Three Blue Buildings

Comment by MrAkamai:
Very nice! It's rare when you see blue buildings let alone THREE of them right next to each other! Are you sure you didn't photoshop them? :)

Nice job getting three people in the same frame, too! Shame there aren't three cars! 9

Great lighting and focus. I think i would have gone for off-center with the fountain.

very nice composition. i really like the reflections off the wet pavement. i like the 2 people standing by the fountain, but i find the person in the foreground a little bit distracting.

this is a very peaceful photo to look at, first of all because of the composition and second because of the black and white.
In the composition, everything is working for the middle piece, the vase. The lines seem to cut the photo, leaving the middle. The vase itself is not really in the center, but you absolutely created the IDEA that the vase is centered.

It seems to me that the lines are a bit tilted, I don't know whether my eyes are playing tricks on me, because you didn't stand in front of the cupboard, but slightly to the left of it (because I can see the sites of the right board, but not the sites of the left board), or because the photo IS tilted. You can easily figure this out in Photoshop (for example).

For a black and white picture, there is a lot of grey showing. The vase is nice and deep black, but the parts of the cupboard that aren't in the shadows, would have made the photo more attractive when they would have been a bit more white.

There is nothing wrong with this picture, but the centering of the main object, leads in this photo to a peaceful picture. This photo is a great example that a move of the vase to the left or to the right would have spiced up the picture a lot..
but since this was the challenge of the 'centered composition' you did a really good job on it!

I like the wet courtyard - this does wonders for this shot. IMO the security guard walking from the right is distracting.

Well done. Clear and crisp. Nice use of the upper right corner for natural framing.

it'd be better without the foreground person on the right.
