Shining in the shade..., a photo from Ile-de-France, North

Photographer's Note

La Defense is the business area of Paris... It is also the only high rise towers of the capital, as a law, enacted after the construction of the Montparnasse tower(209 m/686 ft) bans the construction of towers higher than seven floors inside Paris itself...

La D嶨ense, le quartier des affaires... et, aussi, les seules tours de la ville, une loi emp璚hant la construction d'immeubles de plus de sept 彋ages dans Paris intra-muros ayant 彋� vot嶪 apr鋊 la construction de la tour Montparnasse (209 m).

Bonjour Laurent,

An abstract and futuristic quality pervades this shot � of glass and steel, of geometric shapes and patterns. The note represents a good accompaniment to the photograph.

Amicalement!

Hi Laurent,
A nice slick modern shot with great reflections and almost monochromatic tones. Good angle of view too.

Hi laurent,
Great capture of the building in nice shapes.The reflections in the glasses are really eye catching.It's good that the top-left corner of the round shape building didn't get overexposed completely instead of bright sunlight.
Regards,
Ambar

Salut laurent

A futuristic view of Paris, with superb reflections in the glass walled mirrors of the downtown highrise buildings. Superb sharpness, & an attractive blue monochromatic colour. C'est tres bon. Amicalement.

Ciao Laurent! da una parte all'altra del mondo! Quando sei in Francia fai foto geometriche, squadrate, pulitissime! Sar� per reazione al mondo dell'Asia!
Foto belle comunque sempre. Questo posto era piaviuto molto anche a me , anche se sembra la scenografia di un film di fantascienza

Ciao!!

maltese (22909) 2007-11-14 8:33

Salut laurent
Ce n'est pas tr鋊 asiatique, ces b漮iments ;o)) Des bleus tr鋊 profond sur ces fa蓷des qui permettent de bons jeux de reflexions.
Une tr鋊 belle r嶧lisation!!

A clever seen image Laurent, the glass frames give a very effective reflections with this excellent light balance.
The side illumination works very good.
Have a nice day.

I will be back...

chrisnet (23062) 2007-11-14 9:45

Salut laurent,
Ces grands immeubles en verre m'嶨fraient, mais je dois dire que ta photo offre un beau graphisme avec des reflets sympas.
Bonne r嶧lisation.

Ouh la, 蓷 nous change !!!
C'est pas mal cette r嶨lexion immense. C'est un peu comme si le "syst鋗e" 彋ait invisible parce que simple reflet de toi, de moi... Une illustration 彋onnante et troublante du monde du biz... Sans prise mais omnipr廥ent...

Fascinating to watch. The sharpness and detail on the building is excellent. Well done.
Best wishes,

gary91 (15348) 2007-11-15 8:03

Bonsoir Laurent,
Un graphisme tr鋊廧ur� et une composition millim彋r嶪 (j'appr嶰ie le haut du batiment ajust� avec le coin sup廨ieur) nous donnent une image tr鋊 agr嶧ble. De plus, les teintes bleut嶪s et les reflets en filigrannes donnent vraiment une impression de calme paisible.
Belle r嶧lisation !
Bonne soir嶪 � toi.
Amicalement, Christian

patdeph (35750) 2007-11-15 8:55

bonsoir Laurent

C'est assez rare les photos de ce genre venant de ta part. N'est ce pas Laurent ?

Good morning Laurent
I'm sure this is not just another point & shoot reflection shot..you've composed it to perfection, when we see the reflections of the towers neatly framed by the vertical lines of the building in the BG. Well done!
