Description


I'm running late today and will catch up on comments asap. Hope everyone had an excellent weekend.

This image was taken recently in the Queen Street Mall - there is a sunflare which I didn't remove, what do you think?? Does it detract from the image design?

Donna, you really have a GREAT eye for these architectural images. Looks like you'll have another WINNER with this image. AWESOME image!! #2826443

Ray Clarke May 29, 2006

Lovely photo Donna, no I don';t think the sun flare distracts, what I find a little distracting though not much is the little golden square shape in the bottom green section. (ac) #2826450

Leanne M.E. Boyd May 29, 2006

I like the pov, colour and graphics. Excellent shot, Donna! #2826496

Jill Odice level-classic May 29, 2006

OK DDU, this is officially my favorite of this series, maybe of all your images I have seen so far! I love the flowing curves, the reflections, and the blue and white! Stunning and should be a winner!!! #2826535

William Johnson May 29, 2006

Great POV and detail Donna. I like the curves of a slide on its side. Bill J. #2826547

Inge S. Lasmana May 29, 2006

Excellent perspective and composition, Donna! yes, I love the color blue as well. #2827211

Karen Engelbreth May 29, 2006

Supershot, Donna - wonderful composition.
I agree with Audrey about the little golden square shape in the bottom green section :0)) #2827229

Melissa G. Meiselman May 29, 2006

Terrific capture with great design elements, Donna. I do agree about cloning out that tiny spot on bottom. I know you will take care next time.

I took a BP course...he praised everything, but at the end would mention these tiny things. I never forgot after that to closely examine any image for posting. #2827491

Bobbie Davis May 29, 2006

Perfect! #2827590

Nadya Johnson May 29, 2006

Well Donna, this one has my vote for Favorite in the Series!! Awesome photo! Having stared at it now for awhile... I think the little golden square is part of the architectural design (?) but I do find it just a bit distracting so would probably clone it out. Some might say if it was there, leave it in; but I say, for composition's sake sometimes you have to tweak reality a bit. As for the rest -- sheer perfection!! Yes, I think you have a winner here! Terrific shot! #2828153

Shelly A. Van Camp level-classic May 29, 2006

This is Beautiful! Now, pongy you took my chances of winning again! lol Great capture and colors! Stay well over that Pond!!!!! It is 90 here!!!! #2828863

John Connolly May 29, 2006

Outstanding image, Donna! That spot is a tad distracting, but seems to get lost in the overall capture.
I think your neck is going to start giving you problems soon, with all these 'Looking Up' images! LOL!! #2829283

Darryl Wilkinson May 29, 2006

ddu, The colors and angle are superb, as are all of your unique captures! Winner in my opinion :) #2830075

Donna Roberts May 29, 2006

Thanks everyone for your honest feedback - as suggested, I will consider taking out the downlight if I ever resubmit this image again.
:-)

Mary K. Robison May 29, 2006

I like this curving composition best of all your "Underneath" series, Donna. The light and shadows are especially nice in this.
The judges might take issue with the "golden spot" and sunflare, but clearly your fellow bp'ers (including me) feel that this is a beautiful capture, as is. #2830111

Donna Roberts May 30, 2006

Thanks Mary - much appreciated.
:-)

Jim Kinnunen level-classic May 30, 2006

Wonderful composition and curves, Donna!:) #2832064

Pat Gamwell May 30, 2006

I'll jump on the "unanimous praise wagon" & say this is my favorite, also! I also agree regarding the sunflare & spotlight at the bottom...if they're cloned out there is nothing but PERFECTION left! #2832178

Goshka G. May 30, 2006

Love how this image unfolds before our eyes, Donna!! #2832349

Terry L. Ellis level-classic May 30, 2006

Intriguing composition, Donna! One of your finest! Beautiful! #2832370

Paula Dwyer May 30, 2006

Kirsten Kiki Kjaer May 31, 2006

Fantastic composition and curves. Great colors too. Great image. #2836789

Kate Jackson May 31, 2006

It's funny because I was going to say how much I liked the little golden rectangle in the bottom! But I suppose after reading the comments, although the little thing is nice in itself, possibly in the whole scheme of things it would be better not there. And I like the sun spot! Love the whole thing in fact! #2837372

Cathy Stancil May 31, 2006

WOW !! This is my new favorite of yours my friend !! I am trying to catch up on comments and am loving your new serie... but this is awesome Donna ! Beautiful work ! #2838746

Carolyn J. Connolly June 01, 2006

I REALLY love this image, Donna - it has WONDERFUL lines AND patterns!! GREAT colours, lighting, perspective, AND composition, too!! :o)

I think once you've taken out the couple of aforementioned 'things' you should re-post this image!! I think it's definitely got EXCELLENT competition prospects!! :o) #2842897

Donna Roberts June 02, 2006

Thank you so much Ronda, Amy and Carolyn - I really appreciate the wonderful comments you've left for this image.

I haven't been by for a while, Donna...please excuse my absence, although it is my loss, not yours! I completely missed the 'Underneath it All' series, but I think thiks is a very stylish example from your themed set.
I see no problem with the flare, though like Audrey and Nadya, I would lose the light fitting at the lower frame margin...
Great series! #2843978

Carolyn Foster Spano June 02, 2006

Another wonderful image. #2843982
