Bijna...
Vind je het goed als ik er mee speel, en jou de resultaten stuur? Ik heb je nog in mijn contactenlijst staan, i.v.m. Devmeets.

Van mij mag je er best mee spelen, ik denk alleen niet dat ik daar veel van leer, tenzij ik mee kan kijken.

Hmmm....
In welk grafisch programma bewerk je je foto's?
π: 0 β©: 1
Ik zelf werk met Gimp.
Ik kan wat gaan prutsen met screenshots, in een document met daar naast een PSD file. Dan kun je per laag zien wat ik doe.
Het duurt dan wel een paar dagen

Gimp ken ik ook wel een beetje.

This kind of looks like a ladder that would be fun to climb on if you were tall enough.

You won't believe how I got up there!

gursky is a german photographer but internationaly known. He is, great check him out. Me and a few other students are working on a campagne for an exhibition at the StΓ€del Museum in Frankfurt and his work will be part of it. He does similar things to what you did there.

Amazing coherence between architectonic abstract and street photography.

That's what I was going for! I think I found my niche.

interesting building structure. i'd like to see it all one day.

In that case, you want to go to Rotterdam quickly. When you walk out the train station you'll see a big set of stairs leading up to the building. Admission is free. It's only there for a little while, so hurry!

Hi thomasVanDijk,
IMHO,
It great to add some form of life in otherwise empty building.Β I noticed 2 people here.
It provides for a story to the photo itself. Could be the smoking guy had a bad day at the office. Or just bored and taking some time off.
I think the photo could be further enhance by introducing stronger lights from the top right corner.
I may also try experimenting on the window panels on the right side, highlighting it and letting it fade away as it goes further down.
Some addition depicting shadow and lights could also work well.
Alternatively, you could just convert it to black and white photo and see how much more impact it delivers.
Hopes this helps.Β

Thanks for the feedback! Regarding the light, I couldn't really get to this place at a good time. And even then, I can't be as lucky to get the guy in that spot to stand there again. I feel converting it to black and white might not be as good as I really like how those red bars stick out so much.

Then what about just leaving the reds line while the rest is b/w.
The guy shirt could also be tinted red.
Then you could add highlights from the top?
It's just my own opinion though.Β

But that's just a cliche photo edit thing.

Lol. Yeah maybe you're right.

Hey there! Thank you for submitting toΒ Β for feedback!
I love this pattern and perspective lines here! Really cool compositionΒ Β
I personally would remove a man. In my mind he is a bit too centred and the whole attention goes to him and creates kind of stalking photo 
The other thing you might like to play here is lights and shadows on the building, create a bit more contrast and 'clear' image.
But i should say i like it already a lot. You found a cool point of view and created an interesting vision of itΒ Β
Would love to see more of your photographs
I hope this helps, and if you have questions, please ask!

Thanks for the feedback! I did center the man on purpose. If I jus took a shot of the buildinging without the man, it would be a completely different feeling.
I would have liked to have taken a shot with better lighting, but the top of the building isn't open to me at sunrise or sunset.

i understand! And even with such a light it's still very nice shot

Great capture. Literally.
Makes me feel slightly voyeurish, I want to check all the windows to see what else is happpening. The height makes me feel like I have a vague sense of power or something over the person slightly below, they are not aware that the viewer is there. A bit unnerving to be honest. I tip my hat to you sirΒ Β

I love that you see so many things in this one picture.

Wow the photo is awesome! This shape... this building is really strange!Β
π: 0 β©: 1
Amazing photo!
Also, this building looks so unnerving to me! Lol
π: 0 β©: 1
Mm, no. Perhaps its the shape? I've Β never seen any buildings like that before haha
Also, it is strange to me that its white. I think pretty much every large building where I live is dark in color.an interesting choice!Β

It's mostly gray from the concrete. The only white is on the window frame.

Ahh, dit voelt heel erg Escher. Making my head spin.
Mooie foto!

Het gaat om de onderbreking in een zich herhalend patroon.

Ik heb geen herhalend patroon meer XD bij mij is het momenteel elke dag niks doen
π: 0 β©: 1
Dat is ook een herhalend patroon!

Nee want elke dag is anders! Want vandaag ging ik mijn kamer opruimen en dat doe ik nooit!
