Colourful architecture

Cem,

Your composition is well balanced. I like the inclusion of the black drain pipe in the lower left. I good photograph worth keeping! Also it happens to have excellent freedom from distortion of the architectural lines. Only the yellow appears to be a primary color. The set works so well together, but the yellow seems stronger.

This is immediately attention getting. Is it for apartments or what? If it's an hotel, then it makes sense as such colors attract attention but one does not have to come home to them every single say once they have worn their welcome. For a hotel, one certainly will notice the place and cabs will have no problem in finding us!

I'm always fascinate by the fate of such boldly unsubtle colors in modern architecture. In posh places, the rents are very high. In poorer areas, very quickly it's grime-covered, (how the dirt knows where to settle is a puzzle), but the fate of the same looking buildings are very different in the two locations.

This is a great angle and nicely corrected too. Those primary colours are in harmony and make our eye travel around the scene, engage with them and all what they have to yield.
If it were to be in B&W, the texture, lines and shape wouldn't have engaged as much as this colour version.
I like the clothes line making an appearance in the scene, a human element and all that. Nice one...

Thanks Nicolas, Asher and Paul.

Asher this is the student housing district of the Free University of Amsterdam. So anything but posh. ;)

I like the way you built that pictures with very strict lines and shapes. Did you correct the perspective in post?

Hi Jerome,

This was taken with a 105mm equivalent (on a 35mm sensor) lens. So there wasn't much to correct. I've done a minor adjustment in Lightroom.
