A veritable feast of pointy shapes Louis! But I'm afraid I'm not clever enough to comment further 
Very best

I like this shot because of composition colour and subject.In the latter you saw the fascinating colours, the mathematical composition as per example : You draw a line through the red pan tiles you have a triangle.Again from the same tiles lines projected down wards are also triangles.And there are many more hidden ones. Not only are you an excellent photographer and it seems competent in geometry! What is next?

Hi Louis
I am now convinced there is no hope !
You obviously have a gift of composition, seeing the end result......................
Your photographs are a regularly constant joy.
The colours and angles are superb !
Is the DLux-5 a 8" x 10" sheet film camera ?
Regards,
Al

This is what Mondrian would have created if he was an architect and not a painter.
But the irony is, of course, that it takes the two-dimensional reduction of a photographer's eye, to see the shapes that remain hidden for most casual visitors to a three-dimensional space...

Louis,
I love your colourful geometry and I can see a secret formula hidden in your picture.
But, we do not forget that you are an expert on curves as well, and we hope to see more soon.

Louis, it fails for me in terms of story, emotion and mystery. But oh la la, the composition I really like! Emile's excellent observation of Mondrian-like skill in this shot (both in colour and line) works for me as well. Which is funny, because I cannot recall Mondrian ever using diagonal lines in his abstracts. Yet it is the diagonals which draw us in and holds our attention, isn't it?
I would have preferred a cropping of the left edge further in to the point the downspout is beginning to disappear. It's that extra information on the left that takes the image just a little bit too much out of the abstract realm. With or without that modification, there is such a pleasing composition here to enjoy; something not usually found in my limited areas of aesthetic pleasure.
Thanks!

Thank you for your kind words, dear Kostas. No dear, how can forget some "curves"!.... But somehow lately, my models don't wish to have their pictures in the Internet and I completely understand that!
As Always, my friend,

So kind of you, dear Jeff. There is really no story behind this shot! As you pointed out, I just tried to compose some shapes!
Actually, it was Roel who had the kindness of recalling Mondrian. An you are absolutely right; from what I can remember of Mondrian, he always used straight verticals and horizontals (and squares). At least, this is what I remember from the art school days!
Here, I have more diagonals, or perspectives, since I am using real life architectural shapes.Of course, I thought of that when I was playing with this shot in my computer. But by cutting the left part, something was missing for me; I found the composition "incomplete"! Mondrian's work was one dimensional compositions, without perspective that suggests the "space"! In this shot, taken from "real" subject, I was also interested in the 3D of the "space" and as we say in French, in "Profondeur"! Also, in cutting the left part, I found some "concealed" shape disappearing, which was not my goal!
The good thing about photography and "pictural" expression in general is that we all have different views, ideas, and different sens of composition. I am sure you would have composed this shot differently and it would have certainly be very interesting, dear Jeff!
Thanks again for your visit and kind words.
With warm regards,

This is the problem with this forum - being away for a few days, one tends to run the risk of missing out on great images.
