I've always loved the effect and texture of concrete...
I had been in the Utrecht University Library, and that black concrete is amazing...
I love the texture of the wood in the concrete and you captured it very well...

The contrast and the lines one's eyes follow in this image create a very interesting perspective. Taking the shot at an angle to the building was a wonderful idea. Great work!

Wow, it's so perfect, but the architecture is imperfect [given that you consider constant reptition to be perfect].
Very nice shot, I'm sure it would look great in both colour & monochrome.

Unbelievably perfect composition! This picture just feels complete... yet incomplete, like there's some story behind it. Kinda puts me in the 'fantasy-world-mood'.

The textures are so wonderful - makes me wanna slide my hand along the concrete.
Great photo - simple yet complex and most of all - pleasing to the eye and heart.

Very nice as for the amount of abstraction

This particular piece sticks with me. I've always been a fan of your work, though I've never really said anything. I appologize for that.
I love the toning, the composition, everything. My eye moves around the piece smoothly, and I feel as if I'm part of some weird, futuristic dream, yet its more of a memory of days past.

Perfect abstract work....the use of lines and shadows is great. A simple and strong composition, I just love that.

Strong perspective, interesting repetition of lines, diagonal line tha goes upwards, ... Is there anything else to say?
I love your compositions With each new photo u submit is a new lesson for me THANKS

interesting gradient effect. i like how the second line down from the top on the right side breaks uniformity.

it looks like a rib cage!
fantastic photo. it seems to have equal parts light and dark, and fades them into each othefrom top to bottom. it's grrrreat. +fav.

No doubt, it's great photo, but the architectural object itself is somewhat cold/oppressive for me.

Maestro Patrick, the master of b&w.
I'd almost say brilliant teamwork between you and the architect, but that would diminish your photo.
Great stuff.
i love the way the concentric circles are interrupted by the one that goes so elegantly off to the right.
Zurich car parks: don't I just have the fondest memories. There was one where I never ever found the exit and always had to wait until someone left and I could follow.
Now this memory has been redeemed

Damn, that's nice. (It's matured like a fine wine, etc.)
Must confess that I was initially more attracted to the 'crossed lines' Zurich shot, but this one booted it neatly in the groin before proceeding to kick it repeatedly in the side of the head for considerably longer that was necessary, according to the on-lookers.

love the lines, concrete is a odd building material, we always seem to make it feel like a bunker...

Excellent shadow play, good contrasts of tones, I like the bit of overexposure of the lighting at the top, nice lines and movment, too. Very good textures in the full view, well done...bravo.

This is a damn great architecture ! Hey it is.. hey I'm right, tell me I'm right !
Wicked angle. B&W perfectly fits.
Great great job.

You know when the doctor asks you to say 'aahhh' and you open your mouth and he puts that thing that to all intents and purposes tastes and looks like an emery board in? Yeah, well that is what this shot reminds me of..in concrete.
