A nice take of the avant garde architecture. The black & White enhances the effect of the sharp ancles and the parabolic curves that ar so typical and distinctive of the Museum.
The photograph being take with light from the front and the right side, keeps the tall structure on the ectreme left on the shade, thereby enhancing the effect of the overhanging ceiling.
Good choice of the medium of B&W.
Thanks for sharing.

Tremenda, nen! El edificio del fondo es nuevo...más madera! Supongo que te decidiste por el B&N porque el día estaría chungo, me gusta mucho.
Bon cap de setmana!

Hola Carlos!
I saw the color version in facebook!
I like both of them, but maybe a bit more the colorful one!
Highlights are the vertical format, chosen pov and composition! Difficult light was pretty well managed by you!
TFS - congrats,
Saludos,

Hello Carlos

I thought I should introduce myself since we will meet in May! I had not noticed your gallery on TE before now... apologies for that. I see though that you are attracted by strong shapes and geometry as well as abstracts. I like this image for those very reasons and I would like to visit this place myself. How far is Bilbao from Barcelona?

Best wishes

Mike
