Wow 6th, I didn’t think this would come so high. The picture was taken in Salford Quays (Manchester, England), It’s a housing and business development, built on old dock land, hence the canal. The buildings hidden by trees were partially designed my farther, who was an architect until he retired. The total lack of people isn’t abnormal its usually like this, although the houses are mostly inhabited there is hardly ever anybody on the streets, which always makes it seem slightly spooky. And thank you for all the comments about the sky, It had been really nice weather all week until my day off which was overcast. D’oh!
Yes, its symmetric but otherwise not very interesting... I want there to be more life (i.e., people) and brigher colors. (BTW, my dtr disagrees with my assessment of the colors!)
nice setup; the tiniest bit crooked; it's like some kind of contemporary wonderland, a nice feeling; the colors run together a little bit, I guess that's the tones, maybe?
nice view. I think the pic might have been stronger if it was taken with the camera on its side, and focused solely on the main building, trees and the water.
I love this picture! Excellent!! Great framing, beautiful subject! The only drawback is that it might be a little dark, but I guess that's because it was cloudy?
If you're going for crazy symmetry, you should have the building appear to sit *completely* vertical, it feels tilted to the right. I'd love to see this shot taken on a calm day, with a clear reflection in the water! A more dramatic sky could improve it a lot, too.
