One of my favourites this week. Good composition and the colors are perfect. So is focus and the cropping. The colorless house is just perfect. Meets the challenge very well. Well done and good luck!

I like the contrast between the grey foreground and the rich colored background. It looks like this two elements are fighting each other for the viewers attention. The reflection is so clear it almost seems unreal. A tiny bit more sharpness would serve this image well imho. You did a fine job on the composition. Regards, Marco.

My, yes, that certainly does qualify as complementary in terms of colour, but that is not a building I would want to look at regularly. It is, however, a good photo of it. The framing, I think, is somewhat distracting from the topical colours, as it's very bright, but artistically it's a nice touch.

I've been hitting skip on this one all the way through voting, mainly because that meant it kept popping up and I got to see it lots of times, but also so I could gather my thoughts on it.
This shot defines contrast. The contrast between old and new buildings, between the dull wood and the bright refection, and of course between the orange and blue. While I'm a big fan of sharp modern images, I also very much like shots of old buildings and old wood. You give me both : )
The composition is very strong, it's framed to perfection and even the pieces of wood protuding over the window are a feature rather than a distraction.
Great shot, good luck!

Very interesting photo. I always love photos that use some sort of internal framing of a sbject. Nice colors, too. -T

Like this image; it has a lot of atmosphere. Two different worlds or eras are represented here in this small image and that makes for a lot of impact. The dull greys of this building are a nice foil for the intense blues and oranges of the reflections. Great how well the reflections have been handled. 8
