Hello Valter,
This is a marvellous structure with a great graphic strength. I love this kind of sculpture or installation or whatever they should be called. It looks like a crossing between a huge birds' nest and the scaffolding at the construction of an Indian skyscraper.
An amazing view and a very interesting photo. I like the WS very much too. It's a more informative photo, but this one has a higher artistic value.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hi Valter,
looks intresting,intriguing and quite crazy:)They had really amazing idea for such a structure(reminds me a little bit Hong Kongｴs scaffoldings).
Really enjoy your POV and framing with people relaxing on it-conveys well leisure atmosphere of the scene.And Iｴm glad to see in in B&W,which accentuates much better uniqueness of this structure and bambooｴs poles.

Have a nice evening
Krzysztof

Ciao Valter
molti anni fa si usavano le canne di bamboo per andare a pescare, cos� riesci a continuare la sequenza di foto.
Una foto molto particolare e la situazione � sicuramente pi� adatta al b&w che al colore e ne hai giustamente approfittato. Gli intrecci delle canne e delle corde, creano tante belle prospettive da seguire con lo sguardo fino al cambiamento di direzione.
Un bel colpo d'occhio, oserei dire, fin troppo raffinato.
Saluti
Carlo

Hi Valter
Initially this looks so busy seems that every inch is not wasted full of content to yield but on closer look those artists help the eyes to settle in. A bit of mind blowing creatively 'crafted' stuff in the name of artwork so to speak with dynamic feel on which i think is a great way to tickle our old brain at the same time. This is very effectively treated in mono with stunning effect perfectly works in this context - this wont be the same in color for sure. Your effort in climbing in the mass of bamboos is much appreciated showing us a total new perspective never seen before. My congrats for a job well done, TFS.
Best regards

Caro Valter

Un gran bel POV qui e la tua foto � piena di strutture e geometrie. Hai scelto bene il bianconero, esaltando le strutture e grafismo. Ottima la prospettiva e taglio stretto.

Un abbraccio
Lisa

An intriguing photo, Valter, explained well with the WS's.
Excelent clear view onto the labyrinth of the bamboo art-work.
Salute,
