Photographer's Note

The view of Singapore from Helix bridge in the Marina Sands Bay area, is really fascinating. The lotus-shaped building housing the ArtScience Museum is only one of the many futuristic buildings in this area.

Hello Erling
The lotus flower seems to be an excellent source of inspiration for this first artscience museum.
This flower beautifully symbolizes the symbiosis of art and science.
A masterpiece from the Architects Department and an excellent picture of you.
Well done
Have a good weekend, groet Rob

Hello Erling,
The building in the lotus shape largely determines the beautiful skyline of this part of Singapore.
I like the pretty colours of the sky and the water on this blue hour shot and also the many lights in the dark tall buildings.
Best regards, Paul

Hello Erling,

The lotus shaped museum really is the star of the show!
Its smooth-sided, petal shapes, glowing with a violet tinge, look spectacular against the darker buildings and sky. They cast shimmering reflections across the water, emphasising their presence.
I love how the whole f/g curve has been edged with artificial lights, helping to unite the whole lighting spectacular.
There is a little bit of noise but who cares when the whole scene is such a delight!

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hello, Erling!

Impressive architecture of the museum that even looks like a giant flower with its petals opened! You captured the city lights very well, with wonderful colors of the blue hour, and the reflections on the water are a very nice detail! Wonderful composition! Well done!

Hej Erling,
Singapore har дndrats helt otroligt sedan jag var dдr ett par gеnger pе 1970-talet. Troligen fanns inget av det vi ser hдr pе den tiden. Den lotusformade byggnaden drar ju blickarna till sig, och du har fеngat ett mycket vackert ljus, som ocksе avspeglas vдldigt fint i vattnet. Men hela stadsbilden i bakgrunden дr ganska fantastisk. Bildens stora fцrtjдnst, utцver sjдlva kompositionen, дr den perfekta exponeringen, som ger rдttvisa еt varje liten detalj.
Hдlsningar,
Gert

Hello Erling, a fabulous piece of architecture, my eyes keep returning to it as I enjoy this blue hour scene.
The lights reflected across the water are lovely, and some even have a hint of colour.
Superb composition and sharpness.
Regards Jean.

Hej Erling,
Et udmжrket billede af storbyen med de mange hшje bygninger og deres utallige lys, der stеr frem sе smukt fra det mшrkeblе himmel. Lotusbygningen er et fantastisk kunstvжrk og de hvide blade er vidunderlige og blev spejlet sе godt i vandet.

Lovely light and colours and the reflections add interest.

Hi Erling,
Great blue hour photo of Singapore ! I like trhe contrast between the darker, usual skyscrapers on the right and the bright, very modern one on the left.
Very elegant composition.
All the best.
