Photographer's Note
Detail of roof of the famous Casa Batlló designed by Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí. Casa Batlló (designed for a rich company) together with still under construction Sagrada Familia cathedral is one of his masterpieces.
Gaudí loved shapes, curves and was very much inspired by shapes of nature (trees, leaves, etc.) and sea (in case of Casa Batlló).
I went for not very big DOF in order to show this roof detail in 3D perspective and used polarizing filter to create dark blue sky and more saturated colours.

Hi, Ondrej,
Beautifully composed image! love an abstract aspect of it, You`ve create an interesting eye lead and a sense of perspective with the top of the roof detail. Excellent colors, shapes and textures.
Very fine interpretation of Gaudí`s masterpiece!
Regards.

Ahoj Ondrej,
Antonio Gaudi is one of my favourite architects or artists at all. His unusal geometry mixed with strange, weird colors is looking like from fairytale world. Of course Sagarada Familia is a masterpiece. I like here Your choice of perspective to show a geometry of this fragment with some mosaic. Maybe the colors would be a little bit more vivid but this is IMO of course, You saw that I like strong contrasts :)
regards,
maki

Hi Ondrej,
Now does it mean that you climbed up somewhere again? :))
Or is it zooming that you achieved? Sharpness is great towards the center but it is lacking at the bottom right corner. The colors could be brighter but now they seem more real. The abstract shape combined your compo makes a great post. However I think that you could find a better POV. I don't mean you should have captured the whole building (as i am more concerned in details) but i happen to feel so. Because I have already seen your Seville photo and request much better from you.
Cheers,
Deniz
