Theme Park Car Park

lolol…...............dolphins to car park, my goodness…..............wonderful image Paul

What a painterly look this has! You’ve calmed down the fierce Queensland sun and made it look quite tame…..Well done!

great visual image

Love the typical Paul Vanzella treatment,great work

Fantastic shot! Great capture as always :)

I knew that was one of yours as soon as I saw the thumbnail. Such a distinctive and imaginative style – wonderful art …

Great image!

Once again you make the ordinary extraordinary. Only you, Mr V! LOL

Wonderful work, Paul – beautifully done :-D

It is so real and surreal at the same time. It almost feels as if I’m standing in that carpark , the sense of volume and color palette in the image is stunning it so jumps straight to my favorites. Another success PV

a new look here for you, methinks.

Only you could make a carpark look like a painting….lovely treatment!!

I like the treatment. Those clouds look painted.

how to turn something mundane into something really sharp! this is great

Great image … wonderful composition … excellent work!

Excellent treatment! Love your view!

Great retro palette and division of space Paul. Reminds me of an early 1960s Fiat executive visualizing the future. Who needs jumping dolphins? (My guess is the beloved daughter).

u just have an amazing eye and treatment of things!!

extremely well seen and great treatment to top it off :)

wonderful, in your style!

Life on eARTh. A Great Shot of Our Non Moving economy ” – ))

Wow Paul, this so reminds me of those hour-long walks to the front gate!
As usual, you`ve created an awesome vibe here which so eloquently matches a view that is so detatched from the idea of a theme park… I love the fact that you went there with your camera and decided to show us this. You totally rock!

Great composition, looks like a painting, great treatment..anna ; )

Love the style and painted look of this Paul… really well done. The lighting is awesome which is really picked up on in your processing. The style reminds very much of Edward Hoppers paintings capturing the mundane moments in life… but capturing them so well!

excellent capture and brilliant treatment here. much better than dolphins

your graphic designer eye is beautifully shining through this piece paul.
i love the little details like the groups of people walking through the car park and the camper van. also love how the metal structure acts like a horizon. nice work! ;-) xox

Great commentary again Paul! love the bisection of top and bottom like 2 separate pieces really….

It’s almost like looking at two metaphors – the top being quiet and calm and structured with the bottom being chaos and disorder. A statement on entropy perhaps?

Awesome..love the painted sky in contrast with the car park so real and modern!

Blow the dolphins, let’s see hot, steamy cars. Whwaorr.

good to see Vanzella work in the new year…you inspire alot of people on the bubble, not least me, good work Paul

Love how you have seen and constructed this Paul. Contrasting the sea of cars against the soft sky via the concrete overpass really works well. Makes a statement.

This says so much about us, as much as it is a beautiful art piece!
Our need for space and transportation… taking over the “green” world.
Your framing and post prod are always spot on but it’s that unique ability you have to capture a scene, well that’s just what makes you “Da Man”!!! :D

love the way you have made an ordinary scene into a visual work of art,,,, well done Paul,,,, love the treatment,,,

I can’t stop looking at this, so much to see! It’s great to see our mundane turned into something so interesting and compelling.

like the division into basically 2 pics… and I really can’t imagine PV taking shots of jumping dolphins along with 200 other people

I love carparks. I’d love to do a whole series on the best of them, my favorite is the U-Park in Rundle Mall Adelaide, it actually won an award.

Fantastic image Paul…looks like an old coast postcard….I don’t envy anyone the walk from and to these carparks in the heat;)

like this one

Wheres my car??? I cant find it anywhere??? Superb shot…your talent for turning the ordinary into the exraordinary is endless!!!

Great composition.

Yep I can see why it caught your eye Paul. It really sutis your style. Love it!

Jumping dolphins – just so ordinary. But, parked cars – a work of art. Well done as usual.

wonderful capture, looks like a painting…of real LIFE in soft technicolor. Signature, brilliant Vanzella. Good to know Australia has a SeaWorld. The one here in San Diego is a fav place of mine.

_{okay and I admit it, I’m a sucker for jumping dolphins, they make me weep with joy}

This is brilliant… I can see why this scene captured your attention… perfect composition here, Paul… as always! :-)

superb work again/ageless/the brilliant vanzella treatment again

Your style definitely stands out, I noticed the thumbnail and knew it was you! I love how you turn ordinary scenarios into surreal views! Just love the composition on this, with the image didived into a pedestrian view below and a city view above. Sorta like the micro and macro all together!

i really like the lines and textures in this image

STUNNING

The sky is so painterly – the cars so mechanical and meccano/toy like, slicing through it great cement divides. Wonderous!

your comments made me laught out loud! Love it!!

I am with everyone….you do an incredible job making the ordinary extraordinary…..big fan of your work ….you certainly make me look at my surroundings in a new light….LOVE IT!!!

Hmm, is there any room left for me to make a comment….......lol. I love how you have that exquisite eye for balance and form. Here you show the highrise sitting atop the overpass with it’s sparcity and large sky and below the cars creating the feeling of crush…......... You really do it…............and so well

Again a real different shot, great eye to see the potential and love the finish.

another one of your excellent works Paul, this almost looks like a painting? very cool!

This is a little different from your other works in that it has a grainy quality – somewhat like an old film photograph. I like that quality in this shot.

You’ve turned an every day carpark into a photosurreal painting. It’s superb!

i don’t know why…but i get a feeling of being trapped when i look at this..unnerving but brilliant

Goodness Paul you do have an eye for a great shot brilliant finish, still waiting for the dolphin shots :-))

STUNNING – You give an order to the chaos, and so beautifully eerily….

So glad I’m not the only one who would favour this image over one of a jumping dolphin…

Excellent work, Paul. :)

Awesome work Paul :-)

Terrific as usual Paul.

I really love this Paul. Wonderful M:>

awesome effects on the sky,
amazing scene and colours

Don’t know how you have done it but the treatment of this pic is fantastic…...I also like the composition a lot

l thought it was the south eastern freeway lol ! great capture Paul

Beautiful – as with many of your other photos, a strange, alienated, lightness that you have imparted; lovely composition

I give it a Thumbs Up!

great framing and I love the treatment here

Great picture, love the feel of this..

outstanding

Great picture!
