Great image of the buildings. I think I just got drive by images of a few of the building. You have them all. Great composition. Posted: 04/15/2024 11:15:17
An image of exiting shapes! and your accurate exposure provides lots of rich colour for impact. The central building just off centre looks very similar to the Oculus building in Manhattan! Did you venture inside Michael? Posted: 04/19/2024 05:32:23
Unfortunatly, I didn't. I was on a tour of the city. Posted: 04/20/2024 08:52:38
Interesting architecture! Looks like a crashed spaceship. The setting reminds me a little of Empire State Plaza in Albany, although the architecture is very different. Well captured and well framed. The whites and greys set off the dominant blues. Posted: 04/22/2024 08:19:21
I agree it looks like a crashed spaceship. Very interesting architecture, one which I would like to see one day. I like the colors and it is sharp. Nicely done Michael. Posted: 04/24/2024 19:09:28

This is a great photo, interesting and pleasing on the eyes. After reading Sukumar's review, I also agree it looks like a crashed spaceship! I looked at photos of Valencia online and I like your version with the water in front. Posted: 04/25/2024 00:34:01
I have seen other images of this and like your presentation better than some I have seen. I like Calatrava's work and saw a rail station in Belgium which was different. I like having the main building in the center with the other parts leading us into the photo. Well done. Posted: 04/25/2024 17:08:57
