Fantastic
I love all the yellow,pink and blue tones that bring a pale spring feeling to this otherwise gloomy photo.

I love the contrast of these bright whites to the other vivid colours

Gosh, if it really was all white (and why wouldn't it be if it was new), this is my idea of Heaven.

I love how the colorist picked out important areas to highlight, thereby pulling in a much more interested and exploratory eye, and at the same time, not overwhelming the overall composition.

You are all so facsinated about it ,,,,but I think it is rather decieving. The tinting of the buidlings is too white, I think in reality it had a yellowish color.
Without everything so in white, the photo would look oridinary,,,,,,
