    I've been to Barcelona a good few times so I know these buildings. They're very 'postcardy' if you get me. They don't have any context. Maybe if you zoomed out to show the rest of the building.

    Hope you had a great time there.

    I disagree, I think they're nice studies of particular elements of the building. There are probably a million and one identical shots of that house that include the rest of the building.

    Those buildings look underfed to me....! ;)

    I agree with Trish, I'm left wondering what the rest of the buildings are like, or what the detail on the builing is like..

    Very nice images, I really like them and I have been to Barcelona aswell!

    I like the fact that the whole story is not told and you are left wondering what the rest of the building looks like!

    #1 is a simple but descriptive juxtaposition of different aesthetic and material properties of the building. The others less-so.

    I feel they may have benefited from better framing. If I were taking the photos, I may have chosen to go telephoto (if possible) to flatten the perspective to emphasise that elemental juxtaposition.

    I think the colours look very naturalistic but, having been to Barcelona and basked in the bright sunshine, I may also have post-processed the exposure, colour-balance and saturation to make those colours pop a but more. The basic exposure is good, though. Hard to photograph in that light without blowing out the highlights.

    Can you explain that in working class English? I am interested in the theory as even for portraits and flower shots I see some people use telephotos or normal and I'm curious on how it works and the differences.
    Hope this is not hijacking the thread.

    I'm not a physicist, but it's something to do with how lenses focus light in relation to distance. You can increase or decrease the distance between objects moving away from the lens by choosing a wider or narrower lens respectively, thereby flattening the image, or not.

    Not only can this alter the sense of space in a photo, but also the mood.
