Hola Sergio,
esta es una imagen muy clбsica del conjunto de Calatrava en Valencia, que tъ nos ofreces en una buena toma nocturna muy bien realizada.
Me gusta mucho el efecto de los reflejos sobre estas peculiares formas arquitectуnicas, y la sensaciуn de que estбn flotando en el aire.
Excelente trabajo con la exposiciуn y con la calidad de la imagen y de los colores.
Un abrazo,
Josep

Hello Sergio - I like the slick simplicity of this shot. In an image that is is obviously about architecture, light, graphic qualities and composition, the technical management needs to be top class. In this shot you have excelled. Well presented. Warm regards Rosemary

ikeharel (113501) 2012-01-11 5:38

From the series on this place, you chosen to give a grand finale, Sergio.
Absolutely astonishing sight, mirror on water's and very, very clear stuff.
My cong.'s, buenas tardes.

Bonjour Sergio

Absolument magnifique comme photo de nuit et aussi comme endroit. J'aime bien que le noir soit totalement noir autour de la lumiиre qui semble sortir du ventre de ces merveilles architecturales.

Amicalement

Serge

Hi Sergio,

The works of Santiago Calatrava (not one of my favourite architects) are always of great scenic effect, especially if presented in this manner.For a night photo sharpness is incredible and the so dark BG is perfect to bring out buildings' silhouettes.The reflection on the water gives an "alien-like" appearance to the subject of your photo.

Hola Sergio.
Una creativa composicion de gran belleza, los reflejos son tan perfectos que vemos una perfecta imagen doble, en posicion invertida, pero el conjunto es de un resultado impresionante, que con el fondo negro parece que vemos en 3D.
Un trabajo perfecto. Me encanta.
Un abrazo.
Luis.

eversmile (11636) 2012-01-11 8:05

Hi Sergio!

Superb! The strong contrasts and the mysterious shape of the building-oyster make a great combination here. Thanks to the reflections and to your excellent management of light with the tripod; it looks very futuristic, like a spaceship, in an anticipation movie. Fascinating and stylish.
Congratulations
Regards
Marine

Amazing night shot, Sergio. So sharp and graphic. Impressive architecture. Love the way the buildings and reflections come one in pitch darkness. Super.

Cheers,

hi,
it's an image of a perfect reflection, TFS...

mauro61 (53429) 2012-01-11 11:22

ciao Sergio,
lo sfondo nero aumenta l'impatto visivo dell'immagine.
Perfetta la definizione che rende ben chiari i vari aspetti architettonici della struttura,
buona serata

francio64 (39888) 2012-01-11 13:13

Hola Sergio,
questa и tra le piщ belle foto che ho visto di questo luogo su TE.
Il contrasto tra l'edificio ed il suo riflesso illuminati e lo sfondo scuro, sono eccellenti.
Perfetta simmetria e grandi riflessi ottenuti dall'immobilitа dell'acqua che funge da specchio.

Complimenti!

TFS!
Francesco

Charo (51290) 2012-01-11 13:17

Hi Sergio,
wonderful night photography with nice frame work by the mirror reflection of the modern age architecture in the dark water...like the design of the architecture...

Hi Sergio!

Superb reflections! I guess this is on the other side towards river. A great image to tribute the great architecture of Calatrava. Those lines and shapes are really wonderful. And I just realized that the museum combined with the puente del sol looks like a fish from this POV! Wonderful indeed! Great catch! TFS

best regards,
Matt

ChrisJ (171888) 2012-01-12 6:13

Hi Sergio,

Looks like a giant stylized violin! Good nocturnal shot with excellent symmetry & sharpness. Good colour & graphism too. This would look incredible at blue hour & is already very good. Tfs!

siolaw (38294) 2012-01-12 7:13

Hi Sergio
That is another spectacular take of this place! It seems to float in a pitch dark sky, and looks like an "alien" spaceship!
As sharp as it gets too!
Excellent
Laurent

axiotea (21651) 2012-01-12 8:31

Hola Sergio
IMHO, one of the best for that series! actually I wouldn't have mind to see more of it ;)
Great symmetry and visual effect, giving the impression the structures are suspended in the air!

Un saludo
Marilyn

Angelillo (9374) 2012-01-12 10:03

Magnнfica imagen, Sergio...

Las veces que he estado en Valencia no he podido ver estos edificios de noche, y ahora veo lo que me he perdido... El dominio de la luz es perfecto y la composiciуn que has logrado es tremenda, realmente impactante cуmo emerge de la oscuridad esta curiosa forma que casi parece un ser vivo... es impactante, de una belleza difнcil de describir. Se va a mis favoritas! Gracias por esta delicia.

Saludos,
Angel.

jemaflor (147300) 2012-01-13 0:15

Hi Sergio,
Interesting effect with this famus architecture taken in the dark night, light is perfectly captured, two eyes in the night ...

macjake (98486) 2012-01-13 0:20

Hi Sergio
I think this is the first time viewing this popular subject in the Black Hour.My favorite part is the smaller structure on the right. The lighting worked out better in that one, not as bright, and better exposed.
lovely reflections, and a powerful subject.
Great visual!
Cheers

danos (110407) 2012-01-13 0:40

Hello Sergio !

I was not expecting this! : O This must be the most complete and perfect reflective architectural image on TE ! You knew how I would reacts to this. What can I say about an image that is so……. There ! The water surface is so perfect as well as all the details that come with it. It is now 2:30 in the morning, but the image has just woken me up ! Unstoppable, this is how I see your images.

Thank you Sergio!
With my very best regards,
Have a great reflective weekend,
Nobu.

Hola dear Serge

Happy New Year to you! I am just returned from Malaysia so apologise for my delay in critiquing your photo. Superb graphism and exposition. This structure is a work of art day or night, but I have fallen in love with it at night.

Un abrazo
Lisa

zanzi (13690) 2012-01-16 13:24

Bonsoir Sergio
I love it. Perfect reflexion lost in the black. And the light is perfectly managed to let us see inside the buildings.
Bravo

kato (11630) 2012-01-22 13:02

Hello Sergio,

You're capturing this reflection completely by excellent tone/clarity, so it's impressive and beautiful to see this modern architecture with a novel design. And, surrounding night's black draws out this architecture well.

Warm regards,
mikio

iainsp (3298) 2012-03-02 8:05

Hi Sergio,

After looking at a few of your archaeological shots, back to your class, geometric lines and a subset of the colours available. Once again a beautiful, stylish and simple shot that looks absolutely stunning.

Thanks and regards, Iain

Nard (6972) 2012-03-23 8:09

Hi Sergio
Really a splendid night picture of an incredible architecture with a perfect quality. That looks like piece of jewelry, it is creative and well done. I like the miror reflection and the deep black BG.
Regards
Bernard

Robert1969 (7160) 2012-03-27 11:02

Hello Sergio,

Beautiful composition, beautiful symmetry,
with left a beautiful break and that
creates a nice depth in this picture.
The light management is also great.

Friendly regards,

PaulVDV (63024) 2020-09-28 8:31

Hello Sergio,
Today your picture of 2012 is shown again as 'Featured Photo' on the home page of TE.
Wonderful perfect reflections!
Remarkable and unusual designs floating in the black night.
I've also visited the Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias and was surprised by the wonderful different constructions.
It's a real photographers's paradise.
Excellently done!
Best regards, Paul
