    lotta different pictures in this one Paul, they come together wonderfully

  • Juilee  Pryor

    wow this is more like a painting than a photo to be honest…. like an early David Hockney or somesuch thing. I really like this.. its flat and mute yet some how still bursting with a barely restrained vigour…well done.

  • Rod  Adams

    Nice work Paul!!

    Looks like a building especially built so you could photograph it in your personal style. The repeating patterns and magic colour schemes work so well together!

  • JayVee

    Very well shot Paul, the pattern is there and you made a fabulous use of it.

    I love this scene Paul, and those people on the balcony looking down to the pool!

  • Suzanne German

    I can’t believe these people are in the pool in December!

  • David Barnes

    David Barnes

    I think this appeals because it’s like you’ve just used four colours, and not even shades of those colours. Such sparing use of colour is amazing. Have a great trip, Paul!

    ooops…hemisphere confusion!

  • Paul Tupman

    I was just thinking that it’s very unusual to see so much work posted from you, but great to see.. This shot has the style that you have really made your own, with the great lines, warm tones and masterful composition. Great stuff!

  • Vasile Stan

    Vasile Stan

    Excellent pic, warm (how else?) shades of colors. I guess, there was a brief hi level business meeting taking place in the pool w some other key employees participating remotely …from their balconies. Never a dull moment!

  • justimagine

    perfect !

  • Gerijuliaj

    I love the way you take a fairly ordinary scene and give it an almost surreal finish. The lines and composition of the few people on the balconies juxtaposed with the 3 in the pool is perfect. The empty chairs and their placement seem to be beckoning them to come and sit a while. Nice one Paul!

    Paul, this is unreal. I don’t know how you do it, like I don’t know how you did that Kangaroo and that picture of Rhana and for that matter virtually all of your stuff. I just hope you keep on doing it because it is a major driving force behind the karma of this site. Kudos to you for amazing us all!!

    I agree Lindsay… pure magic from the Vanzella master… I love the illustrative graphic nature of this paul and the juxtaposition of rectilinear and the curvilinear and of course the toning is just superb as usual! top job mate!

  • christophe

    christophe

    Very nice. I feel both happy for these people enjoying life and sorry because the height of the building tells me there are too many people living at the same place. Your picture tells many stories. Nice composition!

    Totally messes with my head…

  • Mark Ross

    This awkward yet wonderful composition works so well. The figures were so necessary for this to go beyond sheer compositional skill- to bring the entire work alive. You’ve pulled this off well Paul!

  • Carmelh

    Carmelh

    As they say a picture tells a thousand words….this image makes you wonder all the conversations that are taking place…..in the pool…..the two leaning over the balconies and the two higher up….both couples no doubt wishing they were in that pool….
    Love the colours…...
