Oh, I'm glad I got assigned to review this picture. As it loaded SLOWLY on my dial up connection I thought "Yep, here's the winner!" But then it kept loading all that extra street scene and I was disappointed. I don't think I can add much to what everyine else has said. This is almost a stunning picture and I hope you will recrop it and post it somewhere where we can see it again.
The clouds, the towering bank, the glint of sunshine are visially beautiful and the make such a statement. It looks like a church doesn't it? The modern day icon of what we worship, powerful and imposing and even kissed by the sun. Like a stack of coins propped up an each side by dollars, or whatever bills are used to prop up banks in Bahrain. What a statement for our times.
So take out the scissors and cut it right along that wire thing on the right and take away ALL the street scene, it is too dark anyways. Then clone out the streetlight (yes it's cheating but the challenge is over and you get to make it perfect now). Perhaps t could be brightened up a bit without losing the beautiful blue sky? maybe not. ANd then send it to Fortune Magazine to use as a cover!
This is one great shot and it really deserves to be fixed up a bit! Other than the cropping, the camera angle and the focus and the light, all the photographic decisions were well made. It's all there to make it perfect.
Beautiful blue building against a georgeous sky. I love the glint on the window, almost like it's winking at you, saying this one's a winner. And it is. PTL 9
I assume the startburst was on purpose, but I find it rather distracting. Similarly with the corner of the building in the foreground on the upper right. Otherwise the composition is great. The brightness could have been turned up a little.
This is a good picture. I think I would have liked it better if you could have cropped out the the lights, wire and building on the right side. The building stands by itself. I really like the star reflection and the blue sky. Lnede
TD.....what is that? Okay this shot is almost a homerun. I really do like it, good sky, the sun flare is very cool along with the glass windows. I'm not crazy for the dark on the left and the dark trees center. Maybe you could of adjusted the levels? ....that or cropped that part out. Still congrats on a neat shot!!! Justine
Quite nice architechtural image. IMHO I would have cropped out the right side wire and the upper right corner buiding. Good shot, and it's a nice detail the reflection of the sun on the upper window.
That glare is great! Whatever that cable is on the right side of the picture is distracting, maybe a closer crop of the buliding would have done better for this shot. I think I would have liked to see the building much closer to the right side of the picture, with more sky to the left.
