybe also a bit dull with the flat grey to the tructure but it has minute importance

I must say I really like this photo, great spotting and thank you for sharing.
