Photographer's Note
Here again is the Palau de les Arts, one of Valencia's celebrated tourist spots located at the City of arts and Sciences complex, it is home of all the cultural and all musical stuffs. A continuation from my Valencia-Calatrava Series, I posted here a view during noon time, stitched in 6 photos to get a nice view of the Opera House.
This photo was cropped from it's original semi-panoramic view, kindly click this link to the Workshop.
Tell me what you think, Hope you like it! Calatrava's work is simply amazing!
f/11
10/50"

used filter and subtle adjustments in PP due to harsh lighting conditions. ENjoy!
P.S. Here's my previous post, the Palau during blue hour.

Hi Mathieu
i think i've seen this subject before on te, but who cares! its marvelous, a beautiful subject of architecture.
in your setup, its fantastic how you've included the form and long lines to the left.
also, the 2 people walking along the path give scale perspective! i didn't realize how large this structure was until now!!!
great shot
cheers

Luce molto ben gestita, bei colori e ottimo sharp.
Molto bello il grafismo ottenuto dall'edificio che sovrasta la piscina.
Well done and TFS!

Hi Mathieu
I commented on your blue hour post, and still feel moved by this one too. I cant get over the Warrior's Helmet appearance, and how any one conceived this, and built that flying overhanging 'mohican' is beyond me !
I like this close up crop you have done, even from a six up stitch, but for me, helmet like that it is, I would prefer to see the building to the left, looking into the picture, it feel unbalanced to me as it is.
But its still a great building wherever you choose to put it !

Un bon crop (peut-être un poil serré à droite?) de ce bâtiment à l'architecture spectaculaire. Beau travail de PP pour atténuer la dureté de la lumière.

Salut Mathieu,
Je reconnais ce ciel distinctif que procure le Nikon... Plus indigo que cyan.
Point de vue original sur cette structure désormais célèbre. Il semble qu'il soit intéressant peu importe l'angle sous lequel il est présenté.
Bone utilisation de la perspective créée par la promenade incurvée, lumière favorable, cadrage serré mais qui respire suffisamment.
Amicalement,
André

Hi Mathieu
another astonishing POV and composition. You excel at this type of shot, quite visionary. I love the shapes, colours and the almost alien quality of the way you have captured the amazing building. An impressive and well seen image.

Hi Mathieu
Its a terrific cityscape photo shot with the amazing building so dominating. The rich blue sky is awesome inviting eyes to explore this scene. A very well composed and nicely balanced image combined by strong elements. Impressive foreground subjects provided by blue water and lovely soft shadows. A picture with good dynamism and great depth, the curvy green and railings lead eyes into the far end intersecting at the third with the edge of the building, the central focal of interest. Excellent rich colors and clarity, superb sharpness and texture all works well making this such a splendid image. Your additional pano image is equally delightful. Great photo job my friend, Congrats. Best regards

Howdy Mathieu,
I really enjoy the free form and geometric jigsaw puzzle architecture of the last few decades.
Your vision of Valencia's Palau de les Arts is a wide swept detailing enhancing the architecture.
Well done, cheers,
Ray

Hello Mathieu,everything about this photograph is very enjoyable,your chosen view point allows the sweeping lines to carry us toward that fantastic building which is so interesting.
The inclusion of the people gives an idea of the size of the structure.
A most impressive capture.The WS is also very good.

Hi Mathieu.
Wonderful execution in the composition of this image, great POV that shows the originality and avant-garde lines of the building, I like the perspective of this long floral center left, which gives a great DOF to the image.
Full brightness and color is gorgeous. Well done.
All the best.
Luis.

Bonjour Mathieu,
Vraiment surprenante cette architecture futuriste ! Sur la vignette j'avais l'impression de voir ces casques que portent les skieurs dans les compétitions de saut ! Bon cadrage avec les barrières fleuries au premier plan qui créent une impression de profondeur. Les couleurs et la netteté sont au top.
Amicalement,
Olivier
