Lines, angles and curves

Lanes, angles and curves: an unusual view of the City of Arts Sciences.
Well, supposedly this photo was a colorful one, however I didn't like it, so I decided to convert it to black and white.

Thanks for stopping by and comments are always welcome.

Creía que era imposible, pero lo has vuelto a lograr: sorprender con una foto absolutamente original sobre la Ciutat de les Arts.....sólo lo puede lograr una persona con gran talento y que se conoce el espacio al dedillo. ESTE BLANCO Y NEGRO Y LA PERSPECTIVA DARÁN QUE HABLAR....

Perfection Salva! What a refreshing PoV and angle again! The B&W gives even more an abstract/geometric/graphic/futuristic feel to the composition! I really enjoy it!

Soledad Garcia Salas says:

Wow... la alcaldesa de Valencia te tiene que dar una calle, eres el mejor embajador de la ciudad en el mundo. La CAC es chulisima, pero en tus fotos adquiere una categoría de sublime. Lo has vuelto a bordar con esta singular perspectiva...mi más leal admiración.

Totalmente de acuerdo con Soledad, haces de cada foto una postal Valenciana! Felicidades!

It's all about shapes and lines, I can't imagine colour adding anything to this, except a layer of confusion. A good decision and a cracking picture.

Angel Villalba [arbres@ono.com] says:

Genial, el ángulo de la toma es genial repito. Me encanta la composición y el b/n refuerza dicha composición impidiendo la dispersión de la atención sobre otros aspectos. Un magnífico tratamiento. Felicidades Salva has entrado en otros mundos con muy buen pie.

scott masterton says:

As someone who loves color, I would have like to have seen the color version because your shots are always to so full of color and I love them, so putting that aside leaves me to comment on your composition which is as always truly amazing. Pienso que es posible que usted pudiera ser el rey de composición. (I hope I got that right :o)
