Hello Frank, Paul, Bob and David,
thanks a lot for your precious comments! Very helpful hints and opinions
that I appreciate.
This photo was the beginning for more serious tries in wideangle, which
is a very powerful way of taking photographs.
Indeed, shopping seems a kind of religious behaviour to many people...
Other "altars" are found as well, and I do not want e.g. my camera to be
my "god"... Not so easy to realize, as taking pictures and buying lenses
is very addictive...*brooding over*
This mailinglist is very inspiring for my language skills. I really like it!
Much greetings,
Johannes.

Ditto. It's a perfect phrase. :-)
BTW Johannes, that is a beautiful shot, the colour is spectacular.
My only suggestion would be to crop off the lower quarter, just above
the lower most U shaped table. I think that the lower section is a bit
empty and doesn't really add anything to the composition. Maybe take
off a little of the left side to help make it a little more
symmetrical.

I think 'shopping temple' is a great phrase, and I intend to steal it.

I like this. Beautiful color. It appears that you were going
for symmetry and missed by a wee bit. If you rotate the image
a degree or so clockwise and then crop accordingly, you can
probably accomplish near perfect symmetry. Good work.

Hello together,
this is a picture I like quite much - though it's maybe a bit
colourful... It's a new shopping temple in the south of Germany an
the use of the DA16-45 produced a nice effect... Hope you
like it...

After I took that photo I began to use RSE 2005 and so I
got access
to the original file which is not that "flashy" (as we
would say in
Germany)... So I put the link to that (compressed and resized) file
here:

Have a good week,
I like this shot! You're right, the colours are marvelous, and the
composition using the escalators and all the different
levels is quite
good.
It would make a wonderful promotional photo for that shopping mall.
BTW, I know English isn't your first language, so this isn't a
criticism at all, but I laughed when you called it a "shopping
temple". Here in North America at least, going to a
shopping mall has
become (for many) a near-religious experience. Perhaps shopping
temple is a more appropriate name than mall! <LOL>
Again, very good photo.
cheers,
frank
