Michael Skorulski from Cigel, Slovakia

A wonderful composition, Mirko. And i would definitely get rid of the leaves. I've only been to the airport in Frankfurt and that is so large it is easy to get lost. However you can take some marvellous images of the long airport corridors.

@Michael Skorulski: Thank you, Michael. You are absolutely right about the airport. Still, I did not yet have the time (or mood?) to go there for pictures. But I am sure I will do this some day...

GJC from Kyoto, Japan

Like the patterns and all the different silvers and grays throughout.

@GJC: Thank you, GJC!

Stephen Phillips from San Francisco, United States

Mirko - wonderful repetitions are everywhere in this image and are complimented by the textures and color. Lovely.

@Stephen Phillips: Thanks for your kind words, Stephen. I found this photo on my disc and it was pretty dull at first. But then I thought that with some small adjustments it could look really nice. Thanks for your encouragement, again!

Marie Le Corre from France

Interesting composition with beautiful grey harmony

Ian Bramham from Manchester, United Kingdom

I love the curve of the benches and their greyness against the green of the hedge!

@Ian Bramham: Thanks for your encouragment, Ian!

Ana Lúcia from Leiria, Portugal

Wow, that is absolutely correct angle to take this kind of photo!

Observing from Local, United Kingdom

Good perspective, and lots of fine detail. I really like the natural - slightly muted colors.

@Observing: Thanks for your observations ;-)

hugo poon from Hong Kong

Oh Ian has "stolen" my comments!:-) Yes, lovely composition and colours!!

@hugo poon: Oh oh. You got to talk some words with Ian. Stealing is no good ;-) Thanks for your nice comments, mate!

David (12 years old) from Topeka, United States

The colors and the curve of the benches are nice.

@David (12 years old): Thank you, David!

Ásgarðr from Norway

Love the angle of this one. Does it go the whole way round?

2 Jul 2008 5:02pm

@Ásgarðr: Hej Ásgarar. No, it doesn't. I think it covers around 90 degrees... A whole circle would be some 15 meters in diameter :-)

great composition!

@[suvni:R]: Thank you!

dj.tigersprout from San Bruno, United States

wow -- there is such sentiment here, Mirko! the leaves seemingly representing the cycles of change, of passed days and the promise of days still to come... beautiful forms and textures throughout! a marvelous capture!

2 Jul 2008 6:42pm

@dj.tigersprout: Thank you very much, DJ. I like your interpretation of the scene. You could just be right ;-)

Harald from Frankfurt am Main, Germany

Tolle Perspektive. Gefällt mir. Und auf Deine Frage zu antworten: Frankfurt gefällt mir sehr gut. -:)

2 Jul 2008 7:05pm

@Harald: Danke, Harald. Ich mag Frankfurt mittlerweile auch sehr. Bin erst vor knapp zwei Jahren in die Region gekommen...

Marcie from United States

I like how the benches wrap around the curve. Very autumnal image. Nice!

2 Jul 2008 7:19pm

@Marcie: Thank you very much, Marcie. The picture was taken last autumn but I did want to post it anyway today (it was the hottest day of the year hear in Frankfurt so far)...

Andrew Gould from Sydney, Australia

Great textures in the curving line of the seats, the paving and the greenery. What an interesting composition this is.
