Hello Bill,

You fooled me!
I thought this was the bottom of a hot air balloon!
You have heard the saying ' Less is more!' here it is epitomised.
I think the invertion was a great idea.
We look more focussedly on it as a abstract image.
Good textural details, strong colours and sharp focus.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Bill,
It was a great idea to turn the photo: it enhances the graphical impact of this roof, as you don't immediately understand what you are looking at.
Colours are superb, an original view!
Cheers,
Marianne

Hello Bill,

Now that's an interesting photo! I like the idea very much, but the execution is great as well. Beautiful light, great colours and such nice contrast with the sky. Great work, I really like it!

Greetings,
Ann

Hello Bill,
frankly speaking, I have kind of mixed feelings concerning the "inverted" view: which would be the "right"? It's just another point of view and opinion! Yes, when we lie down and look upward at the object which is near us.... this is the exact effect - like with trees, for example.

This looks like a very sharp needle. I also very much like the combination of colours: golden-yellow and greyish-blue.
Kind regards,
and have a nice weekend :)

Hello Bill, I thought you were going to tell me that this was a reflection on the Sarawak River, I think you would have gotten away with a little lie like that ;-).
The detail, colour & clarity are excellent, your idea is brilliant, has worked very well, one that I must keep in mind.
Thanks
Take care
Santo

Bill I love this joke of upside-down rotation, in this position this tower seems a flying steam of luftballoon.
The tough compo, the clear colors, and the effective framing are the reasons why I mark it as one of my favs. Regards, Jalab

Miha2ou7 (5162) 2009-04-17 5:10

Hey Bill,

Innovative. We all like that. Quite a way of avoiding distracting elements. I usually just do some cloning. :> Anyways, nice color balance and sharpness. Good though on the frame too.

Best regards.

jhm (211736) 2009-04-17 9:58

Hello Bill,

Very nice picture lovely experiment with the tower.
This is something simple that you turned into something more.
Splendid composition, excellent soft colour image, this gives a nice picture.
Very well done, TFS.

Have a nice weekend,
John

lestans (17258) 2009-04-17 10:41

Hi Bill!
what a joke! I couldn't understand what you posted until I read your note!
I tried to guess looking at tumbnail: is it a balloon? In Borneo baloons are made this way??
:-)
It must be an interesting building, and you made a lovely composition!
TFS, bravo!
compliments
Livia

gunbud (34066) 2009-04-17 18:38

Hi Bill,
The lovely golden dome is wonderfully complimented by the vivid blue sky.
The little bit of gray clouds makes distinct divide between the gold and blue.
Regards, Tom

SteveH (8220) 2009-04-17 22:24

Hi Bill, turing this upside down, I think, makes it much more interesting and one cannot but help wonder what it is. Technically it is good too, with ncie colour, sharpness and exposure throughout. cheers, Steve

rodgerg (55767) 2009-04-18 0:44

Hello Bill,

A very astonishing and very original view, very nice too with an excellent framing very well selectd and a superb yellow color which arise very well in the blue BG. An another original and very good photowork in your gallery.
Best regards,
Roger

PaulVDV (62846) 2009-04-18 3:45

Hello Bill,
Looking at the thumbnail I thought it was a reflection in water. In general I'm not really sure if I like pictures turned upside down very much. But I have to admit that this one is very fine and you're right to post it here.
And I agree that it does look like a flower.
The combination of the yellow-brown and blue and grey tones is also very beautiful.
Best regards, Paul

Bonjour Bill.
Tu as bien fait d'inverser la photo pour en faire une belle fleur jaune sur fond bleu.
Beau graphisme et excellente composition !

danos (110407) 2009-04-18 23:18

Hello Bill,
it's nice your idea to inverse the dome of the building that's really looks like as a fold flower.Excellent the sharpness and the clarity as the great contrast that created from the dome that outline against the blue sky.Well done.

Regards,Danos

albertojr (738) 2009-04-19 3:46

it's flawless. with your 1/1250a i really thought it's a moving hot air baloon. your idea is great. well done.

Didi (61589) 2009-04-19 10:49

Atousa (7131) 2009-04-21 1:26

Salam Bill,

It has been a very nice idea ; it really looks like a golden flower..I might have cropped a bit from the bottom to have its stem in an imaginary soil too..very well seen n captured..thank you for this distinct shot.
Best regards, Atousa

Hello Bill,
How clever to invert the picture doubling the interest of an already excellently clear, detailed, and colorful photo!
Kind regards,

edytungkal (4551) 2009-04-21 23:04

Great idea to present this beautiful building like this, you have good contrast colours between the details. A simple the nice shot Bill, one of your best....thanks

Wandering_Dan (3449) 2009-04-22 11:10

Hi, Bill -

Most unusual and original. In a way, the shape reminds me of a calla lily (I'm doing a series of them in my backyard now), but stylized. Great use of light and minimalist elements, and it was also a good choice to position it off center rather than try for symmetry, which would have been much less interesting.

Best,
Dan

zeca (19762) 2009-04-24 15:49

Very nice work, Bill. The architecture's details are beautiful and you had a nice idea inverting it, since its really abstract. Excellent photo!
Have a nice weekend!
Zeca

siolaw (38294) 2009-04-25 23:28

Hi Bill,
I think you actually was "lying down on the floor and looking backward and upward to see this." instead of simply rotating it at PP (;D

The compo idea is good and well pressented. You did good to have it slightly off centered. Quality, I have to admit, is excellent.
Friendly
Laurent

Bonjour Bill,
une photo qui mérite amplement son succès par la menière originale dont elle est construite, mais aussi avec ses qualités techniques.
Il est vrai que les couleurs de cette lumière solaire sont au comble du fantastique et que les teintes se marient parfaitement.
Bets regards.
Daniel.

jorgi (3810) 2009-04-27 23:50

Hi Bill,

such an exquisite presentation of architectural element. I think you did fantastic work here. The idea of turning it upside down makes it even more appealing as we wonder of its origins. The result does associates of a flower and provides the same amount of beautiness and delicacy. All is composed in one simple yet most wonderful image that impacts with its fragility and elegancy.

Best regards,
jeri

Colombiana (2957) 2009-05-05 18:21

Hola Bill,
What a great idea! Very creative and the result is very artistic. I personally wouldn't have thought of that. Pretty golden "flower" ... I notice your watermark is reversed as well. Did you change your mind last minute, or was this part of the idea ;)

Regards from Miami!

serp2000 (47063) 2009-05-07 5:08

Hi, Bill,
I add my congratulations to you. Great artwork! Excellent composition. TFS!

stego (24132) 2009-05-09 13:58

Hi Bill,
I thought I had critiqued this beauty already. I praise your sense of observation! That beautiful roof really looks like a flower seen from this angle. I notice that you avoided a symmetric compo without sacrificing the harmony, which is one of the qualities of the image.
Regards, José.

jusninasirun (17529) 2009-05-20 23:18

This is clever Bill, right down to the watermark. I was wondering if I was missing something this spectacular while I was in Kuching. You are such a smart guy, Bill. I like this and applaud your very good sense of humor.

My first visit of this new TE facelift and still struggling with some of the buttons.

Looking forward to shooting with you again in the near future. We might have TT session HERE (http://www.flickr.com/photos/wickedfilm/3549656493/)

Jusni

Flavia (10352) 2009-05-28 23:06

Hi Bill,

This is awesome! Great idea! By inverting the picture you added the curiosity fact to catch our attention. The structure itself is already eye catching by its shape and colour, but it was the framing and the inversion that added such a special touch. Congratulations, this is a masterpiece!

Regards,

Flavia

kokoro-zukai (10) 2009-06-10 20:18

Hello Bill,

The shape of the triangular roof gives a strong visual. Very assuming and easy to the eye yet you gave a twist that makes it more eye catching!

Good quality with fine details, I like it a lot!
