Hello Matt,
nice example of modern architecture.I think Spaniards excel in that.If you compare it to the architecture in Barcelona or Bilbao.I like the symmetry of this image as well as excellent chosen POV.
Have a nice weekend

Hi Matt
this may be one of my all time favorite subjects posted on TE. yes, its been photographed alot, but its worthy of every single shot.
looking at this structure, i can't help but think it looks like a bettle or some insect.
love the compo of lines and curves!
great shot

looking forward to seeing your BlackCard Technique. Did you know that using the blackcard technique will disqualify you from any photo contest! strange! for some reason its viewed as cheating...but yet photoshoping - which we ALL do - is deemed ok! its a strange strange world!
Cheers
Craig

Hello,

It is not the first time I see pictures from this place and more and more I think it is a place I would like to try to visit. For architectur shot, it is a kind of dreamland.
I like here the way you use the bridge to structure the composition.

Hi Matt,

When I go to Spain, not a question of if but when, this fantastic architecture is definitely one of my destination of places to visit. Top of the list, other than the other classics.

I like your POV here, different than most that I have seen, some might think the bridge in the middle obstruct the view of the eye, but since we have seen enough of the eye from many diffent shot, it doesn't bother me and in fact the bridges adds depth here. The light seem strong but you managed well, even in the shadows there are still visible details and texture of the tile patterns. Once again, excellent work.

Way
