The Cat in the Hat in La Paz, a photo from La Paz, North

Photographer's Note

I got lucky with a reflection here on the streets of La Paz. It reminds me of the art of Dr Seuss, and started me wondering whether he spent his time looking at buildings through distorted mirrors.

Hi Iain,
quite an impressive and colourful relfection, the creative effect reminds me of abstract impressionism. Very strong graphical effect,
Cheers

A great reflection with excelent illumination , Lain.
I would have thought it's somewherelse unless you told that it's in La-Paz.
It doe's looks like a painting, but I still looking for the cat...

Ciao dear Iain,
it's really difficult to choose a photo in your gallery, because they are all very beautiful ones. Today I have chosen this masterpiece, not only because I am a lover of the reflexes, but above all for the wonderful way with which you have captured and realized it. Sincere compliments!
Ciao, have a nice day!
Paolo

Hi Iain, what a classy photo. I think you're being too modest when you say "I got lucky". Many would have stuffed up this photo - including me. It's beautifully saturated and the image is completely luminous. It's a lovely work in graphics and so attractive. Congrats and have a good evening, Lisa

Ciao Iain,
molto bello questo riflesso sulla vetrata del palazzo.
Mi piacciono molto le deformazioni date dalla distorsione prospettica.
Il risultato è simile a quello di un dipinto astratto ad acquarello.

Bravo! TFS!

Hi Iain
it's such surrealistic and fascinating, it could be any thing beyond to a glare. as an example it could be a watercolor, a poster, a feeling that someone is successful to realize with the signs and the colors. funny, much beautiful image.
ciao

eev99 (1264) 2010-09-16 8:32

Wonderful flow and colors. This reminds me of a Salvador Dali painting with fascinating fluid qualities.

Thanks for your visit, Lain.
Reminds me of those distorting circus mirrors of my youth!!
No post-processing filter can render such a modern art depiction.
Interesting shapes and colors.
Bravo!
Robert

Longroute (19600) 2010-10-10 6:55

Again the random choice of photos in your intro made me discover this very pretty and artistic composition: nearly and abstract painting! so incisive and expressive, impossible to miss it!
Really a lucky captured and a masterful framing.
TFs,
Donato

A great cartoon by high graphic POV,
Very clear colours and details well done LAIN PEARSON.

AKITA (15125) 2010-10-21 23:36

dear Iain,
this warped reflections are one word "surrealism",
the strange essences of those buildings can be observed in this magic mirror,
and the essences are quite unusual and wonder, though original objects are actually common,
maybe our true eyes are opened by that strange device,
anyway, colors and composition are beautiful and artistic,
thank you for your excellent shot,
Akihisa

Hola Iain.
Sensacionales estos reflejos, sus curiosas formas y variedad de color crean una autentica pintura moderna.
Muy buen control de la luz sin ningun brillo, pero con una gran nitidez. Bonito y original trabajo. Bravo.
Saludos cordiales.
Luis.

Hi Iain,
Wonderfull reflection and colors. We could think it's a painting.

It does have a Seussical air! I like the little pink fish (?) in the corner... Iain, you have so many wonderful photos, I couldn't decide which thumbnail to click on. But reflections always trump the hand...
Super capture with marvelous colors. I'm also thinking Picasso with all those blues and bold lines. Thanks for browsing my photos and for your critique! Sara

sacimar (38173) 2012-02-24 4:20

alvaraalto (42804) 2016-11-14 3:41

Hello Iain,
Interesting gallery full of people.
Because reflection are one of my main theme I start with the admiration of this fantastic distorted scene.
A round surface often gives the most beautiful unexpected compositions.
Excellent picture
Have a nice day
