awmk1981Comment by emorgan49: 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.
