Greetings from the Critique Club!

What a striking building/buildings. I think you succeeded in capturing the age and power you mention in your notes! Love the effect given by the Tokina...wide-angle lens are fun, aren't they? :-) Love the extreme pov too.

Centred composition but that seems to be the point here as it was a potential Perspective entry. Lighting is adequate, slightly flat due to what looks like a nice case of murk happening overhead. Still, the curves of the building behind the main structure keep drawing me back to look again and again to see what I may be missing.

Overall a great shot of a very imposing edifice. I have probably already given you my lecture on tripods - basically have it handy if you plan to shoot architecture or studio so you can use it. But we don't always have that luxury, so I forgive you for shooting handheld. This time ;-)

Feel free to PM me with any questions,

Susan

Comment by Covert_Oddity:
I've been finding your abstracts really interesting so far and this one is no exception. What's great about them is that you have enough detail that it gives my mind something to grasp onto and then out of that I see all sorts of potential things that it could be!

I rather liked this one. Surprised it didn't do a bit better.

This looks like a long flowing dress. I like the processing also.

My first glance was a dune in the desert. I kinda like it - I'd like a bit more mystery to help draw me in. 6
