| Creative |
Repetition of the vertical and horizontal lines of the continuous windows of the hotel, accentuated by the two vertical light columns of windows
offset the rounded and pointed shape of the Armadillo very nicely. The nearly monochrome effect makes the image, strengthening the different, contrasting shapes. |
I love the green copper colour, offset by pale building and lit up intermittent windows. The absence of any dominant colours makes these work
subtlety. The clothes on display behind the windows makes the image interesting, and gives depth to the repeated shapes of the copper framed windows and copper plaques. |
