About City "portraits" tend to get cluttered (as is this one), but I find this puzzle of buildings strangely fascinating.

Sort of cluttered, but neat at the same time - the lines are all clean and orderly so it doesn't feel jumbled. Interesting how 'flat' everything looks - almost no sense of depth as though all the buildings are occupying the same plane! I also like how the buildings seem to become more and more modern the further away they are!

Thanks Dirck! It may be that the lens contributes a little to the flat feel (85 mm short tele). Here is an alternative view with a 28 mm instead.

A little more 3D feel

Well - when i go downtown in Uppsala it doesn?t look like this, thats for sure. I think i would love to walk around there some day?s and find my abstracts and geometry!!! :) Very nice shot Stefan!

It would be fertile ground for you, maybe in a darker style - there is lots of brick as you can see...

It may be cluttered, but there's a lot of clean lines and definitive colours here to prevent one from getting overwhelmed by it. (I kind of like the "palette" - the browns and blues are quite complimentary). This doesn't have the depth of "Christchurch", but I still think it works.

To me, there are two components to this photo: horizontal (bottom half), and vertical (top half). They work well together, although I wonder what this shot would look like had it been taken vertically (I feel there could have been a bit more room at the top). Alternately, I wonder what this would look like with the vertical lines cropped out completely (probably more clausterphobic, which isn't a good thing . . . but still, I wonder about stuff like that). :)

After looking at this photo for awhile, I have determined that the stairwell in the bottom right corner is my favourite part of the shot.
