culture clash, i guess. and very fascinating, indeed- at least to me.
still, cultural differences and social changes are the only plausible excuses i managed to come up with to momentarily absorb my perplexity while i was in hk. i saw a documentary on shanghai a few days ago showing how fast the skyline is changing and whole areas of old buildings are swept away to leave room to the most evident and unstoppable progress.
it left me with a lot to think about...
message delivered in the most effective and provocative way. well done.

This building can be a little Narcissus too - I really like that you were able to incorporate both the building and its reflexion. This photo is stronger and also supports your thoughts about it very well.

I have never lookt at buildings this way, but when i see this i think they can be very inspiring. The reflection of the big grey building in the little yellow colourd building is very nice captured! The blue sky is really nice and matches the colours of the buildings! Again a wonderfull frame, nice work! Maybe a little crop on the left to get the last clouds off? Or did you leave it there on purpuse?
Greets, Lex

Hi hugo, This is almost the same perspective as the last photo and again gives the viewer the awesome feeling of height!
Along with the visual interest, I like how You have composed this photo and filled the frame nicely!
Hong Kong must be a fasinating city to visit.I'm sure You have a wonderful collection of great photos!This one is teriffic!
Take care Friend......................John

This is a nice photo. I like the contrast between the new modern bigger building in the foreground and the older, equally impressive, but out dated building in the background. Your perspective even accentuates this contrast by creating the effect that the newer building is taller and bigger.
The comments in the about reinforce this impression I got from seeing the photo. Good job, very nice,
Rgds,
Luis

Excellent commentary Hugo and quite thought provoking... I like the strong geometric shapes here and also the way in which the image has been tilted to provide a feeling of vertigo. The textures of the building are well rendered as are all the reflections of the blue building itself and its neighbours... Masterful composition!

Hugo,so nice to get back to UF and see what you've been up to. Great angle/perspective this is shot at-no perpendicular lines,I think I would have been too rigid and had vertical and/or horizontal intact thus lacking dynamics found here. The reflection of the obtuse building on the conventional structure conveys an excellent dual.

HI Hugo,
Nice perspective, both photo and comment 'about'!
I like that the lowest building just happens to be the lighter one. Color really adds to the overall competition.
Your camera angle and tilt makes for a VERY BOLD statement.
Well done, once again

Magnifique perspective et beau dégradé de bleu.
This large mass that I view of on my screen seems me all the same to
be with the top of my head. It is so much more beautiful and more
extremely and larger than me than I want almost to lower the eyes.

Your about yanked my bookmark right out of my frontal lobe and left me standing outside the pages of the photographic dialogue I'd been having and into the power struggles you elude to. I sat dumbstruck trying to decide whether to tell you how beautiful I thought the building was or to get out my steel-toed boots and kick the wretched thing over...lol. This is a fabulous perspective - 7+ on the dizzying effect you've had both pictorially and verbally. When I see buildings like this, there is another dialogue that I glom onto, and it has to do with all the years I spent working in them. Too many. Antonia.

You get a true sense of "building-envy" from this shot....the classic "mine's bigger than yours" scenario. But so long as we can take shots a clear and inventive as this one...keep buildin' them!
I would be tempted to rotate the image and see what happens.What made you decide to keep the wispy bits of white cloud in the shot?
Cheers

Hi hugo!
Thank you, i totally forgot zaandam... Its a great place indeed. And about the creative part.. your wright, but although i studied the best abstracts on this site and i also see a lot of fantastic stairways and mondriaan's in a ship and other beautifull sites..
But you just need to be lucky to find such a place...
I like more to make a different style of photographs the for example windmills or famous dutch houses because there are millions of those.. But also nice to do :)
Thanks again!
and best wishes abel

Hi Abel, thanks for your comments. HK was a British colony untill 1998, I believe. Western influences are only getting smaller, I'm told...:) But it sure is a strange city, and that's what makes it so intriguing.

Hallo Hugo
Wat een great and beautiful composititie
Geweldig deze licht inval tuseen wolkenkrabbers
Mooie reflectie
De lucht is helder blauw , wat ook al zoals ik uit ervaring weet een prestatie is
Bedankt voor je reacties en commentaren op mijn brazilie foto,s
De strekdammtjes op de laatste foto, zijn inderdaad bedoeld om golfafslag tegen te gaan.

Hi Antonio, I'm not sure what you are referring to... I guess they didn't clean them propperly (quite hard to reach...:), I didn't do anything to the buildings; only tweaked the tone of the sky a bit.

striking colors, great lines, and very fitting about. the right giant looks a bit like a painting: awesome effect.
