I think it is creative and the colors are a nice cool play off each other.
Congratulations on entering into the challange! Keep it up !

I like what you're going for here with all the angles and shapes, and this is a good perspective. Focus seems a bit soft though, and would like to see more contrast.

Great lines on this. Architecture is always fun to shoot. Nice geometry here.

It's like an optical illusion. Something with the lines and the angle. Makes me think that Spiderman 3 will be in theaters tomorrow!

Comment by TDCollins:
This is an excellent perspective shot. The next time there is a perspective or lines challenge I would take what you've learned from this and re-shoot this shot. You will do very well.

I think you have a good eye for composition in this photo. The reason is your capture of shapes and how they play out. Love the lines, angle, perspective & shapes. You have the corner of the office building's point touch the top of the rectangular photo - thus cutting the sky portion up into two triangles. I was going to suggest that you could have had the point centered in the center so that you had two symmetrical triangles in the photo but the asymmetrical aspect of this I think is more appealing and adds interest. You have more shapes - the various sized rectangles of the building as they reach up to the vanishing point. A very geometric oriented photo. The thing that the photo suffers from is the lack of contrast in tones. Playing with levels in the color channel mixer or brightness/contrast should make the building pop out more from the gray tones of the sky.

Many aspects of this that I really like.

As opposed to some of the other comments I really love the tight crop at the top and there are some wonderful optical illusions going on with the window frames of the building at the side.

Areas which you might want to think about
1. I think the noise in this instance detracts a touch from the shot
2. (And I appreciate other people differ on this) would have preferred a more symettrical rather than slight assymettric crop)

I'd also be interested to see what this looks like with a crop that meant you saw no sky and the building completely filled the frame (though to be honest I am not 100% sure whether this would work)

Overall a nice start

Great lines and perspective here. Grain adds an interesting note. Would like to see a little more negative space at top of photo.

I really like the lines and shapes here - especially the slight asymmetry of the picture.

I agree with the comments below about lacking contrast. You could do levels, curves, contrast as suggested below but I'm guessing you destaurated with the destaurate command so I'd suggest using the Channel Mixer, ticking the monochrome box, and playing with the sliders. Aim for a total of roughly 100 percent. Then you can do the other stuff and dodge and burn.

If you knew this already and are sat there thinking 'Who does this freak think he is to try to tell me how to do something that obvious' then just ignore me or PM me to piss off.

Great angle, great perspective and also great leading lines as well.....
