Angles Up

Nice idea, but the focus isn't the best (hand shake?) and the buildings to the right are a distraction amidst all those great leading lines. Also, the underexposed bottom of the image doesn't do much. And the lighting's not the most flattering -- playing with the color balance might have helped, but shooting under different lighting conditions (earlier or later in the day) is a better bet. Probably more than you wanted to hear from me, but I love these kinds of shots (and architecture is my specialty if I have one).

This is a great composition and idea, but I would have fits trying to get an effective crop out of it.

Nice effective choice of angle. I like the tones also.

Great shot, but it doesn't scream triangle.

How does one compete with stuff like this?! Excellent is an understatement, of course.

36th place?! I thought it was DQd when I didn't see it in the Top 10. Great shot anyway...

What a tough challenge this was. I like this, but I think the oversaturation might have hurt you. It is a little harsh. The other problem (out of your control) is the Basic editing parameters. There's a lot of detail in this image that either got lost in the JPEG comression or the 640 size limit. I suspect it looked much better before resizing/compressing. Also, I'm very careful with USM after resize. It's powerful, and these days, I'm actually finding more and more use for high pass sharpen.

All that said, you did better in this challenge than I did! (which doesn't say much).

Looking at your profile, and at this, I'd have to say greens and yellows are your thing. (I seem to be into dull blues, grays and blacks lately -- what's that say?) Anyway, great capture here and I do love the bright earthy colors.

No comments? I like this -- especially the clean lines and geometry of the building, and the chocolate tones. Maybe more contrast in the sky would have helped, but what do I know about negative? I did abysmally in this challenge.

Beautiful lighting and POV. I love the way the tables and chairs are illuminated by the rising (setting?) sun. I might have cropped off more of the left side.
