Photographer's Note
These are two more pictures of the Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles. The first one, I uploaded yesterday. The exterior of the Concert Hall is cladded in a flower-like wrapper of Italian limestone and stainless steel. The building's orientation , combined with the curving and folding exterior stone, presented highly sculptural compositions as viewers move along Grand Avenue and through the surrounding gardens and plazas. An extensive backstage technical area surrounds the Hall and opens onto a private garden for musicians. The backstage door opens off of a semi-public garden and the largest rehearsal room is placed near this entry to be used for small scale public performances. The openness of the backstage area is intended to encourage interaction between artists and the public.

Hi Andre,
Nice architecture, sharpness and contrast.
I do not like the black line in the middle: I would prefer a single image.

I have to agree with Didier about the line, each one of the shots could work nicely by itself. Maybe you could present both of them together but separating more in the middle, using a thicker line. I'll try a workshop but can't post it today. If it's ok I can send it to you by e-mail..
In the 3 pictures I think you have captured very well the softness of texture and lines of this building. Love how the metal and the sky share that softness.
regards,
anton

When I saw the thumbnail of this picture I thought that it has to be Frank Gehry. Beautiful building and beautiful picture. This must take an hour to make all kinds of pictures from every side of this building.

Very good choice in assembling these two images. Not only it is well done and it also shows the coherence of the buildings architecture. Instead of an image assembly this could be the building it self and it still would look great. Excellent choice for BW which enhances the shapes and volumes. Very interesting note. I believe this architect was to be contracted by the Lisbon city to build a new casino but things are a bit slow due to the anticipated elections for the government band some political instability.
