Shiny facade *
by Franky2005

Düsseldorf, Germany

The facade is part of a complex of buildings which were designed by Frank O. Gehry for the old Düsseldorf harbour area. The buildings are very fascinating as there is almost nothing that you would expect from a "normal" building.

The facade is fully covered by glossy metal. Thus this theme varies a lot depending on the light conditions. :-)

As you said, it is a fascinating building. I like your framing and your choice of placing the section with no window in the center of the picture. The building is so distorted that I am not sure if it is your wide angle or the building: very interesting indeed. The monochrome treatment is the perfect match with the shiny facade.

I would like to see this picture taken with a fisheye lens and the blue sky reflecting on the metal. (or the sunset).
