I really liked this.

Greetings from the Critique Club:

Three 10s and a good number of 7+ scores, you hit a number of people's sweet spots with this shot. It's executed pretty well and your selective desaturation is done with great precision. Is it necessary though? The scene may have worked better if you had allowed the plant to merge with the board through shared coloration.

Your depth of field and associated precise focus is highly effective and isolates the plant well. Well enough not to need the desat for emphasis.

Overall, this is effective and well executed but the desat is a polariser.

Greetings from the Critique Club:

Certainly a strange building, possibility indicative of a strange land but for some while be castigated for lack of a 'stranger'.

I do enjoy the structure and find the gentle suppression of highlights and shadows adjacent to the curves quite compelling. I wonder why you ddn't make the central vertical vertical?

I think I might have been tempted to tweak the levels on the building to bring the white to true white, I think that would have lifted the image a little.

Overall, it is an interesting shot but its minimalist nature does limit your choices somewhat.

Just some thoughts...
